A former Chick-fil-A employee in North Texas is accused of stealing more than $80,000 by processing 800 fake macaroni and cheese tray refunds to himself, authorities said.
According to Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office online booking records, Keyshun Darnell Jones was arrested on April 18. He was charged with several felonies, including property theft between $30,000 and $50,000, money laundering between $30,000 and $50,000, and evading arrest, records show.
According to the Grapevine Police Department, an investigation was opened in November 2025 after a Chick-fil-A franchise owner in the city, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth multiplex, reported a theft.
While detectives reviewed surveillance footage, they identified Jones, a former employee who had been fired about a month before the thefts were discovered, KFDW reported.

— FOX 4 NEWS (@FOX4) April 29, 2026 Police said the footage showed Jones unattended behind a counter at the fast-food restaurant without authorization, where he allegedly used a cash register to ring up approximately 800 orders of macaroni and cheese, according to the television station.
Jones then allegedly refunded the orders to his personal credit cards, police said.
It was unclear whether there were other Chick-fil-A employees in the restaurant or what time Jones allegedly rang up the bogus transactions and refunds.
It was also unclear how long it took Jones to allegedly process the transactions.
According to police, Jones evaded arrest several times before authorities located him and took him into custody on April 17, KXAS reported.

Ah, the old mac & cheese scam. A classic.
Does AI manage the place ? LOL
Cheese it! The cops!
“Jones then allegedly refunded the orders to his personal credit cards, police said.”
Should have been easy to figure out who did it!
someone please make a movie out of this
Must have been some great mac and cheese at $100 a pop.
The credit card companies should now go after him for fraud.
Almost as good as the old chicken-and-steak airline miles scam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Work#:~:text=Charlie%20deduces%20that%20the%20Gang,money%20from%20the%20delivery%20company.
I was wondering how much their Mac and Cheese costs; in my area, it’s about $5.69 a serving.
What’s the difference between a red state and blue state?
In a blue state you don’t have to be smarter that a fifth grade Somali to run a scam because the gubmint is target rich for scams.
In a red state you got to be a little higher up the food chaing because you to have rely on scamming private business.
I could buy 50,000 boxes of Kraft for that much!
Just as a casujal observer -
It seems to me that a scam of this obvious nature and somplicity should have been caught before the total amount scammed got anywhere near $80,000.
Well, at least they still have Sunday off.
“Fired Chick-fil-A employee accused of taking $80K in scheme involving macaroni and cheese”. He forgot the ketchup for his mac’n cheese.
Especially since most modern cash registers require the cashier to keypunch in or swipe in, showing exactly who was processing each transaction.
A country boy can survive. LOL
