Cops Were Eating Donuts …And Caught Three Robbers

You might have seen a few of the, “Back The Blue,” signs around the Circle City.  Not all cops are bad and they do a really tough job. They also love their donuts. The latter helped them catch criminals.

 

Three people robbed a house in Chico, California around 3:00 A.M. on Monday, and then they decided to swing by a 24-hour donut shop.

 

And . . . there happened to be a few cops inside at the time having coffee.

 

The cops saw some drug paraphernalia fall out of one woman’s pockets as she got out of the car.  So the cops went outside to search them, and another person in their group had a semi-automatic gun tucked into his waistband.

 

And just as they were searching the car, they got a call reporting the robbery.

 

They connected it to the three people at the donut shop and arrested 25-year-old Shayla Robins-Bailey, 32-year-old Matthew Considine, and 25-year-old Joseph Lawrence on several charges.
