Zingers, Twinkies stolen, suspects tracked in snow

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) - It was a Zinger of a theft in Sullivan County.

It also included cupcakes, Twinkies and other snack cakes from the Merita Bread Company.

The Kingsport Times-News cites a report from the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office in reporting 34-year-old James M. Denoon and 18-year-old Anthony Stout were found hiding under a truck at the bakery late Friday night after an employee heard noises coming from a delivery truck.

The deputies found about $300 worth of snack cakes stacked on the ground.

Denoon and Stout were charged with theft under $500 and two counts of auto burglary.

Tracking them wasn't hard. The National Weather Service said Tuesday that by midnight Friday, there was more than an inch of snow on the ground.
