This seems like an inefficient medium of barter.
13 arrested for $250K chicken heist used for drug debt
Who could be behind such a genius criminal enterprise?
Dey do luv dem sum chickun.
A man was arrested along with 12 other people after the Memphis Safe Task Force said they were executing an arrest warrant for him and caught the group trying to steal $250,000 worth of chicken from a semi-trailer.
Javunte Johnson, 33, was charged with possession of a firearm and theft of property $60,000-$250,000. He is currently held in jail on a $280,000 bond.
On September 15, law enforcement said they were conducting a warrant pick-up on Javunte Johnson for aggravated robbery in the 3800 block of Lamar Avenue.
When they pulled up behind the hotel, they said Johnson, along with 12 other people, was seen unloading stolen pallets of chicken from an 18-wheeler. When the individuals saw the police, they were accused of running away.
However, the task force says they were still able to arrest everyone, including Robert Wilson, who was identified as the driver of the semi-truck.
Wilson told police that he was trading his load to pay off a drug debt that he owed to one of the men who was also arrested. He says he made a deal with the man to take the load as payment for the drugs.
A semi load of chicken is not exactly easy to stash away but then again these fine folks have never been known for thinking ahead before committing a crime.
Along with a Juvante we had a Quantrivious, a Marcellous, a Trashawn and a Devean plus Samuel Jackson (no relation I assume).
I do have to wonder what the truck driver was going to say happened to the missing chicken? Perhaps an elaborate story of being truck jacked by a gang of heavily armed White men who stole his chicken and then yelled “This is MAGA country”. It was a foolproof plan right until the point where they got caught.
Upon being arrested, one suspect, a Samuel Jackson, was overheard saying “I’m sick of these mother fuckin’ po leecee in this mother fuckin’ hood! I’m tryin’ to be the shepherd!”. Authorities also noted that the quarter million dollar load of chicken wasn’t even fried, much to the disappointment of those committing the theft.
This kind of brings to mind a story from back around 2007/08 during the run up to the last economic crisis, which occurred somewhere on the East Coast (might have been Maryland, but I don’t recall now). A tanker truck full of heating oil was stolen while parked, and when it was recovered sometime later, it was completely empty of it’s load. Now, I don’t know where someone stores that much heating oil (a tanker truck in the US has a load capacity between 5500 and 11,600 gallons, depending on type) but I remember reading the story at the time and being simultaneously impressed and amused at such a heist. Almost had to be an inside job, but I never saw any follow up on the story that there were any arrests made.
A local Amish guy that works at a sawmill was smuggling loads of brand new lumber on trucks and selling them to a customer of the mill for cheap and pocketing the cash, he had been doing it for years and when discovered….was not even fired.
It’s crazy that the guy wasn’t shitcanned on the spot.
$250,000 worth of stolen chicken. Chicken that was about to be transported who knows where unrefrigerated in the summertime type temperatures.
Think of how much chicken a truck trailer load is. Where were all the places it was gonna be stored? Some people would have gotten sick eating it then all the powers that be would have screamed bird flu or something nefarious but noooo it’s just joggers jogging in a pack doing jogger stuff.
I went to Sam’s Club and bought a bunch of chicken and meat maybe $100 worth. At checkout I said I need two bags of ice. I went to get them and the ice cooler was totally empty. I told the cashier and she got on the radio to a jogger cause I heard him. He was supposed to bring more ice out from storage. I waited 15 minutes(I turned my stopwatch on). The jogging ice man never jogged out with more ice.
I went to the service desk and asked for a refund for the meat. The lady got all pissy with me and I explained the ice situation. She said they had to throw all the meat out and she tossed it all in the garbage in front of me. Then she gave me the refund.
It’s a daily non stop grind with these people. All he had to do was jog out with two bags of ice.
> all the meat out and she tossed it all in the garbage in front of me.
Sorry you had to deal with that, but that actually makes me think better of Sam’s.
Unless, of course the trash thing was performative and they fished it out of the trash and put it back out for sale after you left.
James Lafond has a story about how cases of spoiled hotdogs kept getting put back out for sale at this Baltimore ghetto supermarket despite the best efforts of the work crew to get rid of them.
Found the story.

I LMFAO when Chimpy the Kenyan and Magic “AIDS” Johnson hammed it up loving chicken and watermelon in year zero of the Chimpcongo Jesus messiah.
Let the fourth world kikeroach turd burn to the ground as the repulic is long gone and never to return.
Thankful to live through the last of superwhite majority as a lil’ shaver and adolescent in the 80s.
Maybe the best place ever. Who was asking for this Tikkun Olam?
“Thankful to live through the last of superwhite majority”. Thank you BDU, me too. I graduated high school in 1983. My class at that school was the largest senior graduating class in the country at that time, there were 764 graduates in my class. A little better than a quarter of them were negros. Things have changed a lot since then. I don’t know how to convey to young White people how great is WAS. I don’t know if I want to. It seems so bleak for our young folks today. I do think back frequently as to how good we had it as opposed to today. Your words just brought back some good memories. I had to tell you that.
