Colorado Police have found “no evidence” that employees at a Taco Bell put rat poison in a customer’s food after the customer became violently ill after eating burritos at the restauran…
The man was hospitalized Sunday after consuming the take-out order from the fast food restaurant’s Aurora location and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office later said the burrito was laced with the poison.
Before becoming ill, the customer got into an argument with Taco Bell workers over his food order, police said. Restaurant manager Larry Swift told CBS Colorado the man was annoyed that a drink station wasn’t working and demanded “something free.”The altercation was significant enough that police were called to the restaurant. He received three bean burritos and then nabbed the fourth one at no cost, Swift said.
Police confirmed that they found rat poison in the man’s food after testing, however “investigators can not account for how it got in the food,” the sheriff’s office said. “We don’t carry poison in the restaurant,” Swift told CBS. “We didn’t do anything like that. It didn’t even add up. It’s ridiculous.
