a cautionary tale exposing yet again the stupidity of all too many criminal types, in this case an embezzler/thief who should have heeded one of the oldest maxims in the annals of crime: Never take a day off from work when you’re expecting a shipment of illegally obtained contraband.

But Gilberto Escamilla, a department employee at the Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department in San Benito, Texas, decided to book a medical appointment on Aug. 7, 2017 — the same day that a shipment of 800 pounds of fajitas arrived at the center.

According to reporting by The Brownsville Herald, a kitchen staffer told the delivery driver that the department didn’t serve fajitas. As the article noted, “That’s when the driver said he had been delivering fajitas to the center for nearly a decade.”

District Attorney Luis V. Saenz told the newspaper that after the co-worker informed her supervisor what had happened, the next day Escamilla confessed that he had been ordering, then re-selling, cases of fajitas in a scam that had gone on for the previous nine years!

According to official documents referenced by the newspaper, the fajitas fraud totaled more than $1.25 million.

Those were NOT illegal fajitas. They were simply 'undocumented fajitas'.

But another one that got caught. A Calif eatery that had been buying fried chicken from the local Popeyes Chicken, taking it out of the boxes in secrecy back in their own kitchen and presenting and selling it to their customers as their own fried chicken..at a substantial jack up on prices per entree, but at least they had it listed in public view......somewhere..

Certainly food for thought, though it sounds like they got the first one wrapped up. The second case, however, is a crime most fowl.
