Former Chick-fil-A Employee Charged with $80,000 Theft via Refund Scheme
A former Chick-fil-A employee in Grapevine, Texas, has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies for allegedly stealing over $80,000 through a fraudulent refund scheme. The 23-year-old, identified as Keyshun Jones, was caught on surveillance footage returning to the restaurant after his termination to process unauthorized refunds to his personal credit cards. Jones was fired in October 2025, but the following month, he was seen on camera using the restaurant's register to ring up approximately 800 orders of macaroni and cheese trays, subsequently issuing refunds to his accounts. The franchise owner alerted authorities, leading to Jones's arrest on April 17, 2026, with assistance from the Texas attorney general’s fugitive task force and the Fort Worth Police Department. Jones faces charges including property theft, money laundering, and evading arrest, with bail set at $111,500.
