"A witness said this act was ‘Udderly heinous and heartless,’" the post continued. "The chief has allocated additional resources to find the source of this capital offense."  Chick-Fil-A corporate has also confirmed with officials that there are no plans to open a Chick-fil-A in Wharton.

In an email to Fox News, Sgt. Ariel Soltura, the Public Information Officer for the Wharton Police Department, told Fox News Digital that the police department did not stage the prank themselves, but they "played it up with humor."

"To say that we’re sad that the sign isn’t real would be an understatement, as Chick-fil-A is absolutely delicious," Soltura added. At least they have a Buc-ee's in Wharton. A little story to make you chuckle.
