Oversalted burger leads to charges

[yogib37 3]

UNION CITY, Ga. - A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty, so salty that he says it made him sick.

Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail.

Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off."

On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. "It didn't make me sick," Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.

Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.

"If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?" said Bull, who has worked at the restaurant for five months. She said she didn't know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she couldn't see the drive-through window from her work area.

Police said samples of the burger were sent to the state crime lab for tests.

City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."

You see, that makes sense. If you don't like it or something is wrong with it, why keep eating it? I can understand being a little annoyed at wasting money, but give me a break! And he says he got sick from eating an "over salted" burger? Unless the burger was more salt than meat, I find that hard to believe.

I don't know why the officer ate the entire thing if it was that salty, but he did. While the restaurant worker did make a mistake in spilling salt on it, the police officer didn't have to eat the entire thing. Instead, he could've returned told the restaurant about the burger and probably received either a refund or a new meal.

Police said samples of the burger were sent to the state crime lab for tests.

Anyone else think this is a gross misuse of state tax dollars and manpower?
