While wrong, the image playing over and over in my head leaving my laughing hysterically.

:D

[Doctor Q]

Jeffrey Hoffelder, 18, of Tolland, a passenger in the Jeep, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal mischief, interfering with police and throwing objects at a moving vehicle.At least they weren't charged with assault with a devil's-food weapon.

I doughnut know the complete story, but I'd say the case has a lot of holes.

[mactastic]

Hell, they're lucky they're not being charged with terrorism...

[Jaffa Cake]

Jeffrey Hoffelder, 18, of Tolland, a passenger in the Jeep, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal mischief, interfering with police and throwing objects at a moving vehicle. His bail was set at $1,500.Sounds like he's got himself in a jam there. That bail certainly is a lot of dough...

At yeast they are young, maybe they can turn their lives around.

Hmm, I wonder how many times people have been brought up on this type of charge? :D

[aquajet]

Any word on what kind of doughnuts were used?

[DavidLeblond]

I'd fry the punk just for wasting perfectly good doughnuts. :P

[Doctor Q]

My kids wanted to throw Krispy Kremes at a patrol car but I told them "DO NUT do that!"

[Tanglewood]

My mental image of this has Chief Wiggum being pelted with donuts then eating them instead of giving chase.

[CorvusCamenarum]

Raspberry jam at that. Or lemon if you prefer.

I'm still laughing at the irony.

Oh man I can see that to ha ha ha!

[FleurDuMal]

Fried foods are a real threat to security in America aren't they. First of all a pretzel tried to kill your president, then donuts attack your police force.

Or risk getting your buns whipped.

[redAPPLE]

apparently... the evidence mysteriously disappeared...

but thankfully cameras caught the culprit...

Quick, someone rename this thread to "Revenge of the Bad Puns" :p

I know, it is getting to the point where you can't walk down the street without being attacked by some sort of greasy, artery chocking, life-threatening form of fast food. ;) :D

[pknz]

Mmmm Doughnuts. I sure could dow ith some. Throw some this way kids!

[sushi]

While wrong, the image playing over and over in my head leaving my laughing hysterically.
You summed up my thoughts exactly.

[OutThere]

The reason they got caught was probably because they were laughing too hard to run...



Once I was walking down to the end of a dead end street with my dog. I got to the end and there was a cop car parked lengthwise across the road, with two cops on the other side of the car, facing a way from me. I walked past the car and turned around to see what they were doing.

They had a ginormous box of donuts and were silently stuffing their faces (down at the deserted end of this quiet little dead end street). I giggled. They gave me a death stare. :D

Seeing as this was Connecticut State Troop C, maybe I should do it to the local cops here....Connecticut State Troop B. They'd probably go into lock down...attacks from all sides! :D

That it is pretty funny OutThere. Thanks for the laugh. :D

[redAPPLE]

speaking of cops and donuts... this pic made me laugh!

[m-dogg]

It's times like this I am truly proud to be a lifelong resident of Connecticut. Yeah Tolland!

Reminds me of a friend from college that used to throw fried chicken at tourists in his town when he was in high school.

LOL :D

That picture is hilarious redAPPLE! :)

[JeffHoffelder]

I found this page by typing my name into google. The doughnuts were krispy kreme, 3 of them were boston creme, one was jelly. It was the most fun I've ever had, totally worth getting arrested.

[WildCowboy]

Thanks for the additional info, Jeff! Our eyes have been glazing over wondering what kind of donuts they were.

(Can we get you hooked on Macs while you're here? :D )

[iwasinvolved]

they had police dogs.... those were the chances. the police car had a police dog, and the one infront of it (also a police car) of course had another officer.

[DZ/015]

Congratulations! I wish I was still young enough to throw doughnuts at cops and still have it be somewhat acceptable. Unfortunately, I am too old to do this sort of thing and have any excuse. I would be beaten and prosecuted!

[sushi]

Great picture. LOL.

Where I used to live in the states, if you wanted to find a cop, Mister Donuts was the place regardless of the time of day. Can't say that I blame them as they had some great donuts there.

So, you were indeed the one, eh? Good for you. I never would have thought my question would be answered. I never much cared for krispy kreme myself, so it's good to see you didn't waste any good donuts. :D

[sushi]

Ha! Good one.

Dr. Q, I think I am going to charge you with intent to encourage eating pancakes. Seeing your avatar makes me hungry! :p :D

[Counterfit]

First of all a pretzel tried to kill your president,
That pretzel paid dearly for that failure... :mad:

Also, pretzels are usually baked, not fried.

To the UConn Community:


It is with sincere regret and great sadness that I write to inform you
of the untimely loss of a student member of our campus community.
Jeffrey Hoffelder, a freshman commuter student from Tolland,
Connecticut, died on Tuesday, October 24, 2006.

[zephead]

Whoa dude. That totally killed the laughter I had reading up until this point :(. What happened to him?

[savanahrose]

I looked at the obit for him.

At the end it says in leiu of flowers that you can donate to the american foundation for suicide prevention.

I think he may have killed himself.

That is so so sad. :(

I feel sorry for his parents. He was only 18

[MrSmith]

An 18 year old committing suicide is tragic.

But this is a wind-up, right?. I mean, the guy posts once (and can - and does - describe exactly how many donuts and what kind). Then another guy, who happens to knows that the first guy posted on MR once only, goes to the trouble of posting - again once only - to tell us the first guy died? I think someone's yanking our chain. :(

[savanahrose]

nope, I dont think so. His obit was in the paper. The Hartford Connecticut paper. Look it up and see for yourself.

[MrSmith]

nope, I dont think so. His obit was in the paper. The Hartford Connecticut paper. Look it up and see for yourself.
Which Hartford Connecticut paper? Got a link?

[savanahrose]

There is the link to the obit

[CanadaRAM]

There is the link to the obit

http://www.legacy.com/HartfordCourant/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=19724832

And a Google search for the name brings up MacRumors as the first hit. Not unlikely someone used that to find forums where the individual posted.

[savanahrose]

Not this rose, I have been working real hard today.

[jsw]

Sad news indeed. This marks the first time I've been made aware of a member who has died. I'm sure it's happened, more than I'd like to think, but I've never known the details before.

[MrSmith]

Don't I feel bad :(

[Killyp]

Gawd that's terrible. I had a friend who jumped in front of a train, suicide is horrible. I wish I'd never think about it, but I can't help it.

Best wishes to his family and friends...

[savanahrose]

Mr. Smith, don't beat yourself up about it. You went by what you seen with your eyes. I don't think his parents will see it. That is what matters the most.

[falchek06]

I am a fellow high school graduate with jeff and as searched his name and found and read this post i thought that u should know what happend. His very close friend created a facebook group and posted the truth:

this is for people who dont really know what happened

"heres the breakdown

jeffs been trying to do this since 7th grade. he was my best friend. we spent every moment of the day together. weekday weekend, it didnt matter. i always saw that kid. he would talk to me everyday about this, and i would convince him not to. he loved me so he never went through with it. then he set a date of the 24th, then told me he wasnt going to go through with it because he didnt want to hurt me. i went to school and saw a post he made telling me how he loved me and he had to do it to be out of his misery

at 7am he went down to his garage, started his car, burned two bags of charcoal, lied down and poisoned himself with CO.


theres nothing anyone could have done. it was something he felt he needed to do. he wasnt happy and he thought he had no future

all we can do is respect his wishes and never forget him"


I hope this helps u, despite the sad mood i was in when i saw this forum it mad me laugh and think only jeff could cause all of this.

Exactly Chief Wiggum is what first came to mind.

Gawd that's terrible, I suppose it's better that he felt happy when he did it. There's nothing worse than dying an unhappy person. Best wishes...

[ziwi]

I believe they were Glazed and they grazed the officer who pressed the charges...;)

[savanahrose]

Thank you for clearing that up. My heart goes out to you and his family. You all have my deepest sympathy. From what I have read, I wish I really knew him.
