Man Accused of Stealing Pizza Pans

[April 05, 2008]  ARDMORE, Okla. (AP) -- Pan pizzas are flying out the door at a local Pizza Hut restaurant. At least the pans are. Ardmore police say workers at the pizzeria arrived for work Thursday and discovered every pizza pan missing from the restaurant.

While workers borrowed pans to prepare pizzas for the day, police checked out a local scrap metal shop and determined one business paid about $17 for 30 aluminum pans.

The sale led police to arrest Jody Wayne Guinn, 34, who was being held Friday at the Carter County Detention Center on complaints of embezzlement and disposing of stolen property.

Police Capt. Tony Trudell said the pans were recovered undamaged and returned to the restaurant.
