Cops Pull Out All Stops To Catch Stolen Doughnut Truck

Local cops were in hot pursuit of breakfast early Saturday morning as a tipsy thief tried but failed to make off with treats from the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Co.

Those "hot doughnuts now" were really hot when Warren G. WhiteLightning, 36, Crandon, climbed behind the wheel of the delivery truck as it sat in the lot of an Open Pantry convenience store at 2216 University Ave. about 3 a.m. Saturday morning.

When the truck driver noticed his truck of goodies was gone, he phoned police, with University of Wisconsin and city of Madison squads in hot pursuit.

WhiteLightning tried to get the cops off his Krispy Kreme tail by stopping on University, backing up and ramming the UW squad car behind the delivery truck, before taking off once again. A second UW squad car took up the chase before Madison officers picked up the trail of doughnut crumbs and joined in.
