FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
A patron of a popular fried chicken restaurant called police after finding what they thought was a rodent in their order late Wednesday on the South Side, police said.
About 11:45 p.m., a customer from the Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken and Biscuits in the 5400 block of South Wentworth Avenue called police to report finding something that resembled a rodent or "deep fried rat" in the food, according to Wentworth Area detectives.
"They took it home and realized it wasn't chicken and that it resembled more of a rodent than fowl," said Wentworth Area detectives.
The customer did not ingest the item and no one was sick or injured, police said.
Foul play or product tampering is not suspected and the incident is being investigated as non-criminal, police said. The public health department will be notified.
"I don't think it was a criminal offense," Wentworth Area detectives said.
No one answered the phone at the restaurant early Thursday.

Well, this would be possible if that restaurant hadn't been closed for a while now. Someone didn't fact check their story.
