You can't blame the guy for liking his cheese, all 42,000 pounds of it!

 

A stupid citizen from Illinois decided to steal 21 tons of Wisconsin cheese, and flee to New Jersey.

 

 

Apparently the Garden State is in serious need of cheddar.

 

It was quite ironic, however, that the police pulled him over at the Vince Lombardi Service Area off the New Jersey Turnpike.  Vince Lombardi was a hall of fame head coach for the Packers of Green Bay Wisconsin, and the pride of cheese-heads nationwide.

 

State Police couldn't guarantee if the cheese had been tampered with, so the store it which it was stolen from will not accept the returned mozzarella, and will be donated to charity.

 

Update:

Police are currently looking for a connection between our stupid citizen , and a man arrested with $500,000 worth of stolen nachos.
