Jailed because of over salt burger

Fast food employees out there, don't day dream while preparing food, because one slight error might land you in jail. A cook at a fast food restaurant in Union City, Georgia, U.S, spent a night in jail and freed on $1000 bail during the weekend for putting too much salt on a police officer's hamburger.

Kendra Bull, 20, was arrested Friday on a charge of reckless conduct for allegedly putting so much salt on a McDonald's burger that it made a customer sick, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Saturday. The mother-of-one said the entire situation was the result of an accident in the kitchen. She said an excess amount of salt accidentally spilled on the burger.

Union City police spokesman Sgt. George Louth said Adams took only a couple of bites of the burger and returned to the drive-thru window to alert the manager about the extremely salty hamburger. Adams then began gagging and vomiting and soon called another on-duty officer, Lt. Eugene Tate. Once at the scene, Tate checked Adams and called for paramedics and a back-up officer to complete an incident report, Louth said. At one point while checking Adams, paramedics said his blood pressure registered at 180/120. Adams has no history of high blood pressure, Louth said. Adams was treated and released from Southern Regional Medical Center.
