Ottumwa Burger Laced with Pot

OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — Police in southeast Iowa say lab tests have confirmed the presence of THC, the intoxicating chemical found in marijuana, in a burger bought last April at a local fast-food restaurant.

 

An Ottumwa couple reported to police on April 26th that they believed the food they received from the restaurant on April 26 contained marijuana.

Police seized the food, sent it off for tests and began an investigation.

While the lab determined the controlled substance was in the food, police say they have no evidence that a restaurant employee put it there, and the investigation has been closed.
