Hinkle Had A Hankering For Hooters

28-year-old Florida resident Jonathan Hinkle had a hankering for the wings at Hooter’s.  Or, perhaps he missed the atmosphere.  In any case, he just knew he had to pay the restaurant a visit but had no way to get there.  So, he concocted an outlandish plan to get himself a ride from someone else.

Hinkle himself was found in a nearby Burger King parking lot, supposedly helping his girlfriend with a car issue. (Seems like one of them needs to get a reliable ride). But, why Hooters, Hinkle?  The reasoning behind his choice remains unclear, other than it was in close proximity to where police later discovered him.In any case, turns out, a desperate Hinkle used his own family to carry out his plan, whatever it was, and karma got the best of him.  Perhaps he should have made a few extra calls before dialing an emergency line to ensure his grandmother would back him up.  Instead of a celebratory night at Hooter’s, the stunt landed him a night in the Brevard County Jail.  He was released on bond the following evening.Hinkle could be facing misdemeanor charges for his odd hankering for Hooters, which would carry a sentence of either sixty days in jail, or six months of probation, plus fines of up to $500.  It’s unclear whether Hinkle has obtained legal representation.
