500-Pound Man Accused Of Fast-Food Scam

A 500-pound man in Seminole County, Fla., was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of scamming fast-food restaurants out of large amounts of milk shakes and tacos, according to a Local 6 News report.

Jolicoeur would then call or visit the restaurants posing as a police officer or a firefighter and ask for a refund because there was a hair in his food, according to the report.

"He would come back and say, 'Oh, there is something wrong with it,'" Seminole County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Olson said. "There was a hair in my shake or there was a hair in my tacos. And, then he wants his money back."

Jolicoeur was captured after he went to a Steak N' Shake restaurant near Oviedo and Taco Bell in Central Florida and allegedly tried to get money back for the food he ordered.

...a "shakedown" to me.

He's 500 pounds and he actually fooled some people into believing he was a cop or a fireman???

Here's "My original" Nice Fat Policeman Doll.....

He comes complete with a blue policeman uniform jacket with gold-tone buttons,
(the jacket gaps in front and back to accomodate his fat little tummy);
his trousers are white with a red stripe on each side; and his white police cap has a soft
clear plastic bill and is trimmed with a gold star and braid;
he has the traditional red/white striped legs with side-facing feet;
and his hi-top boots are black velour.
He is made of muslin with stuffed little ears and nose, and fat little cheeks; with big laughing eyes!
He is a joy to behold and has become a family favorite!
His facial features are hand-embroidered.

I'm not asking how this got posted here, but have we sunk so low that we're busting people for scamming burgers?

This story is worse than reality TV.

Who cares? I doubt even the fast-food joints he scammed were fazed by this.

Let's hope he works out during his brief jail stay.
