The real question is how many bags did he end up eating?


According to police in Oklahoma City, 34-year-old Joshua Karpe stole a Doritos delivery truck on the morning of March 21. The delivery driver had pulled up to a gas station and left the vehicle idling as he went inside. That was all Karpe needed as he jumped inside and took off, the Frito Lay employee noticing the truck was across the street in another parking lot. When he approached the stolen vehicle, Karpe took off.

As Karpe led police on a wild yet slow chase, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Garfield County Sheriff’s Office assisted. As the man reportedly smashed into several law enforcement vehicles and the chase continued, backup from Enid police joined in.

Law enforcement tried using spike strips, but Karpe simple swerved around them. They also set up a roadblock, but the man turned the truck in a different direction.

Officers eventually an officer was able to shoot out the front driver’s side tire on the Doritos truck, which requires amazing marksmanship. Karpe was forced to stop, the chase ending just before Enid city limits. Somehow, nobody was hurt during the whole ordeal. There’s no information about how many bags of Doritos Karpe consumed during the chase.

Oklahoma City Police Department Captain Jeff Sprull said he wanted to know why the delivery truck was chosen for a getaway vehicle. After all, it sticks out like a sore thumb, so police had absolutely no trouble finding it, plus it’s not very fast. Those two factors worked against Karpe.

We’re not advising anyone to run from the cops, but if you’re going to do such a thing, finding something that blends in with traffic and is fast is a much better idea than a big delivery truck. Really, you should just not steal cars or break the law otherwise, then you don’t have to worry about police chases.

Karpe is facing three felony assault and battery with a deadly weapon complaints. More charges could be coming, especially since the chase went through 3 different counties.
