Kansas City Chiefs Player Offers to Cover $1.5M Stolen Chicken Wings for Woman's Release

Chris Jones steps in after former school food service director Vera Liddell is sentenced to nine years for theft and fraud.

Vera Liddell, a former food service director, stole $1.5 million worth of chicken wings from a school district during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Liddell used school funds to place unauthorized orders and transported the stolen wings using district vehicles.
An audit revealed the theft when the school district's food budget was exceeded by $300,000 midway through the school year.
Chris Jones, a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, offered to pay the restitution to secure Liddell's release from prison.
Liddell pleaded guilty to theft and operating a criminal enterprise, receiving a nine-year prison sentence.
