It took the crime lab and a DNA analysis of a burger – to prove that a burger King worker spit and possibly wiped his ass on a deputy's burger.
It was on this unfortunate night that 22-year-old Gary Herb was the cooking burgers, a man with a criminal past.
The Deputy watched another fast-food worker hand him the bag in a way that made him suspitious. So he cracked open the burger beforetaking a bite.
That's when he found human spit and saliva, not ruling out feces, on the deputy's burger.
Frustrated by Burger King's hampering of the investigation, Deputy Bylsma now is suing the restaurant chain. He's also suing Kaizen Foods, which reportedly owns the restaurants in the Northwest. We're told the deputy hopes the suit will change Burger King's hiring and supervision policies, and seeks unspecified damages.
Said the deputy's attorney, Anne Bremner: "When the deputy asked for changes, for an apology, for any kind of assurance that this wouldn't happen again, that just hasn't been forthcoming."
A statement from Burger King said that "food safety is non-negotiable at Burger King restaurants. There are strict policies and procedures regarding food handling ... The employees involved in this incident violated these strict procedures and have been terminated by the franchise owner. The company regrets this incident."
However, the deputy's attorney said the restaurant still isn't doing criminal background checks on the people it hires.
One of the fired workers, who handed the officer the burger, is rumored to have hepatitis and he too, has a criminal record
However, Burger King nor the employee have responded to requests for hepatitis testing. That's one more reason the deputy is filing suit for hampering.
Gary Herb, had been working at Burger King for a a year, just imagine how much spit has gone through the to go window.
