A Maryland woman was arrested for theft Wednesday after allegedly stealing three french fries from a D.C. police officer, police said.
About 9:40 p.m., a D.C. police officer was eating in a restaurant at 1110 U St. NW when a 26-year-old woman approached him and ate one of his french fries, a D.C. police spokesman said. Despite repeated warnings, the woman continued to eat the french fries, police said.
She was arrested for second-degree theft. As a police report explained: “The listed offender appropriated the listed property without the consent of the listed complainant.”
The report also listed the stolen property as “French Fried Potato . . . quantity 3.”

Good thing it wasn’t a donut.
It could have been worse. She could have tried to steal the cop’s gun, like the Gentle Giant did.
Pushing the limit is what it was about what can I get away with.
You are absolutely correct. While many will view this as trivial, it is in reality anything but.
Whatever happened to just a good rap on the knuckles with the nightstick?
Ok besides the unwritten rule that men do not talk in restrooms... the other is... DO NOT TAKE A MANS FRIES UNLESS OFFERED. Women take note... he may not say anything but he has marked out in his head how many fries he is going to eat... the whole...” Oh I dont want any fries” at the time of ordering and then knowing full well you are going to eat his. Guys finally get smart and order the largest because you know this game. You never see a guy go up to another guy and eat his fries without having them offered first. Huge violation for that.
I don’t care how you slice it...theft is theft.
They probably sent the SWAT team.
I order large fries because my husband keeps looking to see if I am going to eat all of mine and I end up shoving them over to him to finish off. It appears that men and women are equally weak in lusting for another persons fries.
I would like to see a photo of the perp.
Hungry Homeless, Defiant Lesbian Dem Nazi, or Obama’s relative. This was an in your face harassment move towards the cop.
I would have just given her the dam fries, instead of
arresting her and bringing attention to the entire world
what kind of a hero i am.

Now that she is arrested. She has 3 meals a day. Maybe that is what she wanted.
“woman allegedly sat down next to the officer and tried to start a conversation, an MPD source told WUSA9. The source said she then reached down and took a French fry from him as he was eating. The officer asked the woman to stop, but she took another.”
