A Maryland woman was arrested for theft Wednesday after allegedly stealing three french fries from a D.C. police officer, police said.
About 9:40 p.m., a D.C. police officer was eating in a restaurant at 1110 U St. NW when a 26-year-old woman approached him and ate one of his french fries, a D.C. police spokesman said. Despite repeated warnings, the woman continued to eat the french fries, police said.
She was arrested for second-degree theft. As a police report explained: “The listed offender appropriated the listed property without the consent of the listed complainant.”
The report also listed the stolen property as “French Fried Potato . . . quantity 3.”

It is a power play.... “I’m takin’ your french fries! What are you goin’ to do about it? Huh??!!”
I remember sitting in the school cafeteria as a high school freshman as an older bigger guy walked by, grabbed a handful of my french fries, crammed them in his mouth and kept walking. I stood up, indignant, but others around me kept saying, “Its just french fries!” Forget it!
Looking back, I should have ignored it. Its not worth getting upset over obnoxious people and their antics.
She probably liked the cop and was making a move on him.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Big Blue Cities are home to more and more crazy people who roam freely and act, well, crazy.
It’s what they had available to charge, but the real issue was the behavior.
Any NFL teams interests in her?
I wonder how many officers it took to bring her in? What a waste of time as they could have just bought her an order of fries and treated it like a compassionate community outreach!-)
Can a cop sign the complaint as both victim and officer ? Would sound a bit prejudiced to me....
“You never see a guy go up to another guy and eat his fries without having them offered first. Huge violation for that.”
It could have been worse than a charge that will probably be dropped.
I remember wrestler Ric Flair talking about breaking in to the business.
He was a rookie on the circuit when he made a trip to Puerto Rico with some established wrestlers.
They went to a restaurant and all sat at one large table.
Dusty Rhodes ordered a large plate of fries to go with his sandwich.
Nelson Royal reached over and took a couple of Rhodes fries.
Another veteran wrestler did the same.
Ric reached across and took a couple of fries.
Never got to eat them.
Couldn’t move his hand because of the fork Dusty had stuck through his hand and into the wooden table.
Everyone just kept eating.
Lesson learned.
Rookies don’t take fries from others plates.
I’ll take Obama’s relative for 500 Alex...
