According to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s office [PDF], the 56-year-old man and his 33-year-old offspring would then peddle the stolen wings on the street to line their own pockets.
Allegedly, the duo would place a bunch of chicken wing orders with the wholesaler the restaurant dealt with. Then they’d go pick up the wings and resell them on the cheap to undercut their employer. The police say the men billed about $41,000 worth of wing orders to the restaurant’s account between February 2015 and November 21.
They’ve both been charged with grand larceny and falsifying business records. If convicted, they’ll earn themselves a spot in the Meat-Stealing Hall Of Infamy.
