Another true Krispy Kreme story... Police in trouble over helicopter doughnut run Police in New Mexico say an officer and a pilot went on a midnight doughnut run in a helicopter. Albuquerque police are investigating whether they broke any rules using the Kiowa OH-58 patrol helicopter. Witnesses said the helicopter landed near a doughnut shop and an officer bought a box of them before they flew off. Lieutenant Bob Huntsman said: "Between the two of them, I don't know how they decided that was a good idea. "We're going to look into it. If they violated policy or procedure, they're going to get disciplined for it. We've worked too hard to make this a professional unit to let lack of common sense tear us down." Witness Keith Turner, who works near the Krispy Kreme shop, said: "After it landed, I was like, 'No. They'd better not go and get donuts.''' He said one of the people on board got out and went inside the shop while the helicopter waited and that the person returned to the helicopter 10 to 15 minutes later carrying a box of Krispy Kremes. Keith said: "I was angry, and I'm still kind of angry. That's my tax dollars, your tax dollars. You've got no business flying in to get doughnuts." Lt Huntsman confirmed that "as far as we know, they did bring doughnuts back," the Albuquerque Journal reports. He said he hadn't had a chance to speak directly with the pilot or flight officer and added that they were probably on their way back to the hangar at Double Eagle 2 airport.
