A Chick-fil-A worker got fired and then showed up behind the register to allegedly refund himself over $80,000 in mac and cheese

When most people get fired from a job, they pick up and move on. For Keyshun Jones, he allegedly went back for seconds. The 23-year-old former Chick-fil-A employee in Grapevine, Texas, has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies after allegedly stealing more than $80,000 from a franchise location using a fraudulent refund scheme, and authorities say it was all caught on camera. Jones was fired from the Dallas-suburb location in October 2025. But the following month, detectives reviewed surveillance footage and found Jones behind the counter without authorization. There, prosecutors allege, Jones began using the restaurant’s register to ring up roughly 800 orders of macaroni and cheese trays, all before he issued refunds to his personal credit cards. Authorities have not said how Jones was able to access the register after his termination—for which no reason was provided in court records explaining why he was let go. The franchise owner alerted detectives on Nov. 29, directing them to the CCTV footage, identifying the man as Jones, and explaining he had his direct deposit set up through Navy Federal Credit Union prior to his firing. A spokesperson from Chick-Fil-A told Fortune the company was cooperating with authorities in the investigation. Grapevine Police did not respond to Fortune’s requests for comment. Public records show Jones was charged with property theft, money laundering, and evading arrest. According to public records, Jones is being held on $50,000 bail apiece for charges of money laundering and property theft. He is also being held on $5,000 each for evading arrest and fraud, an additional $1,500 for property theft, bringing the total he is held on bond to $111,500. A warrant was issued for Jones’s arrest on April 6. He evaded authorities multiple times before being taken into custody on April 17, 2026, with assistance from the Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department.
