"McDonald's worker's Happy Meals had a bit extra: heroin, authorities say"

"A McDonald's employee in Pittsburgh was arrested Wednesday after undercover police officers said they discovered her selling heroin in Happy Meal boxes, according to a criminal complaint."
Shantia Dennis, 26, was arrested after undercover law enforcement officials conducted a drug buy...

Customers looking for heroin were instructed to go through the drive-through and say, "I'd like to order a toy." The customer would then be told to proceed to the first window, where they would be handed a Happy Meal box containing heroin...

Dennis is charged with two counts of possession, one count of criminal use of a communication facility, one count of prohibited acts of delivery and one count of possession with intent to deliver.

The Woman with the Golden Arches may be the next update of a Sinatra picture.

Speaking of heroin - Senator Mark Udall's son was busted by the local police for breaking into cars in Eldorado Springs. He was supposedly high on the stuff when they caught him.

Selling heroin thru your Mc-D job? Ball-zee.

See!

We don't really need to raise the McD minimum wage to $15.

That would only discourage personal initiative and entrepreneurial scheming.

The Burger King in the next village west of here had a high school kid employee who was selling bags of weed at the drive-thru window.

He was new to the village and hadn't yet learned the faces of the undercover police officers, especially the cute young female officer.

The police let the scheme go long enough to figure out where the kid was getting his supply, then it was all hold the pickle hold the lettuce we're the cops you won't forget us.

I wonder why this is a fast food thing?

A guy in Milwaukee who owned three was using them as a front for money laundering for his marijuana enterprise.

I read about that. The code words were a simple twist of a familiar phrase. "I'd like to get fried with that."

If you google "Shantia Dennis" you learn that it's not just another victimless crime.

Sounds more like a sequel to "The Happy Hooker".

Here's some of McDonald's toys.

One seems to be missing.

" one count of criminal use of a communication facility"

Really? The drive through is a sensitive and powerful communications installation that needs to be protected from criminal activity? You would think that such a thing would have better communications than teenagers who barely speak English gargling through walkie talkies.
