Doughnut trail leads cops to thief

SLIDELL, Louisiana (Reuters) -- Two people left a 15-mile-long- trail of
doughnuts after they took a Krispy Kreme truck from a parking lot and
fled, police said Thursday.

The truck was parked at a convenience store with its rear doors open and
engine running while a deliveryman carried doughnuts inside, said
Slidell police spokesman Rob Callahan.

Two suspects hopped in the truck and sped off to the nearby town of
Lacombe, with doughnuts spilling out along the way, he said.

They abandoned the truck when they were spotted by police responding to
reports of a dangerous driver who was losing his doughnuts. Passenger
Rose Houk, 31, was captured, but the driver, whose name was not
released, ran away.

Houk told police they had been smoking crack cocaine for several hours
before the incident, which occurred Wednesday, said Callahan.

Their motive for taking the Krispy Kreme truck was unclear.

"I don't know if it was a need for transportation or if they just had
the munchies," he said.
