A woman was arrested in Kearney yesterday morning after a high speed chase. She led the pursuit in a stolen tortilla truck.
Speedy Gonzalez jokes are too obvious. Now that I think about it, are Speedy Gonzalez cartoons allowed to air anymore? I feel like they were deemed too racist.
Anyway, the truck had been stolen from La Mexicana Tortilla Factory Tuesday morning. Of all the vehicles you could steal, why would you pick the big, bulky, square truck that is going to really stand out? Especially since it has La Mexicana Tortillas uniquely written in bold letters on each side. It’s not like you can get lost in a sea of tortilla trucks. David Caruso isn’t going to show up at the scene of the crime, pull off his sun glasses, and tell someone he needs registrations for all the different tortilla trucks in Grand Island, then some other guy saying, “This will be like finding a needle in a haystack.”
According to the report, after troopers spotted the stolen truck, she fled driving recklessly, weaving between lanes, and leaving the road at times. Again, did she think this was some other kind of vehicle, a mustang maybe? It’s a Lego block on wheels.
They caught her and saved the $3,000 in tortillas that were inside. The woman who stole the truck is from Lincoln.
