Call it the great crapper caper.
A man was arrested Wednesday morning in Fresno County after authorities said he led them on a pursuit while driving a stolen port-a-potty truck.
Deputies smelled troubled when the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office received calls of a stolen commercial vehicle around 9:30 a.m. in the southern part of the county.
A tracking device inside the truck — a vehicle for United Site Services, a port-a-potty rental company — led authorities to South Avenue and Highway 41, where deputies tried to stop the vehicle. But the driver sped off, spurring a pursuit from both on-the-ground deputies and a sheriff’s helicopter.
