Charges: Man stole delivery truck because he was ‘running from zombies’

Star Tribune – by Erin Adler

After stealing a newspaper delivery truck from a gas station, an intoxicated Apple Valley man told police that he took it because he was “running from zombies,” according to criminal charges filed this week.

Garrett Howard Hurlbut, 23, was charged with stealing a motor vehicle on Sept. 29. Just after 1 a.m., according to court documents, Hurlbut stole the Star Tribune delivery truck while its driver was dropping off newspapers inside an Apple Valley Kwik Trip on W. 145th St.  

Police found Hurlbut near the truck several blocks away, at 140th Street and Cedar Avenue. He told police that he had “jumped or fell from the truck” and was “running from zombies,” according to the criminal complaint.

According to the complaint, the defendant had “bloodshot, watery eyes and a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath.” He was found to have a blood alcohol level of .198, more than twice the legal limit for driving.

He was taken to the hospital to treat cuts on his head. Police officers heard Hurlbut make several statements about stealing the truck because he was being chased by zombies.

    1. Like I said, the Black Friday shoppers are the REAL zombies.

      Ya think that zombie ammo really works, NC? On zombies, I mean. I know it works on everything else.
      (chuckle, chuckle)

      1. You know, I used to think Zombie ammo was a gag ammo, like some kind of Spencers gift that you would give to play a joke on your friends, but apparently it’s real. So I guess if you aimed it at the forehead of a zombie, it would most likely work. lol

          1. WTF? Pork infused ammo? Oh brother….now I’ve seen everything.

            Well, #1. I guess after shooting these bullets, you can start to watch pigs fly and I’m sure it wouldn’t matter whether they are real pigs or them law enforcement pigs. lol

        1. Seen pigs fly already. Waitin’ on cows to next, NC. LOL

          (knew I could have some fun with this one when I saw it) 😀

          Hey Angel…
