Heroin in Happy Meals!?

Initial Article

Shantia Dennis, an employee at a Pittsburgh McDonald's, had found an apparently foolproof plan to sell heroin. She was slipping it into Happy Meals.

Police say that if a customer ordered with the phrase "I'd like to order a toy," they would be slipped a little something-something in their meal (if you know what I mean).

To crack this smack seller or smack this crack seller, a couple officers from "a local narcotics enforcement team" went undercover and bought one of these "meals" after they got inside information from an informant. As stated in the article, "Police officers bought 10 bags of heroin in stamp-sized packets from Dennis and found another 50 bags on her person after making the buy."

Well.... isn't that something... McDonald's being even more unhealthy. Honestly, this article isn't surprising. True, it isn't a good thing and I'm not impressed, but people will do anything nowadays. She wanted money, they wanted drugs. It just happened to take place at McDonald's.

I mean, think about it, it's a McDonald's employee who probably hates their job and isn't making very much money. Or it's just a drug addict/seller that needed a "clever" way to get their stuff out there.

I'm more surprised at the fact that it hasn't happened before. It's a simple way to get a dangerous thing out into the world.
