Florida Meat Thief Caught Red-Handed with $1,000 in Beef and a Side of Fentanyl
Nobody likes a Florida meat thief. There’s a guy named Able Martin Cordova who really took the phrase “Where’s the beef?” to heart. This dude wasn’t just asking, he was literally stuffing his shirt with meat. We’re not talking a couple of steaks here. According to FOX13, this guy swiped over $1,000 worth of meat from Costco and Sam’s Club here in Southwest Florida. How did he think he’d get away with that? Well, just like every other Florida meat thief… He didn’t.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the loss prevention teams at these warehouse clubs to sniff out our meat-loving criminal mastermind. They did the best thing they know how… Just a good ol’ fashion “steak” out of the stores. These officers went all in, tracking Cordova until they finally caught him cruising in a black SUV. I like to call it his meat-mobile.

Florida Meat Thief Cooked:
When they pulled him over, it wasn’t just meat they found. Cordova was practically a walking buffet. Alongside the meat, he had fake membership cards, some marijuana, and even fentanyl. Talk about a “beefy” amount of evidence!
Now, Cordova isn’t just facing charges for being notorious Florida meat thief. He’s in trouble for those fake membership cards and the drugs too. And guess what? He was already wanted in Broward County for pulling the same kind of stunt. This dude was on a meat-stealing spree all across Florida.

So, if you’re going to smuggle meat, don’t also carry drugs and fake IDs. Or maybe just don’t smuggle meat at all. The law will have a serious bone to pick with you. Either way, Cordova’s facing a lot of felony charges and probably won’t be hitting up any warehouse clubs anytime soon.
