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."
Doesn't look like a picky eater.
Hmmm, he scams restaurants and he weighs 600 pounds. I think I see the problem.
Me? I'm not going to eat a cake with a hair on it.
When having your picture taken breaks you out in a sweat.....you might want to consider a change in your eating habits.
Wait... there’s a CINNAMON Bobka!
Real Sweetheart,
Wow, he ate the pie, the pie pan, the fork, the coffee and it’s cup, and has anyone seen the waiter lately?
:: “He’s in his prison cell,” said Assistant State Attorney Kyan Ware. “He’s not getting out of that bed.” ::
And that “prison cell” weighs 600+ pounds and is made of human flesh.
Get in my belly!
I knew a guy back in college who would break out in a sweat just walking to class...
Feed him nothing but multi vitamins and romaine lettuce for the next two years. I’d bet he will be able to walk out under his own power at the end of his sentence...
Dudes’ got a facebook account. favorite athelete is Vince McMahon. lol
That’s the body trying to tell you something, problem is, most don’t know ow to listen.
Let me guess, he stole somebody’s Sweat Roll.
Dale the whale.
Seems the gluten imprisoned himself.
I heard he got a flesh eating disease. The doctors gave him 99 years to live.
Seems like the smart route - he pretty much put himself under an early death sentence...no reason for us to foot the bill for his medical issues.
Just brand “Thief” on his forehead and let it be known that he has to pay in advance.
