PORT ST. LUCIE â€” The St. Lucie County Fire District firefighter who made headlines last year after allegedly absconding with a manâ€™s foot from an Interstate 95 crash scene was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor theft charge, a Florida Highway Patrol spokesman said.

Cindy Economou, who wanted the remains to help train her cadaver dog, eventually resigned after taking Karl Lambert's foot from the Sept. 19 crash scene, officials said.

...

â€œI think the issue here for everyone was unfortunately the value of the foot,â€ Frith said. â€œThis particular bizarre incident involving a body part is not listed in the statute as far as specifying it, so therefore it would relate back to some type of monetary value.â€

Economou, firefighter of the year in 2007, "repeatedly stated" to co-workers, including supervisors, she got permission from a deputy chief to take the foot, but the deputy chief denied it.

Well DUH!

You dip it AFTER the freeze drying otherwise the first time you spill a drink on the thing it soaks up the water and you gots the stinky foot.
