A 46-year-old guy named Shawn Johnson stole a pickup truck in Beloit, Wisconsin. It's right on the Illinois border. And the reason he picked that specific truck is why it's in the news.
He told police he was on drugs, and decided to try the door . . . because he saw a bag of FRITOS sitting out on the seat.
The truck was open, and the keys were in it. So he took off . . . and presumably ate the bag of Fritos.
He used the truck to drive to a church, where he broke into several other vehicles and stole someone's wallet with $400 inside.
He used a credit card to buy stuff at Walgreens, a Family Dollar store, and a McDonald's. He admitted to everything once police showed him security footage from various cameras that got him on video.
It happened back in June, but the details just came out ahead of his trial. He's facing charges for burglary, identity theft, and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - In 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease for a brewery in Dublin, Ireland at $75-a-month. So Guinness will be in that brewery until the year 10,759 . . . when they can renegotiate.
