An investigation is underway in Colorado after a man consumed Taco Bell that authorities say was somehow laced with rat poison, according to local reports.
The man became “violently ill” Sunday around 7 p.m. after he ate burritos from the fast food joint in Aurora, authorities said,“Right now what we’re looking at is if the rat poison was actually put into his food at the restaurant,” Deputy John Bartmann said of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. “We don’t know if it was at this point in time.”The case is classified as “criminal attempt homicide,” according to authorities.
Enough rat poison was found that “it would have been very serious to our victim’s health,” Bartmann told the station.according to the Denver Post.The Taco Bell under question was shut down Sunday by deputies, but Swift denied any wrongdoing by his staff. Surveillance footage was turned over to investigators and other evidence is also going to be reviewed.“The safety of customers and team members is a priority,” the company said, according to KHOU.
