Speaker 2 (02:41):
Let's get into today's crime related content and We're going
to start off in Louisiana and a Tickfall man is
now being charged with murder after shooting in a car,
hitting and killing a seventeen year old pregnant girl during
a road rage incident. Caitlyn Straight, seventeen of Ponchitula, died
(03:05):
just two days after that incident. Straight, who was a
passenger in a Ford expedition in the Pontchitula area. When
that incident occurred, Barry West, who was fifty four of Tickfall,
was driving a Dodge truck.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
In the same directions.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The two cars were tailgating and break checking each other
before West fired his gun, hitting Straight, who was in
the passenger seat. The driver of the car realized Straight
was shot and called nine one one before driving to
the hospital. Straight was pregnant and miraculously the baby was
delivered via C section and is doing well in NICU.
(03:46):
Deputy said West believed the occupants of the car in
front of him shot at him first, but evidence confirmed
no other shots were fired in that incident and no
weapon was found.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
In the car the victim was traveling in.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
West charges had been upgraded to include one count of
second degree murder. The remaining charges include three counts of
attempted second degree murder, one count each of the legal
use of a weapon, and obstruction of justice. A passenger
in the vehicle with straight said that Barry West drove
up behind them in that pickup truck and the two
(04:22):
vehicles started tailgating and break checking each other, and that's
when West shot one round into THATUV.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I guess we must have been break checking him or something.
The guy was in road rage. He crashed into the
back of their car and then began shooting. When Caitlin
looked back to see what happened, she got shot in
the head.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
What you know, this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, and that
man should be ashamed of himself. That baby started out
life without a mama over a road regency.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm sure he's yeah, I mean, he definitely should be
a shamed as he's a piece of fuck. If you
ask me, uh, you know, the road rage stuff is
really gotten.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Out of hand, really gotten out of hand.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
And look, let me tell you something, if you're on
the other side of that, just be cognizant even if
somebody's being an asshole man, even if they're out there,
you know, riding your bumper and doing all kinds of
stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You never know what people have in that vehicle.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And I've been on the side of that where I've
kind of almost lost my caol with someone that's tailgating
me or doing something stupid. But it's not worth your
life ever, It's not worth your life. Just just let
them buy.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
How are you taking it that personal? And I'm not
above it.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I mean, I've gotten pissed off at drivers too, but like,
how is it that personal? I guess maybe I'm getting older.
I'm just like look at people and laugh out.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I'm like, you're an idiot, and I.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Just try to go about my business. But it's because
of people like this.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
My sister she drives a BMW and I don't know why,
but something about that car it pisses other people off.
I guess because she was just driving down the interstate
and this guy was running up on her rear end
and stuff, and she's like, what the hell, So she
threw up a bird because she got, you know, aggravated.
After a while, the dude pulls up next to her,
pulls a gun out and sticks it while they're driving
down the interstate and points it at her going down
(06:14):
the interstate, and she was like, whoa dude, Come on,
you know people are nuts.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You can't handle a little, a little vehicular interaction.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You don't need to be carrying a gun.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well yeah, and you know, you just never know who
you're dealing with. You never know who's in that other vehicle.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's just better just killed a pregnant I hope you're proud.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I hope when you go to prison and they're asking.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Me, he's gonna he's running his life.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, end of her life, and you've destroyed your own.
I hope it was worth it that that thirty second interaction.
It's just disgusting and there's no I don't know, there's
nothing else to say about it.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Like are you serious? Yeah, like really that's what we're
doing now?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well it's it's uh, it's a prime example of one
quick witted.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Mistake, and you can lease your life on both ends
of it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
This guy's ruined his life because he got pissed off
and lost his shit for twenty seconds, however long it was.
I don't know who this guy was. I don't know
if this was at a character for him, or if
he was just a total asshole life. But you know,
two better people. This has happening way too often these days,
do way better.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
How about that? All right, let's go to Iowa.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
We're still going to be dealing with a vehicle here,
but a woman in Iowa faces multiple charges after asking
gas station customers to blow into her interlock device. Officers
with the North Liberty Police Department were dispatched on July
the fourth to a quick Star where there was a
report of a woman asking people to blow into her
interlock device for her. Police found thirty four year old
(07:51):
Kristen State sitting in the driver's seat of a running
vehicle when they arrived at the scene. According to a
criminal complaint, State was the only one in the car.
Officer made contact with State and noticed a strong smell
of alcohol. Police also said that State had watery and
bloodshot eyes and slurred and delayed speech. State told them
that she hadn't been drinking. The officers asked State to
perform some standardized field sobriety tests. According to the criminal complaint,
(08:15):
she failed two of those tests and showed signs of
impairment during the ones she completed. Testings revealed that State's
blood alcohol content was point three five one.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
That's crazy, that's insane.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
State is charged with operating while under the influence, driving
while license is denied or revoked, and tampering or circumventing
with an ignition interlock device. State has had three prior
operating while under the influence convictions within the last twelve years.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
A couple things crazy about that article right there. Number one,
three point five to one alcohol level.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't know how you're not dead.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Point three to five one.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah that, I don't know how you're not dead.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Uh, you know, I've had people talk to me off
of you know, sometimes they'll have officers intentionally get drunk
when they're training and they're going through these DWI procedures,
and they've had guys sit down that look, they they
drink a lot, and they get sit down and they
drink twelve beers and basically shotgun these twelve beers. There's
(09:18):
still not three point five to one whatever, they're still
not that. That's crazy. That's almost dead. That's almost dead.
If you're four, you're dead. In most cases.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
She obviously is an alcoholic. We can start there. But yeah, one,
this woman though this isn't The numbers aside are crazy.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
But three dwi's now in twelve years and twelve years,
and you're gonna you're averaging one at what every four
I'm not good at math, but yes, you're gonna kill people.
You may kill yourself, but you're gonna kill somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's just a master.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The percentage goes up every time. And you know, in
this case, she didn't even have the right to be driving.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean, she couldn't even start her own car.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, which those of you that may don't know what
an interlock device is.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You have to breathe in it, and if you have
any alcohol in your system, your car won't start. But
imagine being at the grocery store or the gas station
or whatever, and this woman walks up and says, we
bliek we you breathe them by What kind.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Of freaking idiot would do that? That's what you got
to ask yourself. Thank god, nobody did.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Well and they reported it, which is excellent because it
got her off the street. Because I'm right, I mean,
and I hate I feel like sometimes I sound like
such a stickler, you know, like, but damn, I mean,
if you're just gonna be pounding drinks like that and
you can't handle it. Fine, there's uber like damn.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, there's all these options.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Oh stupid, this is This is stupidity.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And I hope that a judge looks at this and goes,
all right, bitch, how about we just lock you up
for a while, and then you can't get on the street.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
But the question is how did she get there?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I know she drove there drumming, But how did she
do that?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
If you can't start your car without some he blew
on it exactly. That's my point. Somebody somewhere was dumb
enough to blow on it for this lady to get
her to the gas station, or or she shotgun the drinks.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That or she started the car and it idled. Think
about it. She could have started that car and let
it idle because she knew she was going to be
drinking and she'd be going somewhere.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Could of Yeah, I mean it is possible.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Think like an idiot. I mean, you're willing to get
multiple d w i's you're gonna do, dumb ship.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Just let it run and then went out and let
it run while you were in the ball room.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, really really, But I don't condone that and don't
do that. But if I was a I know this
is this is why God.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Didn't make me the brightest one, because if I was
able to be a judge, people would just they would
cringe when they walked into my courtroom because I would
be like, you're done. This is something that if we
don't stop it, nothing's going to If nothing changes, nothing changes,
you put it interlock device in. At this point, I
think that these laws should continue to compound, which they
(12:03):
I believe they do.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But I'm saying that we.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Need technology is hicked a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
We need to do some serious time for this. I agree,
some serious time.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I had heard somewhere that the first defense was a misdemeanor.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
It is that's crazy, it is, asked me because the
guy who drove his drunk ass into my house with
a truck and could have killed my family, it's a misdemeanor.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, that's crazy. It should never be. It should be
a felony.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
First ten thousand dollars in property damage and he's got
a misdemeanor.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Nuts.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Now you know why I'm so angry about that. You
shouldn't have given me that story. Now I'm going to
be pissed off.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
The rest of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Sorry film, Sorry, We'll go to Massachasis and we're going
to talk about a former US Postal inspector who oversaw
the fraud department for the US Postal Service. Well, he's
been charged with stealing more than three hundred and thirty
thousand dollars from packages mailed by victims, in using the

We agree. If other people say say caramel, I was
gonna slap.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You, well, that wouldn't be wrong. That's probably the correct paramel.
Whatever Carmel.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Then the New Orleans the school's Mount Carmel.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Let's get back to the stories. But the people have
been waiting, all right, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The US Postal Inspection Service is the law enforcement arm
of the Postal Service, and from twenty fifteen to twenty
twenty two, Kelly worked as a team leader for its
Mail for aug unit, which investigates scams of the very
people he targeted. He also worked as a team leader
of the Mail Theft unit from June of twenty twenty
two to August of twenty twenty three. Kelly allegedly sent
(16:27):
deceitful emails to unwitting postal employees between twenty nineteen and
twenty twenty three, telling them to intercept packages that were
determined to have been sent by victims of a Jamaican scam.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The targeted Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The scammers claim the victims need to spend money to
get a lottery or sweepstakes winning. Kelly told postal investigators
to send the packages.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Directly to him.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Postal workers were authorized to intercept the packages flagged as
likely to have been sent by victims of a scam,
but weren't allowed to open them without the sender's consent.
If it was opened, the postal worker was required to
count the cash with another worker present and mail the sender.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
A check for that amount. Yeah, I hold your breath
on that one.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Kelly is believed to have requested nineteen hundred and fifty
fifty packages be sent to him, stealing the cash inside.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And this is just sad. The oldest alleged victim was
eighty two.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The victims mailed between fourteen hundred dollars and nineteen thousand,
one hundred each to the scammers. Kelly allegedly met with
one of the victims, falsely telling that victim that a
package wasn't found and that their loss was their own
fault because they had mailed cash. None of the victims
were covered the packages or their cash. He is also
(17:48):
accused of using the key of another postal inspector who
was a direct report to him, stealing seven thousand dollars
from an evidence locker, and blaming the employee for the
theft of cold.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Bruh, that's cold.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Kelly laundered nearly three hundred and forty thousand dollars in
cash by buying postal money orders and hiding the fact
that he was a purchaser and paye, spreading out more
than sixty bank deposits through four bank accounts at two banks.
He faces up to twenty years in prison for each
each offense. Now let me just say this, Uh, he
(18:25):
was obviously pretty good at planning, and he got away
with it for a while. And I mean all the
way down to separate banks, buying money orders, all.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Of that cash.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Why didn't you just spend the cash?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I mean, that's a lot of cash have on you.
I guess he didn't want to get charged with something
and half cash on it.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
But you made a record there wouldn't have been I'm
not trying to be a criminal here, but like you
made a record where there wouldn't have been one.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I can't. I don't know, I don't have I don't
think like him.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Criminal Jim.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
The point of the story is, Look, scams are a
big fricking deal.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
So let me tell you this.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
People do do this dumb show.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Oh absolutely, So I met a guy allegedly not allegedly,
he actually did prison time who Unfortunately, when you when
you're in the fraud business or in the business of
detecting fraud, obviously that's going to alert you to how
the fraud is done.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah. So I had a friend and how they follow
up on it.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah, so I'm gonna say friend loosely. I mean we're
not good friends or anything. But anyway, he did time
in prison. Well, one day, after some drinking, I'm like, bro,
I gotta know I went to prison like this is
you know some it had to be blue collar.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You are not a thug. And he was like, yeah,
I kind of messed up.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
So he was a manager at a bank and he
figured out looking through I guess through the fraud or
this type of detection type stuff, accounts that have been
opened for over so many years. The money, if no
one collects it gets turned over to the government. Well,
after working at the bank, Solong, He's like, well, hell,
why would we give the money to the government. I'll
take the money, that's fine, And so he started closing
(19:55):
out these really really old accounts and pocketing the cash.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I think he might have been telling you a little
Lori Johnson, I know you're listening to I'm gonna need
you to confirm. I think I don't think the government
could give that money.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
No, really, after so many years, I think it's.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Just unclaimed money they just hold onto until somebody came, you.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Know, Okay, lor Johnson, Vice president Hancock Quinney Bank let
us know, because I know you're listening to this to shield.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Lesson because we got a letter from a bank, because.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
He might have been telling you that.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
So it didn't look so bad, bro, you did he
did time in the federal pen.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, but he don't want you think he'd steal from.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
All right, I'm calling him that, Lourie.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Maybe right, You just don't that seems kind of sus
to me.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
There's there's been a trend of me being right here Leland.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yes, that, well, we'll we'll find out one.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Here's one that we can't agree on, then all right, O,
case we can agree on and it's in Tennessee. A
dismembered leg dredged from a Tennessee creek on the fourth
of July was positively identified as belonging to an alleged
sexual predator and one of the county's most wanted criminals.
Police announced the decomposing appendage was determined to be part
of Joseph Frank Benton, who had been missing since he
(21:10):
was slapped with forty charges for unlawful possession of dozens
of weapons, explosives, and sexual exploitation of a miner in
twenty twenty four. After more than a year on the lamb.
He's also facing extra charges for violating his probation. The
body part was fished out of the Sulfur Fork Creek,
a seventeen mile tributary that runs between Kentucky and Tennessee.
(21:31):
The creek is in Robertson County, in just six minutes
outside of Springfield, where Benton's last address was listed before
skimping out in his probation, Benton was at the heart
of a two decade cold case concerning one of his
son's old flames, who briefly lived with a family in Tennessee.
The girl, twenty two year old Jennifer Wicks, and her
two year old daughter, Adriana, both disappeared on March twenty fifth,
(21:54):
two thousand and four, while living with the Bentons. No
bodies were ever recovered, and Benton's son, Joey he told
authorities he simply dropped the pair off at a gas
station and watched them leave in a white car. Wicks
reportedly called her mother the day she disappeared and sobbed
about an argument that she had had with one of
the Bentons. She was planning on moving out, her cousin said,
(22:14):
and this was around the time that she went missing too.
The elder Boston was last captured, sporting a wiry, out
of controlled beard, bearing a strong resemblance to a nightmarish
Santa Claus. That's creepy to some followers of the notorious
cold case suggested that Benton might have severed his own
leg to throw authorities off his trail. For this one,
(22:35):
I will make an exception. The creep probably severed his
own legs so he could continue to evade justice. And
if not, and he is dead, well at least his
family will get the closure that the Wicks family has
never been given. I have no sympathy for those who
could not offer sympathy and decency to the family of
such a young mother and her child. That was one
Facebook user and what they theorized.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'm not buying that the dig cut his own leg
off either. I mean, to you know, cutting the fingers
off is one thing.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
You had a major artery, it's running through your Yeah,
I mean, I'm no doctor, but hacking off your own
leg to a void now you're even more obvious out
in the public.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You're missing the damn leg.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, it's people, you know, people get caught up, all right,
let's go to France.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Let's go to front. If you don't know why we
did that, go back a few episodes.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
You'll see, all right, a woman and this is no
laughing matter. Actually.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
A woman claimed she woke up to a man trying
to rape her in a Paris hotel after an airline
booked her into a room.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
With two strangers. Let me tell you this story.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
The unnamed thirty year old from Brazil said the arrangement
was made by TAP Air Portugal after their flight from
Paris to Lisbon was canceled. The man was also a
passenger on the canceled flight, and they ended up in
a triple room did to the shortage of singles. After
taking their seats on the plane, passengers were reportedly told
(24:02):
to disembark and visit the Tap kiosk here reservation vouchers
for hotel rooms could be collected, but single rooms were limited,
and the woman claimed she was told by the airline
she would have to spend the night in the hotel
with two other passengers. She said quote, I refused demanding
a room just for myself, but I was told this
(24:23):
was not an option. Either I had to accept or
pay out of my own pocket, something that was unfeasible
for me. Here in Paris, a German woman and Brazilian
man were apparently booked into the room alongside her. The
Brazilian woman, who worked as a consultant, continued during the night,
the German woman left the room and I was woken
(24:44):
up with a naked man on top of me, kissing
my neck, holding me down and trying to rape me. Luckily,
I managed to defend myself, screamed, and he left the room.
Still the scars of the episode remained. She claims to
have contacted TAP after the traumatic ordeal, but has received
no response. However, she did receive guidance on how to
(25:06):
access the services of the Portuguese Victims Support Association. A
lawsuit has been reportedly filed against the airline I would
imagine so for more harassment and negligence, and the woman
is seeking legal and psychological support in Brazil. She has
also filed a police report about the sexual incident. Unbelievable
(25:28):
and why does that really happen that they would put
you in a word? I mean, obviously it does, but
that is crazy. Who would do that?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Is that common there or something that it must be
because I.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Don't ever remember hearing a story in the United States
about I mean, people miss flights and they give them
hotel vouchers, but well, flights are delayed, but they don't
put them with strangers.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Like hell, I would be in a real really and
you can give me a voucher for a bunch of
coffee us.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
As a real pretty girl.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Oh my god, I'm over there.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I want y'all. I joke.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm away on the floor, and I might be like,
I want some some powdered doughnuts and a keychain and
some other shit because I'm not going in a room
with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Hey, that makes me think of something.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
One time, a girl though, no, not even another girl
should know.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
I trust no one. I don't even trust you. One time,
my mom was working.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
She would have to travel out of town and they
would stay obviously these hotels to do these seminars, and
so they gave her her room key and she was
staying with her best friend. They both worked together, so
they were staying together in a room, separate beds. Well,
my mama takes the key, goes into the room, and
she goes and she drops the stuff down on the
bed and then her her friend's name is Debbie. They
kind of looked at each other and they were like,
(26:44):
what the hell, And they walked over and opened the
bathroom door and there was a man in the shower.
They had put them in a room with a person
that was already.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
In there, and they left, obviously.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But I've had something similar happen.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
No way, I've walked in a room one time with
a key that they gave me and it was someone
else's room. They weren't in there, but their luggage and
stuff was all sitting there, and you could tell me, yeah,
I think this was in like when we went to
Disney World one year or something, and there was even
like bags of shopping stuff, and I'm like, I don't
(27:20):
think this is the right room. Sure enough, they had
messed up and gave us a copy, a key copy
to the wrong room.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Like what if it was in the middle of the
night and you were asleep I walked in, Yeah, oh
my god, you might see something you don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Might or something I do want to see.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
God, lock your doors, people, gims out.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm telling you all right, look Florida, Okay, now, this
this place actually always scared me speaking of scary shit,
but chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You ever been.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Read the story? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you
what I know about Jack.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Newly released bodycam fo shows the arrest of a man
dressed in a Chucky Cheese mascot costume in Florida. The man,
who who was identified as Jurmel J. Jones, was working
his shift at the restaurant on Wednesday, July twenty third,
when the officers rushed into the building and took him
into custody. In the video released by the Tallahassee Police Department,
(28:19):
officers can be seen struggling to handcuff Jones, at first
telling him to stop resisting, before grabbing his arms and
pulling them behind his back. Come with me, Chucky, one
of the officers can be heard saying as they lead
as they led him out of the restaurant into the
parking lot. After patting him down and taking off the mascotthead,
the officer tells Jones he's accused of some fraud stuff
with a credit card, to which.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Jones denies prost The charges fraud stuff with a credit.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Card, to which Jones denies using anyone else's card and
insists he only uses his own cash app. He later
admitted to officers that he sometimes used a cousin's card,
identifying her only as Key. That was the name Key Key.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Maybe it's short for la Keishaan or something, all right.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
This came after a woman approached officers at the scene
and allegedly provided video evidence identifying Jones as the person
who made fraudulent purchases with her child support debit card.
She told police she last used the card on June
twenty eighth, during her child's birthday party at the restaurant.
Police found the woman's debit card in Jones's pocket during
the arrest.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
My god, dude.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from a nearby store, along
with transaction logs that allegedly showed he had used the
card in multiple locations. Jones was charged with three felonies,
theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal identification information,
and fraudulent use of a credit card over two times
within six months. We have taken the appropriate action concerning
the subject employee, a spokesperson for Chuck E. Chiese said,
(29:42):
and Jones was booked and released the next morning on
a one thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Wow, wild story. You ever been to Chuck E Chee.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I haven't.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
It would scare the shit out of you whenever that
thing with the guitar would lean forward in his head.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Oh my god, trauma.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Uh the audio animatronic.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, that's they should call it trauma because that was scary.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, I've also been there. And here's something you don't
know about me. Not only have I been there, I
worked there.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Of course you did.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Not only did I work there. I was sixteen and
I was Chucky Cheese.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Oh my god, I am in the room with the
mask Cheese.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's right, And look I got You want to know
how I got fired.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Because it ain't easy being cheese.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
They got fired from Chucky Cheese. Why did you get fired?
So that was a fun job, y'all, It really was.
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'd go out there in the little costume for birthday
parties and stuff. I was sixteen years old. And one
of the things that people don't realize if you've ever
been to Disney World or something like that, if you
notice when you go up to the characters, they cover
their mouth a lot. And the reason they do that
it's cute. It looks like they look surprised, but that's
not why they do it. They do it because that's
(30:49):
how they see out. There's a netting where their mouth is,
and that's how you see in front of you. So
they cover it because if you get close enough, you
can see someone's face behind that. Well, I would do
that when the kids would come up. One time, I
forgot to do that at a party, and so this
kid came up and his kids looking, and I can
(31:12):
see he sees me, and so I throw my hand
up to cover my mouth and he.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Says, you ain't no real chuck e cheese. That's exactly
how he said it.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
And I can't talk back and say yes, So I'm
just like shaking my head and I'm trying to distract
him and do a dance or something. He's like, you
ain't no real chuck e cheese. He said there like
three times, and he kicked me in the nuts. No
kidding hard. This was like, look, this wasn't a birthday
party with a six year old. This dude was like twelve,
(31:42):
Like what are you doing at chuck e cheese?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Anyway? Grow up?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So he's running around he's telling on for he ain't
no real, chuck E Chee kick me in the nuts.
And so I leaned down because you know it hurt.
And as I leaned down, I said, no, shit, kid.
Now I was only sixteen at the time. Well, this
kid turns around. This is a middle of a party.
(32:07):
Everything's loud, everybody's hooting and hollering, and he says, Chucky
Cheese just said shit, and the whole party stopped. I
mean it was like you could hear a pin drop
and everybody's looking at Chucky Cheese. I eat me And
I just looked at him and said, he lying, My god.
(32:27):
I went took my Chucky Cheese costume off.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And left and never ever went back, never wore That
was my last day.
Speaker 3 (32:33):

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Chucky Cheese. I think that you've made a Chucky gee.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You've tainted the cheese suit because everyone's in trouble.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, yeah, this sucker got hot though. Man what well yeah,
I mean not really stink, but you would.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
We would, Uh there was some stuff you'd spray on
it when every day when you took the suit off,
and it was like this decontamination stuff. Yeah, there was
like four suits, so it wasn't like someone came right
behind you and put the soup back on ye and
it was all nasty. I mean it was cleaned every day,
but I mean, you know, it's sweaty up in there. God,
