According to the arrest report, police were tipped off that a man wearing a sheriff's deputy jacket has stolen a donut earlier in the day from the store and left in a white Ford truck.

Police tracked down the truck at a nearby motel parking lot after looking at surveillance videos from the store, reported 2 KUTV.

Officers were told that the truck belonged to 47-year-old Daniel Mark Wright, who was staying in a room at the motel.

A Lehi police officer wrote in the arrest report, "Officers knocked on the door and made contact with [Wright] as he opened the door and was asked to step outside. A female was also inside of the bedroom and was identified as Christian Olson. While the door was open, I observed the green Salt Lake County Sheriff’s jacket hanging in the entry-way closet."
