Man Arrested for Impersonating Cop to Get Discount on Donuts

I just thought the headline was funny.   

Deputies say 48-year-old Charles "Chuck" Barry went to the drive-thru of a Trinity Dunkin' Donuts, identified himself as law enforcement and then proceeded to demand a discount for donuts.

What's a little disturbing about it is this:

On November 12, surveillance was set up at Dunkin Donuts in a risky sting operation. A Deputy with the Pasco Sheriff's Officer saw Barry driving away from the business. This resulted in a traffic stop where the deputy noted a law enforcement badge in Barry's wallet. He was also carrying a .38 caliber revolver in his front pocket.

You would think that the police would have better things to do than follow up on someone asking for a discount at Dunkin Donuts by pretending to be a cop. 

Oh, and you never want to carry a gun in your pants pocket, especially while you're driving.  Trust me on this.
