Oregon state trooper is finalist in national donut contest with the ‘Cop Cake’

Donuts and cops, cops and donuts: they go together like criminals and handcuffs.

In fact, for Trooper Chris Schinnerer of the Oregon State Police, the shape of handcuffs were the inspiration for the donut he entered in the Dunkin’ Donuts “Create Dunkins’ Next Donut” contest.

He called it the “Cop Cake,” a cake donut with chocolate frosting, white sprinkles and chopped up peanut butter cups on top.

Good cop, better donut. Lo and behold the donut was chosen from thousands of entries and Schinnerer was selected as one of 12 finalists from across the U.S., and the only one west of the Mississippi River.

“According to the Dunkin’ Donuts rep, there are no more Dunkin’ Donuts in Oregon,” Schinnerer, a five year veteran assigned to the Tualatin patrol office, said.

Despite that, Schinnerer said he saw an ad on TV promoting the contest to create a donut, because, “cops and donuts are synonymous,” he said.

“I’m not ashamed to say I could eat a donut right now.”
