Bedridden 600-pound Florida man cops to series of food thefts
APRIL 1--Meet George Jolicoeur. The 600-pound Florida man copped yesterday to criminal charges of stealing food from restaurants and convenience stores. The bedridden Jolicoeur was not in a Seminole County courtroom when his lawyer entered a no contest plea on the 38-year-old's behalf to five misdemeanor petty theft counts. The plea deal spared the 5' 11" Jolicoeur--who breathes with the aid of a respirator--a jail term, though he was ordered to pay court costs and restitution. According to investigators, Jolicoeur would con businesses out of food or refunds by claiming that his grub was spoiled, adulterated, or inedible (Jolicoeur's ruse dates back several years and resulted in a prior no contest plea to theft charges). A Seminole County Sheriff's Officer report details an August 2007 incident in which Jolicoeur attempted a refund scam at a 7-Eleven. Jolicoeur, described as having "labored breathing, similar to wheezing," claimed to have purchased $50 worth of beef jerky that turned out to be moldy. When Seminole cop Jeff Sabounji went to Jolicoeur's home to arrest him, the officer reported hearing "what sounded like a male trying to cover his voice as a female. The person said that Jolicoeur was not here." At that point, Sabounji noted, "I could hear a female inside of the residence stating, 'George, just turn yourself in.'" As he was later being transported to jail, Jolicoeur explained to Sabounji, "the beef jerky got me." Jolicoeur was busted again two months later for swindling $50 from a different 7-Eleven store. Masquerading as a fireman, Jolicoeur pretended to have been sold 10 "damaged" containers of Breyers ice cream, according to an Oviedo Police Department report. Not surprisingly, he claimed to have purchased 10 gallons of the frozen confection ...

He can walk into a 7-eleven and steal food but he can't make it to court?

Why is this man being treated as a criminal.? This man needs a good shrink and about 2 years in some kind of institution where his food will be monitored.
This brings to mind a coworker that escaped from Russia and told me that there are no jails in Russia, any conduct that is anti-society is considered a mental illness.
When I seemed a bit put off she pointed out that in America, the rules for housing a criminal have more rights for the prisoner then that of state institutions for the mentally ill and accept corporal punishment. I had to look this up myself as I did not believe her-----She is correct, it really shocked me as to what is legal in a mental hospital that is totally illegal in the prison system.
Off topic, I guess, I just hate to see people who need help to prevent destructive behavior such as his, given a big boot in the butt and a reason to fight for their life, not cave into dispair or fall by the way side.

Probably because he is a thieving, lying son-of-a-bitch. Just because someone has a physical or mental handicap doesn't automatically mean they are a nice person otherwise. He's scum, just very fat scum.

Only human I call in my life time by your words was George Wallice or Abbie Hoffman.
Everyone involved in Watergate, and my most disliked person Hillery Clinton.

There are a LOT of thieving, lying SOBs out there. It seems kind of stupid to single out only a few.

I call 'em as I see 'em. It's just one of my many endearing traits.
