Florida Pizzaman Steals Puppy During Delivery

Pizza deliveryman and part-time puppy bandit. A Florida man has been accused of stealing a puppy while dropping off a Grubhub order.

WJAX reports that Arlinson Chilito, 22, was arrested on suspicion of grand theft for allegedly stealing a 10-month-old poodle named Lexi from a Jacksonville Beach home last Saturday.

“It was terrible. I mean, it was just terrible,” the dog’s owner told News4Jax. “She’s happy to be home.”

Block said his wife had ordered a pizza through the delivery app Grubhub from the restaurant Gusto, when the delivery man arrived he dropped off the pizza and nabbed the poodle, and placed her in the delivery bag. He then left the building and went home. Luckily police located him and returned the pooch.

Grubhub says that Arlinson was not even a contracted driver and was using somebody else’s account.

“We are shocked and appalled by this behavior, and there is absolutely no tolerance for it on Grubhub. We confirmed the individual charged with this crime was not a Grubhub driver and has never been contracted with us. He was using another contracted driver’s account without Grubhub’s permission or knowledge, which is a fraudulent misuse of our platform. We banned the driver permanently from our platform and support efforts to prosecute both individuals to the full extent of the law. We run rigorous background and motor vehicle checks before contracting with any driver and are committed to continuously reviewing and evolving our practices to prevent fraud and ensure safety for the Grubhub community, .rubhub said,
