Fast Food Worker Spikes Cop's Drink with Meth

[WildBill]

I just read this. This is getting really scary with attacks on LEOs.
Fortunately the officer recovered and was not seriously injured and will recover.
Apparently the dose was very high and the officer was impaired very quickly.
They arrested an 18 year old suspect and have video evidence.

LAYTON, Utah (KUTV) — A lunch-hour trip to Subway ended with a Layton City police officer being treated for ingesting illegal drugs
after a restaurant employee spiked his drink, Layton detectives tell KUTV.

Tanis Ukena, 18, is in custody at the Davis County jail on suspicion of Surreptitious Administering of Poisonous Substance.
According to a narrative by Layton Police Detective Kelly Rushton, Ukena was working at a Subway when a police sergeant
in a marked police cruiser ordered a sandwich and drink at the drive-thru.

I hope the book is thrown at this criminal.

Poisoning our LEO's should be a capital offense.

Just look at the picture of this punk! He's not scared or worried, he's mad that he got caught!!!!

Little pile of human waste. Looks like your typical spoiled brat in need of some good ol' fashioned whoopin'.

By the way, if possible, I'd add assault on the public servant to the charge.

All of these incidents are the responsibility of the Obama administration, the BLM movement and everyone else advocating violence against LEO's.

[RHenriksen]

That is a scary incident. I think I'd rather be assaulted straight up than be dosed w. a heavy hit of meth :-/

From the article: "The officer was hospitalized but has since been released. He has not yet returned to duty. Ukena is being held on $10,000 bail.

What?? ONLY $10,000 bail who poisoned a police officer?? They should charge him with attempted capital murder(if they have that in Utah)!

And set bail for $1,000,000.

What a token amount of bail! $10,000. Ludicrous!

If I were a LEO I would never eat at a restaurant while in uniform.

I would say attempted murder.

Was he fired?

[Javier730]

Was he fired?

I sure hope so. I won't eat at a place that would not fire an employee who did something like that.

[Take Down Sicko]

How did this clown ever hope to get away with something like that. Most likely, some smooth talking lawyer will get him off with a slap on the wrist.

I hope this doesn't become a trend. I got notice seeking contributions for an officer who almost died from intestinal bleeding after he ingested a piece of metal that was in his food. There was no tie to someone doing it on purpose but there was enough to read between the lines. I couldn't find the link. now.

If I were a LEO I would never eat at a restaurant while in uniform.

That would be one way of avoiding what happened in the incident described.

Alternatively, if the officer had ordered his lunch inside the Subway restaurant, he could have observed the food being prepared and filled his beverage container himself, thereby giving Ukena far less opportunity to tamper with the food and drink.

Furthermore, I do not expect uniformed police officers to be the only potential targets for food service employees tampering with food/drink; people wearing clothing or driving cars with bumper stickers with political messages, or someone simply open carrying, might get more than what they ordered from a food service worker with a criminal recipe.

I got so angry reading this story that I had to go chew up a bunch of Tums.

Why the heck did a fast food worker have Meth while he was on the job? Don't they drug screen those people now days? I'm not for lawsuit abuse, but if I were a lawyer I would take a case to sue the employee, the store owner, and Subway.
