Well, here's a story that feels tailor-made for our website.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a real thing that happened. A Chicago man in the process of a robbery stopped long enough to eat his victim's fried chicken and the police caught him with his hand in the chicken bucket.
To be fair, it is SO hard not to eat fried chicken while it's laid out on a platter for you.
Officials said the victim, 35, parked in front of his home in the 4500 block of South Calumet around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and started to head toward his residence with his piping hot yardbird.
Taylor interrupted him to ask for a light, but the victim said he didn't have one and kept walking.
Taylor then tapped the man on the shoulder. When the victim turned around, Taylor was pointing a pistol at his face, prosecutor Kenneth Flesch said. The victim handed over his keys, $2 in cash, a debit card, and the fried chicken.
Taylor, according to Flesch, climbed into the victim's car and went to work on the chicken while the victim dialed 911. Police arrested Taylor a few minutes later.
He got in the car and didn't even drive away to enjoy the delicious meal somewhere, anywhere else. He's just chilling, chomping down when the cops rolled up.
He is charged with armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and illegal possession of a debit card.
