Get out of jail free: because you're too fat.
A 600-pound Florida man, arrested for scamming restaurants in 2007, was offered a plea deal when prosecutors discovered it was too expensive to incarcerate him, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
George Jolicoeur, 38, is infamous for ordering food and then complaining about the quality and refusing to pay after he eats it.
The obese thief once devoured five milk shakes before finding a hair in the shake and refusing to pay.
Jolicoeur was arrested in 2007 after downing nearly $50 of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven, then claiming the last few scraps were moldy.
Police tracked him down at home and arrested him.
"The beef jerky got me," Jolicoeur said on his way to prison.
After Jolicoeur was charged with five counts of felony petty theft, he became ill and bedridden. He now resides in a nursing facility and relies on a respirator to breathe.
After prosecutors discovered that the state would have to foot the bill for Jolicoeur's medical care they offered a plea deal.
"He's in his prison cell," said Assistant State Attorney Kyan Ware. "He's not getting out of that bed."
I'm pretty sure we are through medicaid or some similar program. Just not through the prison system.
He should go on a meth diet, those pounds will melt right away!
His heart couldn't stand that, probably working quadruple overtime as it is. I try not to wish ill will on anyone. IMO overeating is a mental illness, stealing it was just a way to get what he wanted. Getting caught might just have saved his life....maybe.
Doesn’t “jolie coeur” mean “pretty heart” in French? Can’t imagine his is too pretty at that weight.
FatBoy personified. Disgusting.
Actually, he was probably right about 7-Eleven having moldy jerky.
Sentence him to jail and have him work in the kitchen so he’ll know what it takes to prepare food for jerks.
Bet that bedridden and on a respirator is just an excuse. Wave a Big Mac from across the room and watch how fast he jumps up.
...and don’t skimp on the pate’.
Probably fry chicken in what’s on the bottom of his bath tub.
The women in my office think long and hard about going down the stairs
They have to come back up again
“But monsieur, it is wafer thin.”
Can’t believe he’s made it to 38.
When did Gerald Nadler shave his head?

Well, “jolie” is also the root of the english word “jolly”, which is a euphemism for fat...
