AVON — Police found $16,000 in stolen electronics in the rental car of a man falsely accused of stealing a $2 pie, said Detective Paul Arnold of the Avon Police Department.

A sales clerk reported that Fernando Ruiz-Huerta stole a $2 pie from Phillips 66 on March 19. Ruiz-Huerta denied stealing the pie when he was pulled over on Interstate 70.

Police followed Ruiz-Huerta back to the gas station, where they learned that Ruiz-Huerta did not steal the pie. However, he didn’t have a driver’s license, Arnold said.

Jose Luis Hernandez, Ruiz-Huerta’s passenger, told police he could drive and gave Arnold a fake California driver’s license and Social Security card, Arnold said.

Police searched the car and found 10 stolen laptops, a video-game system and a digital camera, Arnold said.

The laptops’ manufacturer said they were stolen during burglaries at three Circuit City stores, Arnold said. Surveillance footage showed the men stealing a few of the laptops from a Circuit City in suburban Denver, Arnold said.

Hernandez, an illegal immigrant, was arrested on suspicion of forgery and criminal impersonation, and felony theft charges were pending for both men last week, Arnold said.
