Ok, I know the title is alarming but it’s true Shantia Dennis, a 26 year old McDonald’s employee was selling heroin happy meals out of a Pittsburgh location. Apparently after calling to tell Dennis you were headed to her the key phrase to alert Dennis you wanted to buy drugs was “I’d like to order a toy.” Now if you all are anything like me your first thought was, “what made her think no one else would order a happy meal???” Unlike myself, Dennis didn’t think that would happen and when a mother went home after ordering a happy meal she was alarmed when the box had a bag of heroin inside! The mother quickly called the police who set up an undercover scheme and they too used the phrase “I’d like to order a toy” and received 10 bags heroin!
Dennis was then arrested last Wednesday on the spot caught with 50 bags of heroin, money, and marijuana in her bra. On Thursday she was charged with criminal use of a cell phone, delivery of heroin, possession with intent to deliver heroin and possession of heroin and marijuana. No other employees were arrested and all claimed to have no idea of what was going on.Store owner, Iftikhar Malik, is believed to have no connection to the drug sales. According to the Associated Press, Malik also owns another location in Murrysville, Pa., where an employee was charged with dealing heroin earlier this year. I don’t know if any of you are fans of the hit AMC TV series Breaking Bad but this sure does sound like the drug plot just instead of chicken it’s happy meals! One location, ok I can believe him being unaware but TWO! Yea seems a little odd, but in a statement Malik said, “The allegations related to this employee do not represent acceptable behaviors and are not consistent with my values, as such, we take these charges very seriously and we are fully cooperating with the authorities. We are also conducting our own thorough internal investigation.” I don’t know about you all but next time you order food don’t just check to see if the foods right make sure you are drug free! That’s my juicy news for the day, go ahead let me know your expressions!
