hatetown Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/bizarre/5638649.html March 21, 2008, 10:13PM Cops in hot pursuit of stolen, speeding doughnut van Associated Press TOLEDO, Iowa — A bevy of officers chased a doughnut delivery van at speeds up to 100 mph before arresting the driver at gunpoint, authorities said. But the cops weren't simply hankering for doughnuts. The van, owned by Donut Delite of Moline, Ill., was stolen early Thursday while the driver was making deliveries at a hospital in nearby Rock Island. The driver had left the van running, and a man jumped in and headed for Iowa, just over the Mississippi River. A Benton County, Iowa, sheriff's deputy spotted the van later in the morning, and eight other officers eventually joined the chase. Authorities finally cornered it in neighboring Tama County. Frank Alvarado, 46, of Moline, Ill., was charged with theft and other counts and was held on $15,000 bail. Security video showed Alvarado milling about before driving off in the van, but he was not listed as a patient, said officials at Trinity Medical Hospital-West in Rock Island. A jail official said he was assigned a public defender, whose name wasn't immediately available. Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera said his officers had no idea what the unmarked van was carrying. They were rewarded for their efforts anyway — the doughnut shop gave them the purloined goodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
