I loved that article... "(the owner) Shannon dropped the microphone and bolted outside 9the bar across the street), where police were escorting a handcuffed suspect out of Voodoo. Shannon exploded with anger.

"We will press charges to the fullest extent," he yelled as an officer reached out, urging him to calm down. You don't, he added, mess "with Voodoo's giant doughnut."

Fryer Jay announced that Voodoo Doughnuts would reopen at midnight after the pepper gas cleared out. Shannon gave the customer who first jumped to the giant doughnut's rescue a coupon for a dozen free doughnuts. And, down at Central Precinct, police cited 25-year-old Nathan Neiderbach on charges of second-degree theft and malicious mischief.

"The police behaved themselves," Shannon says. "They wouldn't accept any free doughnuts."
