Davenport may hire cops to protect donuts

Des Moines and Cedar Rapids will no longer be the only places in Iowa where people wait in line for hours just to get a simple, tasty desert. When Krispy Kreme Donuts opens its new store in Davenport next week, many thousands of people are expected. A city alderman has requested extra police patrols to handle the forecasted traffic snarls. Some officers will even be assigned to the store between five A-M and 11 P-M. The donut shop is also hiring four off-duty cops to direct traffic and handle crowd control.
