Since buying doughnuts for four Escambia County deputies at a Bratt convenience store last August, Tyler has taken his mission on the road, providing doughnuts for law enforcement agencies across the country.
He recently completed a 10-day, 6,000 mile journey using doughnuts to thank law enforcement officers in several states, including officers in Las Vegas shortly after the mass shooting massacre. So far, he’s passed out about 34,000 doughnuts.
