A police officer in Indiana who accused a McDonalds worker of taking a bite out of his McChicken sandwich has apologized after realizing that he was the one who did it. The Marion County sheriffs deputy told local NBC affiliate WTHR that he suspected a worker at a McDonalds he frequently patronizes in Indianapolis targeted him because of his position as a law enforcement officer.
The cop, identified only as DJ by WTHR, said he ordered a McChicken sandwich, fries and chocolate chip cookies from the McDonalds on July 14. Later that day, he noticed a bite missing from the sandwich while he was warming it up at work. I noticed several small bites, DJ told WTHR. I know I didnt eat it. No other people around. So I was like ... Im going to report this to McDonalds, see if they can get that taken care of.
DJ said he went back to the McDonalds and talked to a supervisor who offered him free food, which he said he wasnt interested in. I just wanted to find out who the person was and [have management] deal with that person in an appropriate way [fired] DJ told WTHR. A McDonalds representative told the outlet that the company had launched a full investigation into the incident following DJs accusation.
But the Marion County Sheriffs Office released a statement Friday announcing the conclusion of their own investigation, which found that the officer was the one responsible for the missing bite. The employee took a bite out of the sandwich upon starting his shift at the Marion County Jail, then placed it in the refrigerator in a break room, according the sheriffs department. He returned nearly seven hours later having forgotten that he had previously bitten the sandwich.
A spokeswoman for the Marion County Sheriffs Office told HuffPost that the officer has been disciplined.
