Super User burleytog Posted July 23, 2010 Super User Posted July 23, 2010 Shorewood Police arrest teen suspected of stealing chicken nuggets WITI-TV, SHOREWOOD - Sharing or trading food during school lunchtime is not unheard of, but sharing landed one teenager in police handcuffs. Ava Hernandez got a disturbing voicemail message from the Assistant Principal of Shorewood High School in March. Her 15-year-old brother Adam has been taken into police custody. She says, "It was because his friend had shared a lunch with him and he was accused of stealing was really, I don't know, it was just over the top." Adam was accused of stealing chicken nuggets from a $2.60 meal. Those are the nuggets his friend, Gakaree Garner, gave to him. Garner says, "Although that month I was fasting so I couldn't eat meat, and we had chicken nuggets that day." Garner gave the nuggets to Adam, who got in the lunch line to get some sauce for them. According to Garner and the police report the cafeteria cashier told the Assistant Principal Adam stole the chicken nuggets. The Assistant Principal then told the police officer in the school, who called a squad car. Garner says, "They actually put him in handcuffs, and actually tried to force him into the car." Ava Hernandez says, "They were like, 'Well do you know that friend receives federally free lunch?', and I said, 'I do now.', and they said, 'Well, it's illegal to share a free lunch so either way Adam was breaking the law'." Adam was issued a municipal citation for theft and a $170.00 fine, which he chose to fight in court to keep his record clean. A youth group Urban Underground trumpets Adam's cause, fighting against young people needlessly being put in the judicial system. After garnering media attention the Shorewood Police Chief and High School Principal decided to withdraw the theft charges against Adam Hernandez, thus canceling scheduled court proceedings. http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-100719-chicken-nugget-caper,0,5907552.story Quote

I was guilty of this as well. ;D AFAIK, isn't it illegal to tell anyone other than the lunch lady that a person receives free lunch? Privacy thing, last time I heard. Quote

I would like to know whether RECEIVING a free lunch is illegal. It says SHARING a free lunch is illegal, yet they arrested the person who received the food. How do they even know that he was aware he was receiving a free lunch? And now the school gave away private information regarding a student's participation in a social program.... Quote

Super User grimlin Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 False arrest if you ask me.The lunch lady said he had stolen it....I want to know exactly how that lunch lady knew rather or not that he had paid for it earlier and just forgot the sauce? Because i alway forgot ketchup a lot when i was in school. I would have made sure the lunch lady got fired and that principal resigned from that school. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 Any "adults" that are inclined to complain about kids today should read this thread. Adults are just as stupid. Quote
