Subway Employee Accused Of Putting Meth and THC Into Cop’s Drink
Posted: 10 Aug 2016 06:01 AM PDT
Tanis Lloyd UkenaLAYTON, UT — A Subway employee is in some hot water after investigators say he deliberately put meth and THC into a police sergeant’s drink, causing the man to be hospitalized.
The incident happened on Monday when the uniformed sergeant went through the drive-thru of the Subway located at 1142 E. state Route 193. After drinking some of the lemonade he had ordered, the officer noted that it “tasted funny.”
“While approaching an intersection that had a red light, he had difficulty getting his foot to move to the brake pedal. (He) drove to the Layton Police Department, where he was observed to have signs of impairment. He was unable to process information and drifted off, and was unable to focus on questions being asked of him,” according to a Davis County Jail report.
The officer was taken to the hospital where it was apparent he was under the influence of some kind of drug. An ion scanner test found that traces of meth and THC were in a sample of officer’s drink. A separate test also tested positive for narcotics.
Police returned to the Subway and obtained video surveillance of the officer’s transaction. In the video, 18-year-old Subway employee, Tanis Ukena, can be seen filling the drink portion of the officer’s order at the drive-up fountain area.
“The suspect left the sergeant’s drink on the counter and left the picture frame. In the video you can see him returning with something in his hand and then leaning over the sergeant’s drink for an unusual amount of time. The suspect then provided the sergeant with the drink,” said Sgt. Clint Bobrowski.
Ukena admitted serving the drink to the sergeant, but denied putting anything in it. The surveillance footage must be compelling evidence to the teen’s guilt, as he was arrested and booked into the Davis County Jail for investigation of surreptitious administration of a substance, a second-degree felony.
Subway released the following statement about the incident:
“We are shocked by these charges. Our thoughts are with the Sergeant and his family and we are hoping for a quick recovery. The restaurant owners are working closely with the police in their investigation and will take appropriate action. As this is still an active police investigation, we cannot provide any further information and must refer further questions to the police.”
Bobrowski said this incident should not taint anyone’s views of the Subway location itself.
“We’ve been grateful for the owners and the managers of the Subway restaurant,” he said. “In no way is this a reflection on the ownership of the restaurant. They’ve been fully cooperative with our police department. We don’t have any fears for the safety of the public. They’ve been great dealing with us, and we would definitely encourage people that eat there to continue to do so.”
If I were a cop in uniform, I wouldn’t be able to eat at any restaurant where I couldn’t see my food being prepared. Ever. When I was a teen, I knew two guys who routinely spit their dip spit into a big vat of pizza sauce used at the pizza buffet they worked at — especially if police were dining in the restaurant.
Side note: I NEVER spell restaurant correctly on my first attempt.
