OBB COUNTY, Ga. - A Cobb County woman was indicted Thursday for allegedly claiming to be a federal law enforcement agent to get a discount for her Chick-fil-A meal.
Tara Marie Solem, of Marietta, faces two felony counts of impersonating an officer, according to court documents.
Police said the incident happened July 5 at the Macland Cross Circle location.
She initially tried to convince a worker at the eaterys drive-through window that that she was a federal agent. It didnt work, so she went inside.
Solem walked up to the counter of the chicken joint, argued with two managers and uttered expletives within earshot of a few children, according to a warrant.
Cops said she then flashed a silver badge in a black wallet to the managers to try to prove she was a federal agent.
She stated that she was undercover and that for them asking her to be in uniform would blow her cover and possible [sic] get her killed, according to the warrant.
Solem called the restaurant chains corporate office to complain and gave the name, Agent Solem.
At some point, she changed her story, saying that she was an agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations; the officer wrote in the warrant that GBI said they had no record of such an agent.
Her next court date was not listed in the countys magistrate court system.
Now she's strictly a cobb woman.
From a PR perspective, Chik-Fil-A is figuratively bullet proof. They have done so well to be consistent with their business model and imaging that their customer base is immune to BS PR stunts. Look at what happened when the liberals went after them a few years ago. The public assaulted franchises across the country to make a statement.
They just stick to their values and real Americans appreciate that.
When she gets out of jail, she needs to get a better fake badge to flash around at Chick-Fil-A.
Personally I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It’s chicken people. Big deal.
Not sure if you are referring to the food or why they have been in the news in recent years.
But they have gained support among many, because the left had targeted them for destruction over the issue of same sex marriage.
Yes it’s just chicken. But they had become a symbol of much more than fast food.
She went through all.of that, just to save a few bucks on a fast food meal???????
All she had to do was ask for the Senior discount. They never ask you to prove it. I got my first senior discount when I was in high school.
Ah yes good old Cobb county
