It’s common for people to leave a job and start a competing business. It’s just usually one they OWN . . .
A former employee broke into a Little Caesars in Kinston, North Carolina the other night and started selling pizzas. (Kinston is roughly halfway between Raleigh and Wilmington.)
Cops say 41-year-old Jonathon Hackett got in after they closed for the night, opened the place back up, started selling pies, and pocketed the money. No word on how many pizzas he sold, or what he charged.
He got caught when he tried it a second time on Sunday and showed up too early. Employees were still there and got into a FIGHT with him.
They tried to stop him from breaking in, and it turned into a brawl. His injuries were bad enough that cops took him to a hospital first, then to jail. In his mugshot, you can see his right eye swollen shut.
He’s facing three felony charges for breaking and entering, larceny, and obtaining property by false pretenses.
There was also a curfew in effect because the area got over a foot of snow last weekend. So they tacked on a misdemeanor for that. (Here’s his mugshot.)
