Dewayne Patterson and Renaldo Jackson were arrested for stealing $65,000 worth of chicken wings in Gwinnett County, Ga. (Gwinnett County Police)
It was going to be one heck of a Superbowl party.
A pair of workers at a frozen food distribution center outside of Atlanta, Ga., made off with $65,000 worth of frozen chicken wings earlier this month, according to cops in Gwinnet County.
Dewayne Patterson and Renaldo Jackson, who both worked at the Nordic Distribution Center, allegedly backed a rental truck up to the back of the loading area at the center and loaded 10 pallets of Tyson frozen chicken wings onto the truck. The pair then made off with the poultry, but were seen by management, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.
Investigators at the Gwinnet County police department arrested Patterson, 35, and Jackson, 26, a week later, on Jan. 23.
They each face felony theft charges.
Police did not yet know the status of the wings.

In other news, 1,000 gallons of honey mustard dipping sauce was reported missing today- the police suspect fowl play.

Some stories require no explanation. This was one of them.

Police did not yet know the status of the wings. ___________ No one will EVER see those wings again, now that the plot was foiled! No ransom, no wings!

They darn well know the status of them wings, they are all being redistributed to the locals for Super Bowl Sunday. You think they are going to get rid of them tainted wings! LOL

What the Hootie and the Blowfish did they think they were going to do with 10 pallets of frozen chicken wings??? Were they going to give them away or sell them on the black market???? And how were they going to keep them all frozen??? Obviously they didn’t think it all the way thru!!!
