Men steal 26,000 pounds of chicken wings
Remember the rumor about the chicken wing shortage? Ever wonder what Ocean's Eleven would be like if they opted to rob a
Tyson Chicken Wings factory instead of a casino? Wonder no more!
Georgia police arrested Renaldo Jackson and Dewayne Patterson after suspicions that the duo stole over $65,000 worth of chicken wings from a Tyson Chicken storage facility.
The duo somehow made out with over 26,000 pounds of chicken wings at a typical retail price of $12.50 per five-pound package.
A
woman claiming to be Patterson's mother told reporters that she was
surprised by the charges, saying he's a "law-abiding person...I don't
understand that at all."
The duo was charged with one count of of felony theft and released on a bond.
Where do you even store that many pounds of frozen chicken without a reasonably enormous freezer? Were these two planning to sell the goods on some sort of chicken wing black market? Is there even a market for 25,000 pounds of chicken in the Georgia area? A lot of unanswered questions here.
