A former Texas Chick-fil-A employee is facing multiple felony charges after he allegedly issued more than $80,000 in fake mac and cheese tray refunds to his personal credit cards after being fired.
Keyshun Jones allegedly started the scheme at a Grapevine location in November 2025 when the restaurant’s owner reported a theft to police, Fox 4 reports. Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators showed Jones, who had been fired about a month earlier, standing unattended behind the counter.
At the register, Jones allegedly created about 800 fake orders for macaroni and cheese trays and then immediately issued refunds for those transactions to his own credit cards. Investigators estimate the total loss exceeded $80,000, according to the outlet.
Following a five-month investigation, officers attempted to locate Jones multiple times, but he allegedly evaded arrest. He was ultimately taken into custody on April 17, 2026, with assistance from the Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department.
Jones now faces several felony charges, including property theft, money laundering and evading arrest.
