Police use doughnut DNA to solve church crime

Doughnut-loving police have solved a church burglary through analysing DNA found on a half-eaten doughnut. As Homer Simpson said: "Donuts - is there anything they can't do?"
In the case Indiana police were called to a church burglary where a number of musical instruments were taken.
They initially struggled for leads but hungry, and frankly stereotypical, officers found a box of doughnuts in the church's kitchen.
Preparing for a well-earned snack, Police chief Wigham-style, they noticed a bite had been taken from one of the doughnuts.
Furious that one of the tasty donuts had been spoiled, officers redoubled their efforts to track the perpetrator.
Deputies sent the half-eaten doughnut to the Indiana State Police lab for testing. It found that DNA left on the treat matched the man, who is serving a prison sentence at the Branchville Correctional Facility for an unrelated home burglary.
A 22-year-old man was charged with burglary and the police had a deserved snack.

Hmmmmm. Doughnuts...
