Police: Repeat Felon Drops Loaded Gun In Doughnut Shop Full Of Cops
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Of all the places in the world for a repeat felon to drop an illegal firearm on the floor, a cop-filled doughnut shop is pretty much the worst spot for that to happen.
Three NYPD Transit officers were at the Dunkin/Baskin Robbins shop on Surf Avenue in Coney Island on Sunday when they say another customer adjusted his pants and dropping a loaded handgun onto the floor.
The NYPD Transit police tweeted "Seriously, this actually happened."
3 of our cops are in the local Dunkin/Baskin Robbins. A fella walks in, adjusts his pants & out drops a loaded gun on the floor. Now the repeat felon carrying it is in custody, all because a Transit cop had a craving for cake batter ice cream???? (seriously, this actually happened) pic.twitter.com/9Ue6IHQi2g
