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.

Nope

, they get free food at school and then get food stamps for eats at home. It's funny though, they don't cut food stamps when the kids get free lunches even though they ate elsewhere on the taxpayers dime. Govt should CUT food stamps by the amount of free school lunches the kids get.

So is stealing a federally issued mcnugget a felony?

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:47:44 PM EDT

[#13]

Ok, so eating food that is federally funded is a crime.

1. Then why are local cops enforcing federal law?

2. Isn't the victim of the crime the US Govt, and therefor wouldn't it be up to the US Govt to decide to charge this kid with theft?

Wait a minute, if sharing a federally funded lunch is illegal, shouldn't the person who gave their lucnh away be in cuffs too?

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)

Unless this is one of those States where an Officer has no discretion when it comes to school officals demanding arrest. Oh yeah fuckin a it is his fault. He bought in to the major league retard going on and cuffed a kid over chicken nuggets.

100% agree. No Agency would bother with such BS, however I am sure the school board put preasure on the LEOs to effect an arrest. Politics the liberal way.

This might be a job for the BATFECN. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Explosives and Chicken Nuggets.

Jeeeeesusss....the inmates have taken over the asylum!!

I used to be the Food Service Director for a school district. If I'd have known that all the food, (given to the district by Uncle Sugar), had such proprietary issues attached I would have advocated the hiring of armed guards to watch the garbage dumpster!!

If that first kid hadn't eaten the nuggets....they would have been thrown in the garbage. So the second kid was arrested for eating garbage?

Isn't theft of government property a felony?? That's just nuckin' futz!!!

Federally free lunch is the fucking stupid part. These kids' parents can afford PS3's and X360s, plus all the latest clothes and shoes for their kids while on public assistance....but can't pay for their kid's lunch? BULLSHIT.

The programs of free lunch and breakfast should be done away with IMMEDIATELY.

Regular line officers around the country are in fear of their jobs with lay offs furloughs and pay cuts running rampant. If the Chief is getting muscled into making the arrest happen by the politicians who wrote the law, you bet your bottom dollar the officer is going to follow procedure or he will be in line for that "federal funded meal" too.
