Office Food a la Florida

A smashed window alerted employees that someone had broken into their workplace, near its kitchen. This did not go uninvestigated: the workplace, after all, is a Boynton Beach, Fla., police substation. It appeared that two meals had been taken from the fridge, and one had been microwaved and eaten at the scene. An investigator found a wallet with Yvelande Jean Pierre’s state issued security officer card. Jean Pierre said she’d lost her wallet and had not gone to Boynton Beach.
