A 272kg man accused of stealing food and scamming restaurants has been unable to face his charges in court because he is too sick and fat.
George Jolicoeur, 38, remained in a bed in his nursing home while his lawyer pleaded no contest to five petty theft charges in an Orlando court in the US state of Texas, the Palm Beach Post reports.
The offences were all committed in 2007, when a more mobile Jolicoeur on five occasions walked into a restaurant or food store and claimed he had been sold substandard food.
On each of the occasions, Jolicoeur demanded large refunds from the store.
The court heard Jolicoeur was eventually arrested after he marched into a 7-Eleven store and claimed he had bought $50 in beef jerky that turned out to be mouldy.
According to court documents, Jolicoeur told his arresting officer: "The beef jerky got me."
Jolicoeur has been convicted of similar scams in the past, including one in 2005 where he claimed to have found hair in six milkshakes.
Defence attorney James D. Phillips Jr. told the judge his client now required a respirator to breathe and was too ill to attend a court hearing.
Jolicoeur’s medical condition was not specified but the court heard his health was unlikely to improve.
He was spared a jail term but ordered to pay almost $1500 in legal costs and unspecified damages.

If he can steal food from 7-eleven, then he can go to court!!
So, not the guy in Las Vegas heh? :o)
No, George Jolicoeur is from Orlando, TX.
The Texas reference is incorrect, it’s Florida.

No wonder they got it wrong. Lack of geographic knowledge.
I found a hair in my six milkshakes once.
"I wash mahself with a rag on a stick."
Whoa!
So if it were really moldy, then what'd he do with it? He wouldn't have eaten it? He'd be an idiot for throwing it out.
IMO, if someone claims that they got bad food from somewhere, they need to produce it for a refund, because you know they didn't eat it. And for them to say they *threw it out* doesn't wash either because then there's no proof that it was bad or even purchased. It's just their word on it and people lie way to much for free stuff.
<libtard> Give the guy a break. It isn't as if he could get a job or anything like that!</libtard>
Gotta love his last name, though. It’s the first time I’ve heard it:
Joliecoeur: literally, “beautiful heart,” or more appropriately, “handsome heart.”
I’m sure his is lined by a crunchy layer of cholesterol plaque.
Wonder what song helps a 600lb man maintain cadence?
“Jolicoeur’s medical condition was not specified “
Pizza the Hutt syndrome.
Nope, apparently not the gigantic primitive from Skins's island, the Las Vegas Leviathan.
I saw someone bring back some chocolate with tiny live worms/maggots in it.
