Did you hear about the guy who led police on a high-speed chase in Madison, Wisconsin last weekend? It turns out that he stole a Krispy Kreme delivery truck from a convenience store, after shoplifting some pickled sausages. Of all the things to take as your getaway vehicle. Did you know that some of the police cars that were involved in the pursuit didn’t know the truck was stolen? They were only following it because it was carrying doughnuts! And when the back door of the truck flew open during the chase, the cops were presented with a dilemma: continue the chase or stop to pick up the doughnuts that fell out. Since they didn’t have any coffee with them, the cops continued the pursuit and eventually apprehended the suspect.Okay, so I made some of that up. But Assistant District Attorney Michael Verveer conceded that the scene described in the criminal complaint of several squad cars chasing a donut truck around the west side could elicit laughter from many. "Because what you have is two different police agencies chasing the defendant in a stolen Krispy Kreme donut truck with donuts flying out of the back of the truck," he said. (link)
