A town in Massachusetts is looking for a man who is allegedly going to door-to-door and trying to sell meat from his van. While authorities have said there’s currently no evidence of anything "nefarious" going on, they’re still asking residents to report any sightings of this mystery meat man.
The Westfield Detective Bureau posted photos of the meat man on its Facebook page. In the images, the unidentified individual can be seen approaching a house’s door at around 2:30 in the afternoon.
His van, which is supposedly full of meat, is parked nearby on the street. Aside from an American flag printed on the side, it doesn’t have any other visible markings.
According to WWLP, a resident said that the man made him the following offer: "Hey man, how are you doing? Quick question, sorry to bother ya, I just finished up my, my deliveries for the day in Westfield, I got some extra orders. Want any steak half price? I got like filets, strips, like 4 for $5 a cut."
On Facebook, the Westfield Detective Bureau wrote, "The department has been made aware that an individual in a white van with a USA flag on the side has been in various neighborhoods, knocking on random people's doors, trying to sell discounted meat. He is not registered with the city or this department to do so."
The post continues, "By all accounts, it appears as though he is literally selling discounted meat and there does not appear to be anything nefarious going on at this time."

LOL — That was my first thought also.
A few years ago I was at a gas station on the outskirts of a metro area refueling my car when some guy who looked like a character straight out of Deliverance pulled up on the other side of the fuel pumps in an old Chevrolet pickup truck and a freezer in the bed. He walks towards me and says hey buddy....”I’ve got some steaks real cheap, wanna buy some?”
I said no thanks and finished up and got out of there.
How weird is that? I wouldn’t have bought what he was selling for nothing. Strange.
What’s he got in that van, a meat Lab?
No thanks. I’d be concerned about two things:
A. I might get sick from meat that was no longer fresh.
B. The meat has been stolen from whoever this guy works for.
I’m sure they only want to talk to him to ascertain his vaccination status.
What is that screen cap from?
Only it was poultry.
Pouched deer or moose probably.
C: The meat may be someone I know.
“Why, it’s leftovers-to-be...”
I just use Hamburger Helper and nothin else.tree
Tastes just fine to me...
We live in close to Plano, Texas. For a while, every summer we would have a pickup trucks with a household freezer in the back stop and want to sell us meat out of the freezer. For some reason I couldn’t persuade myself to buy some other than getting salmonella, staphylococcus and E. coli from spoiled meat.
It’s not the meat the LEOs are concerned about. It’s the American flag on the van. He’ll get life for that, if they catch him.
To the Mass authorities.
Greetings.
I found the meat. It has not been beaten or experienced a higher temperature.
Some of the meat looks old, and laying flacid in the trunk.
You will find your meat at 2400 Highland Ave in Needham.
Be careful how you handle your meat.

You just can’t let roadkill go to waste.
Just a Traveler scam artist. Next week he’ll be sealing driveways, and the week after that he’ll be spraying stuff on roofs. They’ve been doing this for decades.
