Hungry driver mistakes police van for pie cart WHANGAREI, New Zealand - A drunken driver who wanted a bite to eat ended up helping police take a bite out of crime. The 21-year-old woman pulled up to a police van on a country road Saturday, apparently thinking the van was selling meat pies, a popular snack food in New Zealand. But the van, which had foot-high "Police" signs painted on its sides, was in fact part of a drunken-driving checkpoint. An officer checked the driver for intoxication and found her breath-alcohol reading well over the legal limit. true story form usatoday.com
