Heroin-Dealing Brothers Arrested In Burger King Ball Pit Sting
While Burger King has always let customers have it their way when it comes to food orders — the slogan won’t save your ass from the DEA if you’re caught selling $4,000 worth of heroin at the local home of the Whopper.

The suspects, Otis Pegues 31, and Marlan Byars, 28, brothers, found out the hard way that a BK ball pit isn’t the best place to arrange the sale of 20 heroin bricks to an undercover officer.
To make matters worse, CBS Pittsburgh reported that Byars’ 6-year-old son was present during the alleged deal.
The arrests came after a three-month long investigation, during which authorities allege one of the brothers sold heroin to undercover officers in various locations, including a Wal-Mart restroom.

It’s safe to say the brothers face a series of charges and chances are they won’t “have it their way,” for a long time.
