When 33-year-old Johnnie Rupp inherited his grandmother's pizzeria, Mama Locas, in Mt. Carmel, little did he know how much work it would be

| Mark Rupp - The Pizza Pinhead |
Rupp started working at the small pizzeria as a dough roller when he was just 14 years old and was unexpectedly thrust into management upon the death of the Mrs. Norma Rupp last year. He stated that sales were down drastically and the only options he could think of to boost sales were his good looks or selling marijuana out of the back door. Within just a few days, he discovered that the marijuana sales were higher than looks alone. Rupp explained to authorities that the large sales of marijuana increased the Mama Locas traffic and customers would turn around and come back through the front door to order menu items as a result of "The Munchies".
Records indicated that Rupp's plan doubled the sales of their signature item, cinnamon sticks with cream cheese icing. Unfortunately, sales are expected to decline now that Rupp's sister has taken the reigns while he is processed through the criminal court system.
Mr. Rupp is being lodged in the Washington County jail on a felony charge of unlawful delivery of marijuana - which ironically just secured a weekly contract with Mama Locas for pizza catering to prisoners.
