Here’s a nugget of wisdom — don’t ever try to steal chicken from a fast-food restaurant.

Marquis Marsh faces robbery charges after allegedly stealing six chicken nuggets from a Wendy’s in Dallas.

According to police reports obtained by the Dallas Morning News, Marsh, a 22-year-old homeless man, walked into the Wendy’s on Greenville Avenue near East Lover’s Lane at around 9:30 pm Sunday, hopped over the counter, grabbed six chicken nuggets, jumped back over the counter, and made a run for it.

The store manager tried to stop Marsh at the door, but Marsh allegedly punched him several times in the head before running out the door, the paper reported.

The manager called 911, and two nearby police officers engaged in a short foot chase before finally arresting Marsh, who was reportedly shouting, “I paid for those nuggets!”

Marsh is currently being held in the Dallas County Jail on $3,500 bail—a bit more than the estimated $1.20 that six nuggets would normally cost.
