ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Police made an arrest after a two-hour stand-off during which a man was allegedly holed up in his home with two... pizzas.
The Alliance Police Department said John Winkler placed an order with 'East of Chicago' Friday night shortly after 7:00 p.m. He allegedly gave a neighbor's name and address.
When the pizza arrived at the neighbor's door, the family directed the driver to Winkler's home.
According to police, Winker accepted the pies and slammed the door without paying.
Officers positioned themselves outside the home for two-hours until Winker gave up and was taken into custody.
It happened just as police were about to enter the home with a search warrant.
Winkler denied having any pizza, but officers said they found two half-eaten pies underneath a bed.
Winkler was charged with theft and obstructing official business.
