MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A Mooresville Police Department K9 has been accused of stealing doughnuts from a teacher's desk at Mooresville High School.
Police said the investigation began when officers noticed a string of disappearances of food items from desks and tables around the facility. Similar reports then came in from Mooresville High School. That's when detectives began an investigation into a possible serial snack and sandwich thief.
The alleged culprit, K9 Bella, was caught "red-pawed" sneaking a doughnut off a teacher's desk, police report.
Police said Bella has been charged with excessive use of olfactory sense and for being overly adorable. She has been sentenced to a minimum of 30 minutes of belly rubs and ear scratches a day.
