Bradley Hardison is charged with two counts of felony breaking and entering and misdemeanor injury to real property.
A North Carolina man who beat police officers in a doughnut-eating contest got his just desserts the next day after they realized that he was a wanted man. Bradley Herbert entered the cuisine-eating competition at the Elizabeth City Police Department's National Night Out Against Crime and won it by polishing off eight doughnuts in two minutes.
The field that the 24-year-old defeated included local police officers and firefighters.
"I did congratulate him," Lt. Max Robeson told WTKR. "Good for him. He can eat a lot of doughnuts. Good for him."
The day after the contest, officials realized that Herbert was wanted in connection with two break-ins that happened at local grocery stores thanks to story about the suspect's eating prowess.
"When I came in that morning and read that article I was pissed because it's like throwing it in our face," Robeson said. "We've been looking for you for months. I didn't ask him if he won a trophy -- he probably did."
Herbert was charged with two counts of felony breaking and entering and misdemeanor injury to real property.
"It's like he had the audacity to do something like that knowing that he had broken into these places," Robeson said.
If the “Hot Doughtnuts Now” sign is lit up, 8 (hot) in two minutes is nothing. They literally melt in your mouth like cotton candy.
Stop it!!!!! That’s porn right there! ;)
I thought the headline meant this guy was literally BEATING the officer with a powdered up French Cruller Donut. That would leave a dusty mark.
A bunch of sore loser cops? Ha! (Just funning...) Smile. Smile.

So is it Hardison or Herbert?
The felony and misdemeanor charges. What did he do? Break into a donut shop and eat the donuts?

Exactly, unless they were cake donuts
Let the wookie win.
That's exactly what it is.
My college roommate and I would hit that hot doughnuts sign at Krispy Kreme, eating a dozen doughnuts driving home, passing a quart of skim milk between us on the ride home after downtown closed.
We are still svelte and damn hot.
Hey! Why bother with skim milk! Go all da way BB, WHOLE Milk!!
“If the “Hot Doughtnuts Now” sign is lit up, 8 (hot) in two minutes is nothing. They literally melt in your mouth like cotton candy.”
Used to work at a deli. Had to arrive early to make the doughnuts. Dudes would line up at 6AM at the take-out window.
Looking through Craigslist I see a donut shop job opening, it says you could be asked to arrive as early as 1AM
Need pictures or it isn’t true.
Only eight doughnuts in two minutes. If they were raised glazed doughnuts, a person should be able to down 8 in under one minute.
That's funny.
The image that went through my mind was Oh, no you didn't!
followed by a beat-down.
I just moved out of Texas ... To Florida
