A mother took her two young children out to eat a local fast-food restaurant and discovered something unexpected in her French fries – a bag of marijuana.
Police say Carla McFarland, 35, of Frederick, Maryland, and her children were all set to enjoy their lunch at Sonic when she discovered a small, green plastic bag of marijuana in her fries, reports Reuters.
“I kept thinking, what if my kids had eaten it?” McFarland told the newspaper.
An employee, who was later fired, took responsibility for the marijuana, explaining that it must have fallen from her apron.
“When she asked the three employees, one of the young ladies stepped up and said it was hers,” McFarland said. “It didn’t take very long, and I guess at that point they just said that they fired her.”
McFarland got a new meal and was refunded her money.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office has the marijuana as evidence, but it is not clear whether the employee will be charged.
According to the restaurant’s website, the Guilford Drive location recently opened and is the only Sonic in the county.
