And now to follow up on a previous story involves two cops, two employees who sprinkled marijuana on their burgers and the fun time they all had together at their friendly neighborhood “Burger King” where you can have it your way (smothered in mayonnaise, bacon, artery clogging goodness and love).
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.
The lawyer for the officers said, “It gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘Whopper.’” He was also the only one who reportedly laughed at the press conference.
The suit seeks to recover damages encured from “personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices.” The suit also wants the company to repay the officers for the 40,000 Ding Dongs they had to consume and tickets to “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” to keep from jonesing.
Meanwhile, the two employees who spiked the burgers have been indicted and are facing charges of drug possession, battery and getting high on everything else BUT life.
