Ernest McHenry says he ordered a fish sandwich from Burger King and found a pill inside.
The pill was identified as the painkiller hydrocodone.

Ernest found it as he was putting salt and pepper on his sandwich.
Tomeria Kendrick and her mother visited the Burger King, bought a chicken sandwich at the drive-thru. Kendrick took one bite and immediately spit it out.
Inside the sandwich, she told police she found a pill.
Her mother took her to the local Fire Station; once she was cleared, she went back to Burger King , sandwich and pill in hand.
But another customer was not so lucky.
Police said a 21-year-old who went through the drive-through at the same Burger King ended up getting sick after one bite.
According to police, she went back to the restaurant and called police, she had a seizure and had to be taken to a hospital.
As a result of all this, two employees have been arrested in connection with the incident.
Woody Duclos, has been charged with poisoning food, with intent to kill or injure a person.
His co-worker buddy, Bryant Jones, has also been charged after he admitted selling the pills to Duclos.

The district manager told police that Duclos was recently suspended for misconduct, and she believes "he did this because he was disgruntled and angry at the business."
Burger King issued this statement Tuesday following the arrests of two of its employees:
"Food safety is non-negotiable at BURGER KING® restaurants. This franchise restaurant, which is independently owned and operated, has terminated the two employees involved and is working with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on this investigation."
