A stop for a pizza proved costly for a Salina man Wednesday night.
Tanner Reed, 31, of Salina, stopped at Casey's, 215 W. Crawford Street, just after 11 p.m. Wednesday to pick up a pizza. He pulled up in front of the doors and left his red 2007 Ford Expedition running while he went inside to get the pizza, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
Witnesses told police that while Reed was inside the store, they saw a Hispanic male run from the west side of the building, jump into the SUV, and take off north on S. Ninth Street at a high rate of speed, Forrester said. The man was described as being in his 20s and wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie with "Cookie" on it.
The SUV has a Kansas license plate of 217PXE and is valued at $6,000, Forrester said.
