Have you ever seen a police department this giddy about a bust?
THE DAD WHO WROTE THAT POST:
Slidell PD realized the steaks had been braised when the two men stopped for a broken tail light were "acting unusually nervous."
Was it the flashing lights? No. Were there drugs in the car? Also, no. Their anxiety stemmed from something else entirely . . . a good old-fashioned beef heist.
You read that right.
The guys were sitting on an absolutely mind-blowing amount of meat:
Slidell Police Department
Here were the two mastermind criminals:
Slidell Police Department
Evidently, the duo boosted "approximately $1,500 worth of USDA ribeye steaks and slabs of beef brisket."
Instead of firing up the grill, both suspects, identified as 55-year-old John Garriga (Gulfport, MS) and 66-year-old Charles Walker (Biloxi, MS), ended up behind bars on felony theft and possession of stolen property charges.
They also reportedly possess "shoplifting records longer than a CVS receipt," according to police, so they're not due to get out anytime soon.
(Somehow I'm doubting they serve ribeye in county prison!)
Slidell PD concluded with this:
This evidence impound room smells!
Like BBQ!.....................
If it was stolen chicken, their prison nicknames should be “white meat” and “dark meat”. Instead they’ll be called “rump roast”.
I guess most here are familiar with the giant “stolen” speakers (or whatever is current) for sale cheap, as they pull up to you in the parking lot, or the “my truck driver buddy noticed these steaks weren’t on the list” so they are cheap scams, it looks like these steaks were actually stolen goods.
I’ve lived in Slidell. WUT?
Not real far from here.................
And various other locations in the vicinity. 😂👍
Beef prices are so high, we’ll be getting black market beef. Hot beef, I guess.
Indeed.
In Louisiana, counties are called parishes.
Your honor somebody ate the evidence. We have to drop the charges.
I worked in Baton Rouge with a Ron from Slidell.
One day our supervisor put out a memo about being frugal.
Ron said all he knew about being frugal is this.
One day dis boy and dis girl day were walking down tru de woods.
And de girl she slipped and fell into this deep dark hole.
And she hollered up to her boy friend, “Frugal me, Frugal me”.
And he jumped down in that pit and frugaled her.
And day lived happily ever after.
How come the black guy has a nice name like Charles Walker? Why not De’Shaun Keonte or something like that?
I think I know Ron. 😂👍
>> Louisiana police bust “unusually nervous” men with carload of stolen ribeye, brisket
>> A red meat allergy from tick bites is spreading
Unrelated! Nothing to see here... move along, now...
😂
Meanwhile the police chief announced plans for a weekend barbecue at Officer Dave’s house.
His parents weren’t morons.................
