McDonald’s Employee Arrested for Smuggling Heroin in Happy Meals
A McDonald’s employee was busted in Pittsburg for allegedly smuggling sacks of heroin in Happy Meal boxes via the drive-thru window. According to CBS Pittsburg, undercover agents arrested Shania Dennis after setting up a controlled transaction.
Using a password given to them by an informant, the cops requested to buy a boy’s Happy Meal toy. They then proceeded to the drive-thru window, paying Dennis $2 for the toy and $80 for a Happy Meal box containing 10 small bags of heroin. Upon arrest, Dennis was found with 50 additional bags and currently faces possession and delivery charges.
Swissvale Police Chief Greg Geppert stated that Dennis allegedly placed $2 in the register and $80 into her bra during Wednesday’s undercover buy. At the moment, authorities are unable to say how long this mini operation had been going on for.
” The allegations related to this employee do not represent acceptable behaviors and are not consistent with our 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. For additional information, please contact the local authorities,” Iftikhar Malik, owner of the East Liberty location, assured wary customers in a statement to WTAE.
