"You're Under Arrest" or "Dragnet 2007"

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luckily I was never arrested for serving salty food. There were times I could have spent a few nights in the hoosegow. Especially if Officer Adams had dined with me and my staff on a night where he perceived the food as being too salty.

The company I once toiled for seasoned its food to the "t." And if an overzealous cook failed to measure the ingredients precisely, a catastrophe was a'waiting to happen. I heard the numerous complaints and suggestions:

"You can add salt and peppa to your food, but you can't remove it."

"People are suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, and other assorted maladies. Icksnay the salt"

"Your cook had a heavy hand tonite!"

Caveat emptor, eh? v.c.


P.S. I like Freddy K's comments: Especially: "What is next, ice cream to cold and made his head hurt?"

You mean to say that this young lady was arrested and put in jail for to much salt on a hamburger? That is the biggest crock of Horse sht and abuse of power by a police officer I have ever heard of. Is the office a real dumb arse. So stupid that he didn't not know he could take the burger back like the rest of us do.
Just seems like the law officer if they were indeed doing their job instead sf sponging a free burger was out doing their job. THey would have more important things to do that arrest a "burger salter" cause his dumb *** ate and it made him sick.
I reckon if his wife or girlfriend had made him a to salty burger he would have arrested them, if not drop the charges od "over burger salting" and move on.
DAMN! I heard it all now. What is next, ice cream to cold and made his head hurt?
