FORT PIERCE — There are times when having chicken grease on your fingers can work in your favor.

Take an Oct. 13 case in Fort Pierce involving a 26-year-old man.

Fort Pierce police about 7:43 p.m. reported seeing an Infiniti sedan run a red light at North 25th Street and Avenue D, an arrest affidavit states.

Investigators tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver, later identified as a 26-year-old Fort Pierce man, didn’t pull over. The driver slowed, but failed to stop even when investigators activated their sirens.

The driver eventually turned onto Juanita Avenue and while doing so investigators reported seeing him “discarding something through training and experience (that) appeared to be narcotic out of the window,” the affidavit states.

Having non-prescribed narcotics in your vehicle during a law enforcement traffic stop is ill-advised.

The driver pulled in a business in the 2200 block of North 25th Street.

Investigators found a ripped, clear plastic bag where they reported seeing the driver throw something. The bag contained a “green leafy substance.”

The driver said he was tossing chicken bones from the window, as opposed to illegal drugs.

“It should be noted that there was no trace of grease in his fingers/hands,” the affidavit states.

Chicken, particularly fried chicken, tends to leave grease on the digits of those who eat it.

A massively popular advertising campaign of Kentucky Fried Chicken, which sells fried chicken, included the slogan, “Finger lickin’ good.”

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a decades-old fast food eatery found in more than 130 territories and countries. There are two Kentucky Fried Chicken locations each in Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, and 255 statewide, according to the company.

Greasy fingers are not to be confused with “Sticky Fingers,” a classic album released in 1971 by The Rolling Stones that included the single “Brown Sugar.”

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old driver told police he smokes marijuana, yet said the “green leafy substance” did not belong to him.

He was jailed on a charge of fleeing and eluding officers with lights and siren.
