Some jokes just write themselves

Local Cop Charged With Stealing Donuts

State police say an upstate New York college campus policeman was helping himself to free pastries at a local convenience store.

The Valero Nice N Easy offers free coffee to any police officer in uniform.

Sgt. Steve Brody of the Morrisville State College University Police stopped daily to buy a newspaper and pick up a free cup of coffee. He also routinely stuffed a pastry into his coat.

Brody is now accused of taking about $30 worth of pastries over at least 17 separate occasions.

Brody, 55, of Morrisville, was ticketed for petty larceny. Troopers say they have surveillance videos.

Brody and his defense attorney declined to comment. Brody remains an employee at Morrisville; school officials say the case is a personnel matter and refused further comment.

  2. Nice to see Homer comment once in a while.

    And since someone is going to say it, I will say it first: "Bad cop, no doughnut."

    That said, I will also say this: Many times, I have made it a point to go up to law enforcement officers and thank them for putting their lives on the line to protect us. I have also learned that backing up and doing so at 3 a.m. at the 7-11 while driving a large enclosed van can cause holster flaps to open at a fast rate. (I was tired and hadn't really thought about how it might appear to the anti-gang unit members talking outside the 7-11.)
    We were all glad to realize that I just a guy thanking them for their work.
