A Chicago man is facing a slew of felony charges after allegedly robbing a man at gunpoint and then staying at the scene to eat the victim’s takeout fried chicken.

Chicago police arrived at the robbery scene within minutes and allegedly found James Taylor, 20, still there, enjoying the victim’s delicious fried chicken.

Officials said the victim, 35, parked in front of his home in the 4500 block of South Calumet around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and started to head toward his residence with his piping hot yardbird.

When the victim turned around, Taylor was pointing a pistol at his face, prosecutor Kenneth Flesch said. The victim handed over his keys, $2 in cash, a debit card, and the fried chicken.

Taylor, according to Flesch, climbed into the victim’s car and went to work on the chicken while the victim dialed 911. Police arrested Taylor a few minutes later.

He is charged with armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and illegal possession of a debit card.

Judge Ankur Srivastava ordered Taylor to pay a $15,000 bail deposit to go home on electronic monitoring.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Let's defund the police and provide mental health care and nutritional counseling to the offender.

Hope he likes bologna sandwiches too. He’s going to be eating a lot of those from now on.

Well, he had lonely days when he could not find a friend.

It’s out of season.

Remember the old joke:

“How do they get the water into a watermelon?”

“They plant it in the spring.”
