Pickled pig's foot, nibbled sausage found in man's undies


Recommended Posts

A pickled pig's foot and a partially eaten sausage have a number of things in common.

Both are meat, both are edible and both apparently were in a 50-year-old man's underwear.

Jaques Roy Divido on Nov. 13 had the meats in his skivvies at the Indian River County jail where he'd been taken on a retail theft charge, according to a recently released arrest affidavit.

Vero Beach police encountered Divido at a Chevron in the 1600 block of U.S. 1. A clerk said Divido ate part of a pickled sausage and "stuffed" the rest in his pants. The pickled wiener was valued at $1.

Pickling refers to the use of a vinegar or brine solution, in many cases spiced, to preserve or flavor food, such as eggs and asparagus.

The clerk further said Divido put a 24-ounce Yuengling beer -- valued at about twice the amount of the sausage -- in his back pocket. Divido left without paying, though a customer got the beer for the clerk before investigators arrived.

Arrested on a misdemeanor retail theft charge, Divido was taken to jail.
