A school worker, Vera Liddell, in the south suburbs of Illinois, has confessed to stealing $1.5 million in food, mostly chicken wings, from schools in Illinois. She was initially charged over a year ago, according to WGN Chicago.
Liddell was the director of the food service for the Harvey School District 152. Cook County prosecutors allege she stole large portions of food intended for take-home meals for students learning from home during the pandemic.
The Cook County State’s Attorney informed WGN Investigates that Liddell pleaded guilty on Friday and received nine years behind bars. Court records indicate she ordered over
“11,000 cases of chicken wings from the school district’s food”
supplier and picked them up using a
“district cargo van,”
stealing food supplied for students during the pandemic. She was caught amid a “routine mid-year audit.”
