500-Pound Man Accused Of Fast-Food Scam http://www.local6.com/news/5527928/detail.html 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. Investigators said George Jolicoeur, 33, would visit fast-food businesses and order food. 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. Local 6 News reported that Jolicoeur has been arrested more than 24 times on charges of burglary, drugs and domestic problems, Local 6 News reported. "Jolicoeur's rap sheet is as thick as a book," Local 6 reporter Chris Trenkmann said. "When he was first checked into the jail in 1991, he weighed 360 pounds. This morning, the jail weighed him at 500 pounds." Police in Sanford, Fla., and other cities are investigating the possibility that Jolicoeur was scamming area restaurants, Trenkmann said. He remains in the Seminole County Jail facing several charges.
The reign of terror has finally ended. I wonder how he didn't get away from the cops, seems like he could be pretty elusive...
So did he return without the food and try to get a refund? Sorry, but back in my fast food management days that crap wouldn't have flown. If you want your money back I want the food back...
You would have to be incredibly stupid to believe that the police department and/or the fire department would be hiring 500 pound slobs to work for them. I can't believe he was able to actually get some of these restaurants to fall for this.
Jack in the Box should pick this guy up as their spokesperson. He could team up with the Katrina guy, the Subway guy, and Duffman to do tours around the country.
