April 2, 201016 yr Too fat to lock up: Bedridden man weighing 43-stone avoids jail for food scam By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 9:57 AM on 02nd April 2010 Comments (56) Add to My Stories A 43-stone man found guilty of scamming restaurants out of food has escaped a jail term - because he is too fat. Morbidly obese George Jolicur ordered huge meals and ate most of them before complaining about the products and sending them back. He would then refuse to pay. In one episode he scammed five free milkshakes from a restaurant after consuming an entire drink before complaining that the milk was off. Morbidly obese: George Jolicur weighs 43 stone and is now so big he is bedridden Jolicur, 38, was finally caught after eating almost £30 worth of jerky in a restaurant before returning the last few pieces, claiming they were mouldy. The shop owner went to police. Jolicur, of Sandford, in Florida, avoided jail because he is so fat the medical costs of imprisoning him would be too great. He is now bedridden and could not even attend court to be sentenced. Prosecutors said it would cost thousands in medical fees just to bring him before a judge. They offered his lawyers a plea deal that in return for avoiding prison he would plead guilty to five charges. Lawyers for Jolicur accepted the deal and he was fined £800. Prosecutor Kyan Ware said: 'He's got his prison cell. He's not getting out of that bed.'

April 2, 201016 yr They should send him to a fat camp, and then to jail. I wonder how much he scammed out of the restaurants, like is it an amount big enough, that he should be jailed for it.
April 2, 201016 yr Author They should send him to a fat camp, and then to jail. I've got a feeling that by the time he was finished at fat camp, he would have already served his full sentence!:P I wonder how much he scammed out of the restaurants, like is it an amount big enough, that he should be jailed for it. Big enough in relation to his bulk, you mean?:rolleyes:
