Orlando cop resigns after mistaking doughnut glaze for meth
The Orlando Police officer who arrested a man after mistaking doughnut glaze for methamphetamine resigned a week after she was reprimanded for making false arrest.
Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkins, who worked with the department for about a decade, left her job on Jan 22 to be a stay-at-home mom.
Riggs-Hopkins in December 2015 arrested Daniel Rushing, 65, after she spotted what she thought were drugs on the floorboard of his car. Police spotted him at a 7-11 they’d been monitoring after receiving complaints about drug activity, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Riggs-Hopkins pulled Rushing over and saw a rocky, white substance inside his vehicle.
“I kept telling them, ‘That’s ... glaze from a doughnut,” Rushing told the newspaper. “They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, ‘No, it’s meth, crystal meth.’”

A fucking cop doesn't know what donut glaze is?
