Boy loses job for sandwich tampering

Muskego - A 16-year-old boy lost his job at a fast-food restaurant and was given a ticket by police after he was accused of tampering with a police officer's food, police Capt. Paul Geiszler said Tuesday.

The boy, who isn't being named because he's a juvenile, was given a ticket accusing him of disorderly conduct, Geiszler said.

The boy, who had been working at the drive-through window at McDonald's when the incident occurred, told police that he put his finger through the food because he doesn't like police officers, Geiszler said.

A manager at the McDonald's restaurant, W189-S7851 Racine Ave., declined to comment Tuesday.

A Muskego officer went through the drive-through the evening of April 12 to order a McChicken sandwich and medium french fries for an emergency dispatcher, Geiszler said. Dispatchers cannot leave the station during work shifts, and officers occasionally pick up dinner for them, he said.

Not suspecting that anything had happened to the food, the officer brought it to the station and handed the bag to the dispatcher. She discovered a hole that went through the paper wrapped around the sandwich and through the sandwich, Geiszler said.

The officer who had brought the food, along with a second officer, went back to McDonald's to speak to a manager, Geiszler said. The manager then brought in the employee who had handed the officer the bag of food. The boy at first said he didn't remember a police squad car using the drive-through.

After more questioning, the boy admitted to putting his finger through the sandwich because he had gotten tickets for underage drinking and didn't like police officers, Geiszler said.

The boy apparently also bragged to another employee, saying he had just "messed with a cop's food," Geiszler said.

The boy was fired from his job that night, Geiszler said.

I flipped burgers once upon a time and for every one of these there are 100 where the recipient never had a clue.

Never screw with a guy in a paper hat.

Which is why I don't eat fast food.



But seriously, if the guy eats it, doesn't know the difference, and goes on with his life, what have you really accomplished?

I worked at Wendy's back in HS and I never saw anything that would make me not trust the food, unless you don't want to eat old chili. The chili is probably the only thing that I wouldn't eat there just because it can be old, but I never saw workers do anything gross to the food.

Vic Mackey would not tolerate that nonsense.


Actually, in Ohio, it is a pretty heavy felony to be charged with Tampering with food for human consumption.
