A pregnant woman and her boyfriend found an extra ingredient in their McDonald’s burgers – marijuana.
On the 26th of April, Brittany Songer visited a McDonald’s restaurant in Ottumwa, Iowa, with her fiance, Cory Long and her 2-year-old son.
They ordered two McDoubles and were sharing one of the burgers when they noticed that it didn’t taste the same like a typical McD’s burger.
“It tasted bad, and I thought maybe it was because he had cologne on his hands when he bit it. Then I opened the burger and the cheese was just covered with weed,” Songer, 23, said. “Once I opened those burgers, you couldn’t smell McDonald’s anymore. You could only smell the illegal drugs that were on it.”
The couple then alerted the police.
Lt. Jason Bell mentioned that the green substance found on the burger “appears to be consistent with marijuana.”
The substance was sent to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation for testing and that process could take two months.
If the tests are confirmed, the person responsible could be charged with administering a harmful substance, which is Class D felony.
“It appeared to be something that may have been intentionally placed on the burger and by who is part of the investigation. We are trying to determine who actually put it on there,” Bell said.
While investigating the case, Ottumwa police allegedly found drug paraphernalia on at least one McDonald’s employee, but no arrests have been made so far.
The department has also gathered surveillance footage from the McDonald’s outlet.
