On Wednesday, a Washington woman was arrested for scamming businesses out of thousands of dollars through an ongoing fraudulent racial discrimination scheme in which she allegedly would walk into a business, tell staff she was discriminated against, and then claim that management said she was owed money as a result.
Jasmine Latrice Willie, 32, known as the "Chicken Scam Lady," has been booked into Pierce County Jail on charges including multiple counts of theft and organized retail theft. She is being held on a $200,000 bail, according to jail records. Lakewood Police arrested Willie on outstanding warrants, which included four felony warrants and 13 misdemeanor warrants.
Willie allegedly carried out a large-scale scamming effort in which she would stroll into businesses and tell employees that she had spoken with management and was owed a refund, the News Tribune reported. She would then demand that the cashier give her money. The defendant, who is black, would say she was entitled to a refund because she had been discriminated against because of her race, or because she bought a huge batch of chicken for her church and the food was rotten, prosecutors said.

Police said Willie had stolen thousands of dollars by extorting businesses and convincing clerks that she was entitled to payment. She would reportedly look up the manager's name ahead of time and pretend to be on the phone with them in front of other store employees.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
There is big money in fake racism and discrimination claims. However, the retirement benefits can be a bit questionable. This person should spend decades in prison.

Giving her cash back, when she probably buys all her food with Food Stamps, or uses an EBT?
