Some bros thought they could get away with $250,000 in fried chicken, but ended up giving us all a great story about how stereotypes are extremely on point.

According to authorities, officers rolled up on the group as they were transferring pallets of poultry from an 18-wheeler in the back parking lot of the Economy Inn in Memphis.

The suspects, as you might imagine, promptly fled the scene. All 13 were eventually caught.

Police recovered three handguns, about $110,000 worth of the stolen poultry, and, for good measure, some cocaine and fentanyl.

We're not sure whether this chicken was meant for the family's Popeyes restaurant, the cookout, or the black market.

Here are the names and charges of these upstanding citizens:

I was disappointed that Samuel Jackson was picked up in that dragnet as well.

Reminds me of this great 1968 song by Otis Redding “Shout Bamalama”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbqY3YJwurs

“Oh Lord have mercy on my soul
How many chickens have I stole
One last night and the night before
I’m going back and try to get ten or ‘leven more”

Ha. Still possible to make the re-boot of the series like they changed The Nutty Professor and the Wizard of Oz to The Wiz.

RE: Oh No! Samuel Jackson was arrested!

Update says Samuel L. used his Capitol One card to charge his bail and his top quality law firm. Said to the guard as he left “What’s in your wallet?”

Guiness World Records:
Samuel L. Jackson holds the Guinness World Record for the most top‑grossing films by an actor, with 45 movies worldwide earning over $100 million, and he is also the highest‑grossing leading actor in box office history.

RE: Where the heck do these parents get these names for their chilrens?

The great blues man Howlin’ Wolf was named Chester Arthur Burnett because his mother really liked President Chester A. Arthur the best among presidents. Bill O’Reilly ranked Arthur among the worst ever in Confronting the Presidents.

Go figure.
