A Sonic employee, Jeffrey David Salazar, created headlines after he was arrested at a Drive-in restaurant in New Mexico for giving a hotdog with a bag of cocaine to a customer. The Sonic employee had lost his bag, which was later found in the hotdog.
The 54-year-old employee was detained and has been brought in for interrogation by the narcotics department on charges of possessing a controlled substance. As per the police, the incident was not intentional, as the substance was accidentally placed in the food.
Furthermore, the police also confirmed that the substance was cocaine based on a field test conducted by the authorities. The officials also stated in their reports that the woman bit into her food to find a powder-like substance in a bag and immediately informed the Sonic outlet and police about the same.
The Sonic employee has admitted to buying the cocaine. At the same time, the police confirmed that Salazar claimed that he bought the substance from someone in the restaurant’s parking lot, for which investigations are currently ongoing.
The customer does not feel she ingested any of the cocaine after a Sonic employee gave her a “cocaine hot dog”
According to the incident report, the woman who experienced the incident does not believe she ingested any of the substance in her mouth. The incident occurred at the Sonic Drive-In in Espanola on Tuesday when the customer ordered a 'Coney' hot dog, which is topped with warm chili and melted cheddar cheese. The woman's identity was not disclosed in the report.
The affidavit of the arrest warrant also states that on the same day as the incident, video surveillance captured Salazar engaging in what appeared to be a hand-to-hand transaction with a female employee.
Furthermore, as per the police report, the surveillance footage also showed Salazar preparing the customer's order until he became agitated, presumably upon realizing that something may have gone missing.
While the Sonic employee has been arrested, the woman has not yet made any claims, as her attorney, Merit Bennet from the Bennett Law Group, stated that the same would be filed once the reports are verified.
