UNION CITY, Ga. - A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty, so salty that he says it made him sick.

Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail.

Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off."

On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. "It didn't make me sick," Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.

Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.

"If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?" said Bull, who has worked at the restaurant for five months. She said she didn't know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she couldn't see the drive-through window from her work area.

Police said samples of the burger were sent to the state crime lab for tests.

City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."

What a waste of time and money.

Irene, Madame X, and I would've enjoyed this...

Seriously, that sounds like TOO much salt for anyone - but ARRESTING the employee?? Isn't that a bit much??

I agree. I really think it was an accident in this case.

Madame X · 09-09-2007, 03:31 PM

Yes, Cat. The word SALT did attract my attention!

I wonder if this case would have gone that far if the victim wasn't a police officer.

catlover79 · 09-09-2007, 03:32 PM

Couldn't they just have made and served the cop ANOTHER burger??

Yeah, like it was too much trouble to ask for another hamburger. Since when is it a crime to eat a burger with too much salt? What penal code is that?

Did the cop eat the WHOLE burger? If it didn't taste right, why eat the whole thing? STUPID!

Madame X · 09-09-2007, 03:39 PM

The employee shouldn't have been held completely responsible since she did tell her supervisor.

I could see if she hawked a lunger in the meat and deliberately mixed it in, then ok, send her to jail.

McDonalds prides itself on selling billions of burgers. Odds are, now and then there will be a "surprise."
