Man Arrested After Stealing Truck Filled With $30,000 Worth Of Ice Cream
There’s never a bad time for ice cream. It can be freezing cold and ice cream will still sound good. Hence, I scream for it. You scream for it. He’s even stealing for it! A Connecticut man has been arrested after stealing a truck filled with $30,000 worth of ice cream.
That’s not your average ice cream truck! So much ice cream to go along with the thief’s icy heart. There’s more to the story.
Man Arrested After Stealing Truck Filled With $30,000 Worth Of Ice Cream
Travis Jones, 35, has now been arrested for stealing the truck filled with $30,000 worth of ice cream. According to WFSB, the West Haven Police Department received a call reporting a stolen ice cream truck on Boston Post Road. Reports say the victim was delivering ice cream when the truck was stolen from a parking lot and it had nearly $30,000 worth of product inside.
WFSB reports that police said, “Several officers responded to the area to canvass for the ice cream truck. An officer on duty coordinated with troopers from the Connecticut State Police, who located the stolen ice cream truck traveling on I-95 south in Milford.”
The team of officers were able to safely get the driver of the stolen ice cream truck to pull over and stop at an exit ramp. That’s when Jones was identified as the suspect behind the stolen vehicle. He was taken into police custody without incident, per WFSB.
Jones has been charged with larceny of a motor vehicle and first-degree larceny.

5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
