Man Accused of Armed Robbery Arrested After Staying at Crime Scene to Eat Victim's Fried Chicken

Meet James Taylor, a 20-year-old criminal with an insatiable craving for fried chicken. Little did he know that his love for those crispy delights would lead him straight into a potential 20-year stint behind bars.

James was in the middle of robbing some poor sap who happened to be carrying a bag filled with freshly fried chicken. When James demanded all the guy's belongings, including the chicken, believe it or not, the victim actually handed it over without hesitation.

Instead of making a quick getaway with his ill-gotten goodies, James made a life-altering decision. He couldn't resist the temptation of sinking his teeth into that succulent chicken right then and there. Talk about priorities, huh? Well, his impulsive snack break might just cost him a couple of decades of freedom.

Newsful reported that according to officials, the victim parked his car in front of his house on the 4500 block of South Calumet, Chicago. While walking to his home, Taylor ambushed the man, robbing him at gunpoint. The incident took place at 1:30 am on Saturday night (February 18).

Taylor reportedly walked up behind the victim and tapped him on the shoulder when he turned around, Taylor had a gun to his face. The would-be robber then demanded the man hand over his possessions. The man handed over $2 in case, his debit card, keys, and the bag of fried chicken.

Taylor must have been extremely hungry—there's no other way to explain what happened next. Instead of leaving with his plunder right away, the man decided he would stick around. Not only did he choose to stay, he actually got into the victim's car and started eating the fried chicken.

The victim called the police while Taylor was enjoying his stolen fried chicken. The police arrived minutes later, and arrested the thief. There are no details on whether Taylor managed to eat the whole bag, or whether he was surprised when law enforcement turned up.

You really can't even comprehend the stupidity with this one. 

Why the heck would you stay at the scene of a crime in order to eat some fried chicken? Was he afraid of it getting cold? 

There's really no logical reason here...
