[Washington Examiner] A woman in Illinois is accused of stealing at least $1.5 million in food, mostly chicken wings, from one of the state's poorest school districts.
Vera Liddell, the former food service director of Harvey School District in a Chicago suburb, allegedly took over 11,000 cases of chicken wings she ordered for the district with school funding, according to a report.
Liddell, 66, began stealing the food during the height of the pandemic, the report noted.
"The food was never brought to the school or provided to the students," court records relating to the incident noted.
Liddell allegedly started her thievery of chicken wings while the district was providing pickup meals during remote student learning, prosecutors said.
