8-year-old finds pot in McDonald's Happy Meal

Keith and Andrea Irelan got quite a surprise on Monday night when they went through a McDonald's drive-thru in suburban Chicago and ordered three Happy Meals for their children. One of the packages contained a bag of marijuana. But the Irelans didn't notice that until after they got to a nearby park for a picnic. That's when their 8-year-old daughter noticed a few odd things in her package. First she found a lighter. Then she found a pipe and a bag of marijuana. The Irelans immediately took it to police, who determined that it belonged to a 17 year-old high school senior who worked at the McDonald's.

He's been charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He's also been fired. McDonald's has apologized to the Irelans but they say they still might sue. Article here.
