A fast-food worker in the US has been arrested for lacing a 4-year-old child's hamburger with ecstasy, which the boy thought was candy.
According to police, the boy's 11-year-old sister found the pill between the buns of the Sonix Drive-In kids meal burger in Texas on Thursday night.
"When she opened the wrapping, she noticed a pill. Being an 11-year-old, she asked her parents if this was candy," Taylor Chief of Police Henry Fluck told ABC 13.
The parents took the meal to the police station where a lab samples revealed the burger tested positive for ecstasy.
Officers arrested manager, 30-year-old Tanisha Dancer, along with two workers, 35-year-old Jonathan Roberson and 22-year-old Jose Molina.
