Pizza-craving Kentucky fugitive arrested when he picks up order the same time as sheriff

February 9, 2020 By Michael Hollan

It’s a National Pizza Day miracle.

While on a trip to pick up pizzas for a local archery tournament, a Kentucky sheriff found himself in a unique situation. Apparently, one of the other customers picking up pizza at the same time was a wanted fugitive.

Not to be deterred by his pizza mission, the sheriff took the suspect into custody.

The Letcher County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrest on its Facebook page. Sheriff Mickey Stines was assisted by Whitesburg city officer Jordan Clemons.
