This next item caught my eye due to its nexus of pure awesome. First, it involved police chasing a Krispy Kreme truck. Second, the guy running from the cops and driving the truck is named Warren G. Whitelightning.

Warren G. Whitelightning. How snarfing cool is that?

Whitelightning was officially charged in Dane County Circuit Court today in a criminal complaint alleging several offenses. He is being charged with shoplifting eight giant red hot pickled sausages from the Open Pantry on University Avenue, stealing the doughnut truck, ramming a University of Wisconsin Police car, attempting to elude pursing officers, operating after revocation, his fourth time drunk driving, and a hit and run.

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.

Gee, is that why this story is funny? Thanks for pointing out the absurdity of the details Mr. Prosecutor. I might have missed that had you not laid it out so clearly.
