Oh and they did release the name of the restaurant. At least the article on KETV.com had it...but that one is so full of grammar and continuity errors I didn't link it for sanity's sake. It's the Applebee's in Papillion.

meth in food.
that's bad.

wonder if glycol in you ice tea would be worse.

I hope they catch whoever did it.

Unbelievable.

I read about that earlier today.  I remember some older cops would tell me not to eat anywhere I couldn't see the food being prepared.  They recommended bringing my own meals or going home for lunch (since my house was three minutes drive from the station).  Fortunately I knew most of those who worked in the restaurants in my town, so it wasn't that big of a deal.  There was a case about 5 years ago where a deputy in a county in NY came down ill after eating at a national fast food chain.  It seems that two or three of the youngsters in the back decided to monkey with his food.  A female employee "squatted" on his patty and the other two males in the prep area conspired to put grill cleaning spray on the burger while they were putting it together.  I'm thinking that the male that was at the grill was the one who intigated ... and I think he got something in the neighborhood of 24 mos.  Another nomination for the "WTF of the Year" Award.

Stories such as this are the reason I pack a lunch every shift.  When I did go out to eat while on duty, I always went to Subway as I was able to see the clerk make the sandwich or salad.  I really feel for the officers who were given the meth, as knowing what actually is used to manufacture meth, I want none of those chemicals in my system.
