DNA on doughnut solves church burglary

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Bloomington police believe a church burglary has been solved through DNA found on a half-eaten doughnut.

Twenty-two-year-old Morgan D. Brock Jr. has been charged with burglary in the January 2007 break-in at Woodhaven Christian Church.

Police said a number of musical instruments were taken, but officers found a box of doughnuts in the church's kitchen and noticed a bite had been taken from one of the doughnuts.

Deputies sent the half-eaten doughnut to the Indiana State Police lab for testing. Authorities received confirmation in November that DNA left on the treat matched Brock, who is serving a prison sentence at the Branchville Correctional Facility for an unrelated home burglary.
