Woman demands free Chick-fil-A after claiming she is an FBI agent, gets arrested

https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/woman-demands-free-chick-fil-a-after-claiming-she-is-an-fbi-agent-gets-arrested/

Authorities arrested a woman in Dallas, Georgia, after she allegedly tried to convince restaurant workers that she was an FBI agent and should get free food. Even when police officers arrived, the woman apparently continued to claim she was a federal agent.

Kimberly George Ragsdale attempted to get free food from a Chick-fil-A by pretending to be an FBI agent, The Polk County Standard Journal reports. Employees were apparently not convinced and called 911 to report the woman.

According to the news outlet, this is not the first time Ragsdale has attempted to get free food and has threatened to arrest employees when they don’t provide the food.

When officers arrived, Ragsdale reportedly continued to claim that she was a federal agent. She allegedly told officers that she had no identification because her credentials were electronic only.

Officers placed Ragsdale in handcuffs and arrested her. She reportedly pretended to talk to a supposed radio in her shirt, reporting that she was being arrested and that the FBI needed to send someone to the Rockmart Police Department.

In a statement obtained by The Polk County Standard Journal, Rockmart Police Chief Randy Turner said, “We are thankful for the observant and professional staff at CFA who knew what to do and gathered the info needed for us to make our case and catch her in the act. We would like to inform our citizens to call 911 if someone is claiming to be an officer if they aren’t in a marked car, or in a proper uniform, or if they don’t have the proper credentials.”

If she wanted free food from them, she should have told them that she is an anti-gay Christian usajumpedtheshark Nov 2020 #5

"We would like to inform our citizens to call 911 if someone is claiming to be an officer if they aren’t in a marked car, or in a proper uniform, or if they don’t have the proper credentials.”

That would have been the entire troop that Barr/trump sent out to gas and taze people.

of course, anyone being insistent on credentials ....
Gets laughed at first -- and slapped with an "interference of official duties" second. Majority of the people are really seeing the need for reform.

Oh my, was she one of the reasons investigators looking into tRUMP's claims against Biden and Obama quickly went nowhere?

Did Bill Barr keep her on the payroll?
