'Black Lives Matter' Written on Krispy Kreme Doughnut Box: Report

SMYRNA, GA -- Krispy Kreme and local police are looking into a report that "Black Lives Matter" was scribbled on a box of doughnuts bought by a police officer in Smyrna, according to media outlets.

A pro-police officer blog called Blue Lives Matter posted about the alleged incident, which purportedly took place Wednesday at the Krispy Kreme on South Cobb Drive.

The post said that, "Smyrna police officers have been unable to speak up about this incident due to a strict social media policy which prohibits it." A former officer told Blue Lives Matter about it though, the blog post said.

The image of the box has spread on social media, with many condemning the organization.

Louis Defense, a spokesman for the Smyrna police said that officers were still trying to verify the incident.

“Once we have vetted this issue, I will release a written statement that I will send out,” Defense told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In a statement to the AJC, Krispy Kreme said that they are investigating the alleged incident.

“As a company, we value every customer and are committed to upholding our brand standards and delivering a superior customer experience,” company spokeswoman Sarah Roof was quoted as saying. “We are continuing to investigate the matter and will take whatever steps necessary to ensure the values of our company are upheld.”
