This is not a joke. A police officer in Washinton DC has arrested a woman who was at the same restaurant as him, and decided to steal some french fries from his plate.

The officer repeatedly demanded that the woman cease taking the french fries from his plate, and warned her that she was engaging in theft and was risking arrested, but this did not stop her.

She was arrested for the theft of 3 'French Fried Potatoes'. This happened for real - check out the official public incident report here below.
