A man on an apparent beer run led Santa Rosa police on a chase Thursday morning after allegedly stealing a delivery truck filled with beer.The delivery driver was inside a liquor store and in the process of dropping off an order of Coors Light beer when a customer informed him of the disaster unfolding in the parking lot: A man wearing American flag shorts had just jumped into the truck and drove away with the beer.While it's unclear whether this type of crime happens often, it seems the trucks are prepared for this type of emergency. A GPS tracking system onboard the truck located the vehicle "within minutes," drawing officers with the Santa Rosa Police Department, Henry-1 (a helicopter unit with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department) and even a K-9 officer to the scene, according to a SRPD news release.The truck was abandoned, and law-abiding (and presumably beer-loving) citizens reported seeing the suspect running from the scene, "wearing nothing but the red, white and blue shorts," the police department noted.The man was caught hiding in the bushes within in an hour after the incident first started, police said.The suspect was identified as transient Matt L. Hermsmeyer, 46. He was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, priors for auto theft and violation of his probation.---Story by SFGate writer Dianne de Guzman
