Chicken Wings Heist: Hilarious Reactions after School Worker is Jailed Nine Years for Stealing $1.5 Million Worth of Chicken Wings

School Worker Jailed for Stealing $1.5 Million Worth of Chicken Wings

In a shocking case of fraud and theft, a school worker in Illinois has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for stealing over $1.5 million worth of chicken wings.

Vera Liddell, the former food service director at a school district near Chicago, carried out the elaborate scheme over the course of two years, from July 2020 to 2022.

News about Vera’s chicken wings heist has sparked hilarious reactions on social media.

Stealing from Students During Pandemic

According to Sky News, Liddell took advantage of the school district’s remote learning program during the pandemic, which was providing meal kits to students studying from home.

She used a school cargo van to regularly pick up large orders of chicken wings from a food service supplier, but the wings never made it to the students.

Surveillance footage reportedly captured Liddell using a school cargo van to collect the orders from Gordon Food Service. The footage showed her loading the stolen food, which was never delivered to the school or distributed to students. This evidence played a crucial role in the prosecution’s case.

Discovered During Budget Review

The theft was only discovered when a business manager at the school district noticed that food costs were $300,000 over budget during a routine audit. Liddell was originally charged with theft and operating a criminal enterprise, but ended up pleading guilty and being sentenced to 9 years in prison.

Social Media Erupts with Reactions

The case has generated significant attention on social media, with many users expressing hilarious reactions. Netizens poked fun at Vera for stealing chicken wings.

Social media users questioned what she did with the chicken wings, whether she ate them or she resold them.

Here are some of the reactions;
