ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, [/b]the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.[/b] (!!!!)"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper,"' the officers' attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday. "The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.Copyright 2006 The Associated Press.

    How exactly does one 'batter' someone with a hamburger? Were the employees beating the cops over the head with it?

    How is putting weed in their burger supposed to do anything? You need to make butter or oil so the THC can attach to it. Otherwise it won't digest properly and you'll miss the high.

    What they should have done was made cannabutter in advance, and mixed it in the meat. Novices.

    The legal definition of battery is physical contact that would be offensive to a normal person and that is made without consent. The claim is not much of a stretch.

    The article reminds me of a story I read from 5-10 years back. Employees at a Bay Area (Marin maybe?) fast-food place were selling weed out of a drive-through. Basically, folks would order, use the right code word and get served zips in addition to the food they ordered. I forget what code words they were using, but they inadvertantly solicited or sold drugs to some cops.
