A former Chick-Fil-A employee was arrested for stealing $80,000 with a mac & cheese scheme at a Texas restaurant, police say.
Keyshun Jones was fired from the store in Grapevine, outside Dallas, last November, but authorities say he would repeatedly slip back in, enter food orders on the register, and refund them to his personal credit card, Fox 4 reported.
Jones was taken into custody on April 17 after allegedly ringing up 800 orders of mac and cheese, according to the outlet.
Investigators began investigating the cheesy fraud after the restaurant reported hundreds of phony refunds.
Security camera footage shows Jones behind the counter carrying out the bogus transactions, prosecutors say.
An arrest warrant was issued on April 6, court records show.
He was finally brought in by Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department.
Jones faces charges of property theft, money laundering and evading arrest.
He faces up to 10 years in state prison, if convicted — where he’ll also be able to order mac & cheese, according to the menus on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
