HAMILTON -- A judge has sentenced a man to three years in prison for stealing 840 frozen pizzas over three years.

Butler County prosecutors say 47-year-old Steven Proffitt, of Fairfield, pleaded guilty last week in Hamilton to four counts of breaking and entering. Prosecutors say he also pleaded guilty to failure to comply with a police officer's order and falsification. Authorities say Proffitt cut locks off refrigerated trucks at Kraft Foods in Monroe in Southwest Ohio.

They say he loaded hundreds of pies into his pickup truck four times, starting in 2006. Monroe police say they chased Proffitt in his truck after a theft March 21, but he got away after crashing the truck.

They arrested Proffitt a few days later after he reported his truck stolen.
