With a name like Warren G Whitelightning, you are always going to stand out. But if you are accused of stealing giant sausages, hijacking a doughnut truck, ramming a police car and leaving a trail of sugary treats in your wake, that will work too. Unbelievably, the two sentences above apply to one single man, Mr Whitelightning. He has been charged with a number of offences, including leading police on a high speed chase while driving a van crammed with doughnuts. Mr Whitelightning is alleged to have stolen eight giant red hot pickled sausages from a shop in Madison, Wisconsin while drunk.
According to police, he then stole a Krispy Kreme doughnut truck and went on the run. As police gave chase, hundreds of doughnuts fell off the back of the truck on to the streets. The chase was caught on camera by a police car in pursuit. Go to the 3min mark in the video to see the chase.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Verveer said some may find the episode funny 'because what you have is two different police agencies chasing the defendant in a stolen Krispy Kreme doughnut truck with doughnuts flying out of the back of the truck'. The doughnut truck reached speeds of up to 80mph (138kph) during the chase. At one point it seemed to come to a halt, but was then reversed and rammed into a police car, resulting in neck and back injuries to an officer. The truck almost overturned but the chase ended when the defendant allegedly got out and lay on the ground in a car park. If found guilty of all charges, Mr Whitelightning could face almost ten years in prison.
