Chicago pizzeria hit with burglary despite going cashless
George's Deep Dish owner George Bumbaris joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss how crime has impacted his ability to do business in the Windy City.
Chicago police officers who were executing a search warrant reportedly discovered a man who works as a violence interrupter naked under a bed with cash, drugs, and a gun in the home.
Jerel Taylor, 30, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, possession of heroin and possession of a controlled substance after police raided an apartment in the Humboldt Park area of Chicago and found a loaded pistol on the kitchen window ledge along with bags of suspected crack cocaine, according to CWB Chicago.
Taylor was reportedly hiding under the bed and police saw his feet sticking out from beneath the bed after a woman told them there was no on in the house.
Police say they found $50,000 cash on the floor and that they also found heroin on the floor next to Taylor's pants when they asked him where his clothes were.
