10/31/11 -- Wacky News

“Police in Ross Township have arrested a man after they said he stole a sandwich from a restaurant and then tried to flee in a forklift parked nearby. Police said Sean Faulkner ordered food from Sieb’s Pub on Babcock Boulevard and ran out the door without paying Sunday. Employee Karie Donatelli told Channel 4 Action News’ Ari Hait that Faulkner ‘just was very weird. We were very leery of him.’ Witnesses told investigators Faulkner then tried to leave in a forklift parked in a nearby lot, police said. ‘The forklift doesn’t travel fast, so I don’t know that he was able to make a speedy escape,” said Detecive Brian Kohlhepp.” w/ photo + video
