What were they thinking?
In Los Lunas, New Mexico two police officers sued Burger King Corporations. It was said that they were served burgers that had been laced with marijuana. Both police officers, Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabldon were dressed in uniform and were riding around in a marked poilce car when they said they were served these burgers. The lawsuit says that these two cops were about halfway done with their meals before they realized that there was marijuana on the meat. A field test kit was used to confirm that the substance was pot and then was brought into the hospital for further evaluation. They arrested three of the Burger King employees and chared them with possesion or an illegal drug and aggravated battery on an officer.
When i read this i was in complete shock. Why would you do something like that. Especially when you see that there are now police officers there buying your food. This defintely was the most ubsurd article that i have read in a long time. If these people gave burgers that were laced with marijuana to cops, imagine how many other people were given these burgers. And if this were the case, that all these other people were served this, why wasnt something reported. I found this article to be most interesting because i’ve never heard of anything like this happening anywhere around here.

That’s a very unusual story — getting high on burgers. It does seem asinine to serve them to cops, but maybe the employees were also already out of it (?). I hate to think what an incident like this will cost a well-known franchise like Burger King in reputation, etc. Definitely, people are going to be a lot more wary of what they’re getting…
