Woman Poses As FBI Agent To Get Free Chick-Fil-A Meals: Police
Rockmart Police said they arrested a Dallas woman who claimed to be an FBI agent so she could get free meals at a Chick-fil-A.
ROCKMART, GA — A Dallas, Georgia, woman was jailed over the weekend for threatening to arrest Chick-fil-A workers if they didn’t give her a free meal because, well, she was an FBI agent.
No, she wasn’t, said local authorities.
Kimberly Ragsdale, 47, was charged with impersonating a police officer after repeated attempts to scam a meal out of an area Chick-fil-A, according to the Rockmart Police as reported by the Associated Press and other news organizations.

Chick-fil-A workers told police that Ragsdale would arrive in a white minivan, identify herself as an FBI agent, demand a free meal and then threaten to arrest them if they didn’t serve her.
Rather than saying “my pleasure,” restaurant workers finally called the cops on Ragsdale.

When Rockmart police handcuffed Ragsdale Thursday in the Chick-fil-A parking lot, she pretended to call for backup by talking “into her shirt like she was talking into a radio,” according to the arrest report.
She was released from the Polk County Jail Saturday on $3,000 bail, according to online records.
