Key Points:
- Keyshun Jones, a former Chick-fil-A employee in Grapevine, Texas, allegedly ran fraudulent refunds on Black Friday after being fired in October, targeting about 800 trays of macaroni and cheese and causing approximately $80,000 in losses.
- Surveillance footage showed Jones processing bogus refunds alone at a touchscreen register, while another person in a restaurant uniform was present in the dining area.
- Jones was arrested on April 17 by a multiagency fugitive task force after evading officers multiple times and is currently held on charges including property theft, money laundering, and evading arrest.
- Chick-fil-A is cooperating with the investigation but has not disclosed details about Jones' termination or franchise ownership; if convicted, Jones could face up to 10 years in state prison.
