Newton police officer says “pig” was written on fast food order

According to KAKE, the Taco Bell employee responsible was sacked. The company apologizes for the worker’s behavior and says they’re moving forward to correct the situation.

Senior director of operations for the company, Jeff Graves, told KAKE that the employee was fired and the restaurant is even working with the Newton police on having an event to show their support for the department.

“The store manager is terribly apologetic of the actions of her employee and assures us the situation is being handled appropriately”, said the police department in a Facebook post.

The employee wrote “PIG” on the takeout orders for the pair on Saturday.

Sunday, the chief of the Newton Police Department said he is saddened by the actions of a person at a local Taco Bell restaurant where an employee there wrote the word “PIG” on food wrappers served to a police officer.

A statement released earlier by the Newton Police Department said the photo caused “strong emotions to be voiced in opposition to one of our local businesses”.

“We are just individuals in the community just like anyone else and would like the same respect that you would give any other citizen”, says Murphy. Now some are upset online.

Murphy said he feels this could have been the act of one or two individuals, and he said he holds no ill-will toward Taco Bell.

The message, they believe, was in reference to the officer’s work in law enforcement.

“I was told I could bring the 5 tacos back and she would have them remade”, the couple shared with us. “I advised her that we were both working and that wasn’t an option”.
