Police said they aren't releasing the name of the driver because the topic of toilet paper is "fairly sensitive right now."
"After further investigation, it was determined the 53-foot Hyundai dry-van trailer was reported stolen locally and was being utilized to transport nearly 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products," the Guilford County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
