Man fails at attempt to steal six chicken nuggets from Wendy’s

Despite how many times you’ve seen Oceans Eleven through Thirteen, crime isn’t as easy as you may think. For proof, meet 22 year-old Marquis Marsh. He had the perfect crime…stealing a box of six chicken nuggets (street value: 99 cents) from a Dallas-area Wendy’s. He did not succeed.

Marsh, a homeless man, went into a local Wendy’s over the weekend and, upon realizing he couldn’t pay for the chicken nuggets he so desired, reached over the counter and yanked them away.

The store manager was able to wrest the nuggets away from Marsh but quickly found himself on the receiving end of several punches to the head, which incapacitated him enough for Marsh to escape with the precious nuggets.

Local police caught up with Marsh in the area and, after a police chase, were able to arrest him. Marsh claimed he paid for the nuggets (presumably fists to the face are an accepted form of currency in Dallas…makes sense).

Well, if you’re going to have your illustrious criminal career come to an end, it’s important that you go out on a high note. Some steal giant diamonds or, I dunno, a bank. Others steal delicious breaded bits of chicken that you could have otherwise gotten from 20 minutes of decent panhandling. The heart wants to steal what it wants.
