Alleged Pizza Bandit Cops Slices; Now Banned from Convenience Store's 1,700 Locations

A 25-year-old western Iowa man reportedly has been banned from all locations of the Midwest-based convenience store chain – and there are about 1,700 of them in a dozen states.

An employee at the Casey’s General Store at 1850 22nd St. told West Des Moines Police last week that a man from Adair came into the store about 2:30 a.m. March 29, stole two slices of pizza and then “wasted the rest of the whole pizza.”

It’s not clear how he wasted the remainder of the pie, but he has now been banned from all Casey’s locations, Officer Blaine Brinkmeyer reported.

The store’s loss was about $12. The clerk wrote down the license number, which traced back to the Adair man, who has since been barred from all of the chain’s locations in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky.
