A McDonald's worker in Union City, Ga., was arrested and jailed Thursday night for putting too much salt and pepper on a police officer's hamburger, MyFoxAtlanta reported Friday.
Kendra Bull was mixing hamburger meat when, she said, too much salt and pepper accidentally spilled into the bowl. Bull said her manager was working with her, and continued to make patties out of the meat. Bull grilled and ate one of the over-seasoned burgers for her dinner break and grilled the remaining burgers from the batch.
A police officer purchased one of the salty burgers and became sick. According to MyFoxAtlanta, the police accused Bull of purposely pouring the salt and pepper on the burger and charged her with reckless conduct. The police photographed the burger, took the sick cop to the hospital, and carted Bull off to jail.
Bull, who spent Thursday night in jail until she was released on a $1,000 signature bond Friday morning, admitted the burgers were too salty, but said she ate one from the batch and did not get sick. She also said that security cameras trained on the work area and grill will prove that the salt was spilled accidentally.
Bull's attorney, a public defender, asked the judge to dismiss the charges, but the judge refused.
Here's what I want to know: Is the officer accusing her of doing it maliciously because he is a cop? Granted, she shouldn't have served it if there was too much salt in it, or could have added meat, or even tipped the bowl up to dump some of it off...but seriously---how can she be arrested for this? Also, is the judge touched in the head? Utter ridiculousness.And lastly, I've been under the impression this whole time that McDonald's hamburger patties were pre-made. Have I been wrong all along?

This is perhaps the most ridiculously frivolous lawsuit that I've ever heard of. So what if you got sick? Shit happens. Should I sue Taco Bueno the next time their muchacos give me indigestion? Absolutely not.
What in the hell is wrong with people? The judge should recuse himself.
Also, I noticed the new picture you put up on your profile. I thoroughly approve. I need to go back home and get those and other dvds...
Welcome to the abuse of power. When you have a monopoly on coercive force, it becomes difficult not to EMPLOY it when the little people piss you off.
To "serve and protect" my ass. Repulsive.
Stupid caps lock.
I've heard of other frivolous lawsuits that compete well with this one but you HAVE to be kidding me.
And yes, I saw the post you put up today, metrognome, though I haven't watched the video yet...but I'm sure it is just another example that backs up the fact that there are lots of people with power who shouldn't be allowed to wield it over the rest of the population.
Oh and camron, that was the best picture I could find of Dorothy online. It seemed like almost everything was fan art...and typically not great fan art.
Didn't it have to have tasted awful? If it was salty enough to make him sick? Why did he take more than one bite of something that had t have tasted horrible?
