According to press reports, Vera Liddell, formerly Food Service Director for Harvey School District, in Illinois misappropriated 11,000 cases of chicken wings and other products valued at close to $1.5 million. Apparently, Liddell ordered chicken during the COVID period claiming that the product was for take-home meals. The scam was detected during a mid-year audit that revealed a deficiency in the budget initiating an investigation. Liddell has entered a guilty plea and faces up to nine years in prison.
