It's Not Delivery, It's...Theft!

One would-be entrepreneur is having a rough start to his week after he unsuccessfully tried to unload over 13 tons of frozen pizzas to a salvage company. Anthony Herbert Lee was hired to transport 3,000 cases of Stouffer's frozen pizzas from Nation Pizza in Schaumburg to Springville, Utah. Along the way, Lee ran into mechanical trouble with his truck and, when it became clear he'd miss his delivery deadline, he tried to sell the pizzas to Rockford-based Transportation Salvage. The salvage company was suspicious and, upon investigation, discovered the pizzas belonged to Nestle, Stouffer's parent company. Indiana State Police were brought in and Lee was arrested. He's currently being held in Lake County Jail thanks to a 10-year-old larceny warrant while new charges are mulled.
