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.
What a complete idiot. If I was feeling sick...I would go straight to a DOCTOR before going to the manager. How do we know if it wasn't the friggin dozen donuts he prolly ate in the morning...or something else.
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."
In that case...this officer should be removed from the police force for failing to use common sense in eating something that was hazardous to his "well-being".
If this cop ever gets promoted to detective...then the entire Police force of Union City must be the stupidest force in the world.
There is not any reason for arrest in the circumstances presented. That's not me disagreeing with the cops and the judge, that's me being literal- no grounds, it would be refused.
She's in jail because the cop contends it was done on purpose- i.e. intentionally salt-spiking the cop's burger. Her defence is that it was accidental. This is yet to be ascertained. As it is, it was felt they had enough evidence to hold her.

UNION CITY, Ga. (Sept. 9) - A McDonald's employee 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, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $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."
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 didn't know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she couldn't see the drive-through window from her work area.
Police said samples of the burger were sent 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."
God in Heaven...

They have the burger that was over-salted and they have the cop's interview with her.
This isn't a conviction we are talking about, it is an arrest and charges brought. They felt they had enough evidence to do that and the judge agreed (albeit he agreed on the grounds that it might not have been deliberate but was still an arrrestable offence to contaminate the meat so), and sure as heck we only seem to be hearing the defendant's point of view.
It may be that the arrest was a silly move- and it may well be that the security records prove her account- but the girl's statements given at the start of this thread are being taken as fact when we have no reason to think that.
