Missouri Police: Officer Got Burger Laced With Meth

An you were worried about the doughnuts... An Officer's Christmas Quarter Pounder with Cheese tasted a little funny, and for good reason: It was laced with methamphetamine.

The incident happened in December in Desloge, Mo., about 50 miles southwest of St. Louis, but was not made public until this past Friday.

''He thought it tasted kind of funny so he looked at the burger,'' Bullock said. ''It looked like it had a foreign substance on it.''

The burger was sent to the Missouri Highway Patrol crime lab for testing and tested positive for meth.

Who knew? - Missouri is among the nation's hardest-hit states in terms of meth production and arrests. Police in Desloge and the surrounding counties make hundreds of meth arrests every year.
