Neal McCaleb would be proud. Maybe.

In their quest for Krispy Kreme doughnuts -- hailed by the Assistant Secretary as a prominent example of Indian entrepreneurship -- two Albuquerque, New Mexico, law enforcement pilots made an early morning run for the delicious items on Thursday. But what has gotten the local police force upset is not that the pair didn't share, but that they used a police helicopter to get the doughnuts.

The helicopter is supposed to be used for late-night air patrols. The pilot and the police officer appeared to be at the end of their shift when they made the run, which occurred sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. said a witness.
