An obese Florida man named George Jolicoeur was spared from jail time because he is too fat. The Obese man was arrested for scamming a number of restaurants, but now he doesn't need any alibi to save him from incarceration as prosecutors are now considering to set him free on account of his very obese form.
According to a New York Daily News report, Jolicoeur was arrested in 2007 for scamming several restaurants.
The Orlando Sentinel stated that the obese Florida man was offered a plea deal after prosecutors and authorities discovered that it would be too expensive to send the 600-pound man into prison.
Jolicoeur was reportedly famous for ordering several menus and he would avoid the bill by claiming that the food did not taste good or even complaining about the quality on how it was served. In one account, he was said to have ordered five milk shakes but refused to pay the bill when he complained about finding a hair in his fifth shake.
He was only arrested in 2007, after downing nearly $50 of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven, then claiming that the rest were pretty moldy.
On his way to prison he even said, "The beef jerky got me."
However, after being charged with five counts of felony petty theft, the obese Florida man became ill and bedridden.
As of late, he is residing in a nursing facility, where a respirator is used to sustain his breathe. Because of this, prosecutors anticipated the medical expenses the facility would incur, so they decided to offer a plea deal.
Evil genius.
He built his own prison. Chances are, he’ll never escape.
Too big to jail!
I couldn’t help myself.
Why does this sound like something the TV series “Monk”?
Reminds me of Sylvan Skolnick, aka Cherry Hill Fats, from the Philadelphia area some 40 years ago. It didn’t end well for him.
his heart is failing
At least he is on ground level
I knew a young man that weighed at least 400 or so. He lived in his mother’s basement. One Monday he didn’t wake up
They had to tear out part of a wall to remove his body from the basement.
600 pound man? Scamming restaurants? Too fat to jail?
My solution: House arrest (restaurant arrest) him inside all you can eat buffets. Shoney’s and chinese restaurants are fine. Let him eat all night - all day.
He’ll be dead inside a year.
If you’re fat enough to do the crime then you’re not fat enough to do the time.
Perhaps Chris Krispy Kreme will ask his pal Obama to pardon this loser.
Did Christie move to Florida?
Couldn’t they just put him on a leash and attach it to the front door with a tent set up on the side for shelter?
Good Heavens! He’s almost at the point where no clothing is made in his size anywhere. He’ll need everything tailor made, even under briefs. He didn’t get that big by himself, somebody purchased the food for him.
Dale the Whale.
It does doesn’t it?
Has he signed-up for nobamacare as yet?????
Put him on some pills that will automatically shut his callorie intake down and starve the fat dog, soon he will be a candidate for incarceration.
Where is that thread about the guy with the shakes... he says you can live on them without any food.... he called them Soylent as a pre-emptive joke.
Sentence him to 3 of those a day but one nice meal on Sunday night.
