Police in Oregon arrested a man on Saturday after he allegedly robbed a doughnut shop with a hatchet, left with a box of doughnuts and stopped a short distance away to eat one of the treats.

Officers responded to a call about the robbery at 3:24 a.m. Saturday, the Portland Police Bureau said in a press release. The bureau didn't say what doughnut shop was robbed, but The Oregonian reported it was a Voodoo Doughnut that's open 24 hours on weekends.

While officers were responding to what originally was called a "disturbance" with an ax, the suspect, identified as Christopher L. James, left the doughnut shop on foot. Officers found James "about a block away eating a doughnut and holding a pink box from the doughnut shop," Portland police said in a press release.

James ran and was captured about two blocks from where police found him, according to the Portland Police Bureau.

A Voodoo Doughnut spokesman said the company is cooperating with authorities and surveillance footage of the incident has been turned over to police.

The Portland Police Bureau said no one was injured in the incident and a hatchet was recovered from the doughnut shop. James, 40, was arrested on a first-degree felony robbery charge and taken to a Multnomah County Detention Center.

"The safety of our customers and employees is Voodoo Doughnut’s highest priority," the Voodoo Doughnut spokesperson wrote in an email. "We are grateful that no one was injured during the incident."

The doughnut company has three Oregon locations – two in Portland, according to its website.
