Maxwell Hill—A man was
nabbed by police at Barker
School early Monday morning
when he attempted to rob the
school cafeteria. Students were
not at school at the time, so
classes were not disturbed, and
no one was injured.
Arrested was a man known only
as Sloppy Joe. The situation
began when the school janitor
arrived at work. He heard what
sounded like burping coming
from the cafeteria’s kitchen andwent to investigate. He spotted
the intruder and called 911.
When the police got to the scene,
they found the man wolfing
down the school’s most popular
dish, chili surprise. His pockets
were also stuffed full of frozen
fish fingers.
Sloppy Joe was arrested and
charged with trespassing on
school grounds and attempting
to be a glutton. The school
principal says that he will beef
up security in the cafeteria area.
