Sweet Surrender: Michigan man brings police doughnuts

A 21-year-old man wanted for probation violations surrendered at a Michigan police station - with a dozen doughnuts for officers. The sweet gesture didn't help Michael Zaydel. He still was sentenced to 39 days in jail Tuesday, a day after walking into the Redford Township police department.

Sgt. Duane Gregg says Zaydel had promised to turn himself in if a post on the department's Facebook page was shared 1,000 times. The threshold was easily met. Gregg says Zaydel was arrested when he appeared Monday with a bag of doughnuts and a bagel.

He told TV station WXYZ that "cops like doughnuts," and he wanted to reward them for any inconvenience. Gregg got the bagel. Did other officers eat the doughnuts? The sergeant says: "No comment."
