Hungry or not, an Illinois man stole a doughnut delivery van and crossed the state lines leaving no other option to Illinois police than to chase and arrest him.

The van was owned by Donut Delite of Moline, Ill. and was stolen early Thursday, while the driver was making deliveries at Trinity Medical Center in Rock Island. The driver had left the engine of the van running and a man jumped in and headed for Iowa, just over the Mississippi River, the Associated Press reports. When he could not find the van, the driver called police who issued an all points bulletin.

The van was spotted later in the morning by a Benton County, Iowa, sheriff’s deputy who alarmed other eight officers and together began to chase the man. Authorities finally cornered the van in Toledo and arrested the driver, 46-year-old Frank Alvarado, of Moline, Ill.

The man is charged with theft, eluding and numerous traffic violence and is held on $15,000 bond. He was also assigned a public defender, whose name wasn’t immediately available, a jail official said, according to the same source.

The officers taking part in the chase were rewarded with the purloined goodies reinforcing this way the stereotype of cops loving their doughnuts.
