A hungry 5-year-old Florida boy craving Chick-fil-A snuck out of his home one morning this summer to walk to the popular fast-food restaurant by himself, prompting a visit from the police while he munched on his food.

The boy, identified as William, was seen eating a breakfast sandwich in a booth next to a Chick-fil-A manager when deputies from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office showed up.

“Are you going to take me to jail?” he asked the officers, according to bodycam footage.

“I know he knows how to get to Chick-fil-A because we walk there,” she said. “I never would’ve expected him to come down here on his own in the morning before anyone else in the house was up.”

The boy’s father, identified as Phil, said his son “had an adventure.”

“I was worried about him—was he scared, was he crying, was he upset? He was quiet, which was unusual for him,” the dad said. “I think it did shake him up some, so I don’t really think we needed to impress too much that he shouldn’t do it again.”

“I think he understood that it was serious, but we did talk about it,” he added.
