This might have been the toy in the bag some adults would be thrilled about.
But when a weed-filled pipe was found in a kids meal purchased for a 4-year-old…well, let’s just say the child’s parents weren’t happy.
The pipe actually belonged to a 23-year-old employee at the Burger King restaurant in Michigan. He had stashed the pipe along with his marijuana inside the box to hide it while he was at work.
Not so genius, huh?
“So it ended up inside a 4-year-old’s Kids Meal,” Dave Uhl, Dundee Police Chief told the Monroe News. “I couldn’t believe it.”
According to Gawker:
As the four-year-old’s grandfather walked from the Burger King to the hotel where his family was staying, he noticed a Burger King employee running to a car in the restaurant’s parking lot. The grandfather thought it looked suspicious and told police about it after the pot was found, describing the employee and the two men in the car.
Later, when a police officer was interviewing the suspect, the suspect’s phone rang. The patrolman asked to answer it. When the employee’s two friends said they were across the street and that police were on the scene, the two were surprised to learn they were speaking to an Officer Kotsch, and not their friend. Kotsch soon drove over to the parking lot where the two were parked.
Upon seeing Kotsch’s squad car, the two friends, ages 18 and 20, did what any innocent, not-stoned person would do: they took off, abandoning their car, and sprinted into nearby woods. Officer Kotsch calmly called one of their cellphones, using the number from the Burger King employee’s phone, and told them that if didn’t return to the scene, they would be arrested and their car would be impounded. The two quickly emerged from the woods.
In the end, the two friends, along with the Burger King employee who lost his weed in a kids meal, were arrested and charged with drug possession after police found marijuana, hash, and drug paraphernalia in the car.
As for the 4-year-old who probably just wanted some fries and a toy…well, maybe his family will go to McDonald’s next time.
