Police officers buy donut shop

CLARE, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - If you thought the whole thing about police officers and donuts was made up, well you are wrong. Some cops really do like donuts.

"It's a great idea. Cops and donuts. Everybody talks about cops and donuts," said Officer Gregory.

A group of police officers were upset because their favorite donut shop was closing, so they bought it. Nine members of Clare's finest are now in the donut business.

"[It's a] group of, you know, nine policemen in this community, we all live here. That said, we're going to ban together as a group, and we're gonna save this bakery," said Officer Gregory. "You hear, you know, the same old jokes, like you guys are gonna eat up all the profit."

The bakery has been in business for 113 years. Now it will stay open a while longer.

They plan to staff the place with volunteers from the police department as well as some high school and college students.
