EDGEWATER, Md. - Police in Anne Arundel County say they've busted a McDonalds employee who was allegedly selling pot out of the fast food restaurant's drive-thru window.
Investigators say they got information that 27-year-old Donald Jerrel Brice was dealing marijuana out of the restaurant where he worked, which is located at 113 Mitchells Chance Road in Edgewater.
As part of the investigation, undercover detectives drove to the McDonalds, ordered food at the drive-thru, and then pulled up to the cashier at the first window. Police say those detectives were then able to purchase marijuana from the employee, Brice, after paying for their order.
"Definitely, it was a situation that was unique," said Sgt. John Gilmer of the Anne Arundel County Police Department. "I have never seen anything similar to this."
Police are still investigating if customers had to give some kind of code word to purchase the substance.
"The way it's been relayed to us is if you actually order food, with that food you were actually getting a controlled, dangerous substance, so a weird situation," said Sgt. Gilmer. "Definitely a weird situation."
Some customers who spoke with FOX 5 said they weren't surprised. Others say it's just a sign of the times.
"An answer to the bad economy?" said Angela Gottis, a customer. "I don't know. It's pretty shocking."
It's unclear how long the activity may have been going on, or whether Brice was acting alone.
Brice was then taken into custody by police in the parking lot. He is charged with distribution of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and possession of marijuana.
