Pot Burgers

I was dosed with acid once, without my knowledge, and let me tell you, it wasn't funny.

Restaurant workers spice officers' burgers with pot

Three fast-food restaurant workers were taken into custody Sunday evening after two police officers discovered that the hamburgers they had ordered had been sprinkled with marijuana.

The Isleta Police Department officers had eaten about half of their burgers from a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas before realizing that something was wrong. Opening the burgers, they discovered marijuana sprinkled on top of the meat.

One of the officers, when he was eating his hamburger, he said, 'This thing tastes like it has marijuana in it,' said Lieutenant Joseph Sanchez of the Los Lunas Police Department. 'And that's when he opened it up to see what was inside.'

The officers used a field test kit, which confirmed that the green, leafy substance was pot.

Officials say that the officers began acting odd after ingesting the marijuana and their sergeant sent them to a hospital for a medical evaluation.

The three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, which is a felony. They've been identified as 19-year-old Justin Armijo, 21-year-old Robert Nuckols and their manager, 33-year-old Joseph Ledesma.
