4-Year-Old Finds Marijuana Pipe in Burger King Kid's Meal

[The Straight Story]

A Michigan family got a bit of a shock Tuesday when they ordered a kid's meal for their 4-year old at a Burger King outside Detroit and found a marijuana pipe in the bag instead of the normal toy.

According to the Dundee, Michigan police, a 23-year old store employee had been smoking during his shift and had hidden the pipe in a food box, but then accidentally served the box to the customers.

The family, from suburban Detroit, called police as soon as they discovered the pipe. Police arrested the employee, who was charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphanalia.

Two of the employee's friends, who were spotted in their car in the parking lot, were also arrested and charged with possession.

2. Can you imagine the late night sales if they really had those in adult meals?

12. I know there are some places where you can order some weed with your burger...

They crop up every now and again, cops usually shut 'em down because the distribution gets too sloppy and widespread, and they get caught, but that seems to be a popular sales method, particularly on late-night shifts...!

9. Oh great, just broadcast that info to the NSA

13. Hahahaha, they already know about the pot related web surfing I do, I assume.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Neither would I.

[RobinA]

21. That Was My

first thought as well. A big thumbs down to those killjoys.

But the moral of the story is - don't get high when serving people food. It's too easy to get confused.

[ZombieHorde]

22. Awesome. Same for me. nt

[bunnies]

4. 3 more people arrested for smoking a plant.

11. Now that's a great marketing move! Free bud & bowl prize given out every day!

but hey, at least it wasn't crack and a crack pipe

14. Really gotta wonder how they got the "two friends"

in the parking lot. Unless they were toking up in the car..


Come to Colorado folks, we no longer arrest people for smoking weeds.

16. For the sake of clarity, this isn't near Detroit

It's probably about 60 miles away and it is a tiny farm town with a corn maze at the exit.

It has grown right around the interstate in recent years because of a Cabela's store and hotel with a water park. So it has those plus a few fast food shops and gas stations.

I don't really know why I felt the need to clarify but the article makes it sound like it is in the Detroit metro area and it's really not.

17. Hmmm the person wasn't, by any chance, you was it?

[Cal Carpenter]

18. Well, sorta, but a zillion years ago and I never got caught

[gollygee]

19. I know!

Dundee "near Detroit?" Uhm, no! It's way out in the country.
