We get this as the unusual late summer heat rolls on:

Authorities in Las Vegas, NM say 31-year-old Paul Trujillo was arrested after he was identified as one of two men who entered a walk-in freezer at a Dairy Queen store and stole 22 boxes of Dilly Bars. Police say the footage shows Trujillo walking up to the freezer following a stakeout. . . Trujillo was charged with felony commercial burglary and misdemeanor larceny.

Is Haagen-Daz next?

Enjoy the holiday weekend.
