October 11,2006 | LOS LUNAS, N.M. -- Three workers at
a Burger King restaurant were arrested after two
Isleta tribal police officers discovered that the
hamburgers they ordered were sprinkled with marijuana.
The Isleta Police Department officers ate about half
of their burgers Sunday before discovering marijuana
on the meat. The officers used a field test kit to
confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital
for a medical evaluation.
The three Burger King employees -- Justin Armijo, 19;
Robert Nuckols, 21; and manager Joseph Ledesma, 33 --
were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana
and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony.
