ATLANTA —

An armed robbery suspect is in custody after police say he tried to rob a donut shop in southwest Atlanta.

The incident happened at the Dunkin' Donuts near the intersection of Ralph D Abernathy Boulevard SW and Cascade Avenue SW just before 10 p.m. Saturday.

Police told Channel 2 that while the man was trying to rob the shop, a police officer arrived at the scene. The suspect tried to flee, but was shot in the arm by the officer, police said.

Following the shooting, the man jumped into a car, but crashed two blocks away from the scene. He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital and is listed in stable condition.

What is the moral of this story that we have before us today . . .

“Never, never, stand between a cop and his donut.”

I’m sure he would have had better luck if he had robbed a Fruitful Yield store, or GNC.

in the TV series, Hill Street Blues; there was scene where a armed guy tried
to rob/hold-up a "police bar", that was real life. It didn't end well for the prep.

So that’s why the cops are always at the donut shop. Someone’s got to put the holes in the donuts!

> Maybe next time he’ll try robbing a gun shop. He must like prison life.

If he tries that he may have no life at all.
