Dim Crims: Donut trap

 Deputies in Pasco County, Florida, arrested a man after he tried to get a discount on donuts by impersonating a law enforcement officer.  Police say say 48-year-old Charles "Chuck" Barry went to the drive-thru of a Trinity Dunkin' Donuts last week, and after identifying himself as law enforcement, asked for a discount on his order of donuts.  When the clerk refused to give him the discount, Barry allegedly held up a gun -- still in its holster -- and said, "See, I'm a cop!" The witness told investigators Barry never pointed the gun at him or took it out of its holster. Barry was arrested when he returned the next next day. [Source]  [BJS]
