Chicago woman gets nine-year sentence for stealing $1.5m in chicken wings

An Illinois school worker will spend the next nine years in prison after she stole 11,000 cases of chicken wings worth $1.5 million that were meant for students from July 2020 to February 2022, prosecutors said.

Vera Liddell used her position as the food service director at Harvey School District 152 to carry out the unappetizing crime that was only unearthed after the district realized the school system blew past its budget, prosecutors reportedly said.

Liddell, 68, started the scheme in July 2020 and didn’t stop until February 2022, the Cook County State Attorney’s Office said, according to ABC 7 Chicago. The theft was uncovered during a routine audit when it was found the annual food service costs were $300,000 over budget only halfway through the school year, WGN said.
