Sumpter County, Florida prosecutors declined to charge a Villages Karen arrested and jailed following a perilous June 27th altercation with the kitchen staff of her assisted living facility over the way her chicken was prepared, Villages-News.com reports.
The incident began when Sumter Senior Living resident Karen Elaine Linder, 79, a registered Republican, pulled a total Karen move and got into “a disagreement,” with a staff member “about the type of chicken which she was served and that it was the wrong type.” Karen then followed the female staff member into the kitchen and “pushed her with both of her hands.” Sumpter County Sheriff’s deputies responded, placing Karen in handcuffs and transporting her to the county jail, where she spent the night before being released on her own recognizance the next afternoon. It’s not clear why the Sumpter County District Attorney’s office dropped the charges last week.
