Armed with a dozen doughnuts and a bagel, Michael Zaydel came good on his promise when he walked into the Redford Township Police Department (RTPD) after losing a bet with them.
You see, the wanted Michigan man “promised to give himself up to the police if a Facebook post about an existing arrest warrant received more than 1,000 shares,” reports The Telegraph.
Commenting on the post, he wrote:
“I’m not worried about it,” he wrote. “If your next post gets 1,000 shares I’ll turn myself in with a dozen doughnuts and that’s a promise.
“And I’ll pick up every piece of litter around your public schools.”
The original post leaves little to be desired, if only for the mugshot:
The cocky 21-year-old fugitive eventually surrendered to police. In a follow-up post, the department wrote:
“Zaydel made good on his promise to turn himself in to RTPD for his outstanding warrants,” the department said.
“He walked in on his own, and not only did he bring the doughnuts, he brought one bagel! We would again like to express our gratitude for the support of all who followed this, shared it, and left us positive feedback.”

Zaydel was sentenced to 39 days in jail after pleading guilty to breaking the terms of his probation.
No word on whether the doughnuts and one bagel saved him from serving more time, though.
