McDonald’s employee accused of selling heroin inside Happy Meals

Manko said several law enforcement officers set up a controlled buy at the restaurant Wednesday.

Investigators said customers looking for heroin were told to go through the drive-through and say “I’d like to order a toy.”

The customer would then be told to drive to the first window, where they’d hand over their money and get a Happy Meal box containing heroin in exchange.

The customer, who just paid $82, would then leave without stopping at the second window, according to Manko.

Once the controlled buy was executed, detectives arrested Shantia Dennis. After the arrest, 10 stamp bags of heroin were recovered inside the Happy Meal box and another 50 bags were recovered from Dennis, Manko said.

“No I was not,” Dennis said after Channel 11’s Courtney Brennan asked her if she was selling heroin at McDonald’s.

Manko said it’s unclear how long the process has been going on or how many transactions have taken place.

Police said it doesn’t appear that the heroin is related to the potentially lethal batches being sold in the area.

Channel 11’s Courtney Brennan was on this story from the beginning. Here’s an example of her keeping her Twitter followers informed.
