Jail for "salty Burger"

A McDonald's employee in America spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty - so salty that he says it made him sick.

Kendra Bull was arrested Friday in Union City, Georgia, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on £492 ($1,000) bail.

Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who 'tried to thump the salt off.' ( I hope that's not a double-entendré)

On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. 'It didn't make me sick,' Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.

Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.

'If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?' said Bull, who has worked at the restaurant for five months. She said she did not know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she could not see the drive-through window from her work area.

Police sent samples of the burger to the state crime lab for tests.

City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger 'without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it.'
