Rio Rancho resident Keith Turner, who works near a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop on Albuquerque's west side, said he was taking a break with other people between 12:30 and 1 a.m. on Oct. 4 when a police helicopter swooped down, circled and landed in a nearby dirt field. One of those aboard got out and went inside while the helicopter idled, then returned a few minutes later carrying a box of doughnuts, he said.

Turner, who said he was angered by the incident, reported it to Chief Gerald Galvin's office and the news media.
