Thought this was kinda interesting/funny the thing is the officer got the meth for free haha.

DESLOGE, Mo. - The police officer's Quarter Pounder with Cheese tasted a little funny, and for good reason: It was laced with methamphetamine. The incident happened in December in Desloge, Mo., about 50 miles southwest of St. Louis, but was not made public until Friday.

Police Chief James Bullock told KMOV-TV in St. Louis that the officer went to McDonald's the day after Christmas and bought the sandwich, then took it back to the police station.

He thought it tasted kind of funny so he looked at the burger," Bullock said. "It looked like it had a foreign substance on it."

The burger was sent to the Missouri Highway Patrol crime lab for testing and tested positive for meth.

In a statement from McDonald's, John McCook, who owns and operates the Desloge restaurant, said safety and well-being of customers and employees "is always is our top priority." He said the chain is fully cooperating with the investigation.

No charges have been filed, though Bullock said a young man who used to work at the restaurant is being scrutinized. That man's friends had trouble with the same officer years ago.

Missouri is among the nation's hardest-hit states in terms of meth production and arrests. Police in Desloge and the surrounding counties make hundreds of meth arrests every year.

Last week on the news I know I heard something to the effect that...

meth production...is big and rampid in all mid-west states...

*** Only reason I can figure for the cause is the fact that there are so many unpopulated rural areas for those nasties to do their business and go un-noticed...maybe...??? I dunno

I forget where ..but just recently there was a hugh bust in South Dakota (I think) and out in the middle of nowhere! Cause I been there (middle of nowhere) and its desolate...
