Michael Martin Zaydel (pictured), 21, was placed under arrest on Monday
A Michigan man who said he would turn himself in to police and buy the department donuts if their Facebook post garnered 1,000 shares has kept his promise.
Redford Township Police Department said that Michael Martin Zaydel, 21, surrendered to authorities for several outstanding warrants for his arrest on Monday, according to The New York Post.
A spokesperson from the Redford Township Police Department told Daily Mail Online that a warrant for Zayde’ls arrest was placed for a violation of probation stemming from a drunk driving incident last year.
‘He walked in on his own, and not only did he bring the donuts, he brought one bagel!,’ the department wrote on its Facebook Page.
‘We would again like to express our gratitude for the support of all who followed this, shared it, and left us positive feedback.’
Zaydel, who first issued the challenge more than a week ago, said he would also clean up around the district’s public schools if they met the goal.

A request for comment by Daily Mail Online to the Redford Township Police Department was not immediately returned
By Monday, the post had garnered more than 4,400 shares and racked up hundreds of comments.
‘It is amazing the support we get from the community,’ the department wrote to the social media site following Zaydel’s arrest.
‘He may or may not be a man of his word. It is our experience everyone gets caught at some point.
‘He has drawn a lot of attention to himself,’ the post continues, ‘and that makes it hard to hide from reality. The important thing to be seen here is the support of the community, and the desire to help.’
On October 6, Zaydel, who sometimes goes by the alias Champagne Torino, wrote to the police department that ‘if your next post gets a thousand shares I’ll turn myself in along with a dozen doughnuts.’
Zaydel was held in jail overnight and scheduled to stand before a judge Tuesday
The department eagerly accepted, and reached out to the community for their support.
‘Mr. Champagne Torino has issued the RTPD a challenge. As you can see below, if we can have this post SHARED 1000 times, he will turn himself in to RTPD on his existing warrants, clean up blight on public school property, and bring us a dozen donuts. Donuts!!!!’
‘Help us win this challenge and clean up blght (sic) in Redford at the same time! It’s as easy as a SHARE of this post,’ the department added.
Zaydel was held in jail overnight and is scheduled to stand before a judge at the 17th District Court on Tuesday, according to The Post.
A count of leaving the scene of an accident, and an attempted assault and battery charge were also part of an original indictment but were later dropped as part of a plea, the spokesperson said.
