Wonder if they deliver where I live?


WBIR News

An Alabama church group got the shock of their lives when they found marijuana in their pizza.

It happened at a youth outing in Florence the day before Thanksgiving, and police still aren't sure where the pot came from.

The pizza came from a Papa John's restaurant in Florence.

The district office for Papa John's sent us this press release:

"We have been notified by the Florence police of a possible incident of product tampering with a pizza order on November 21st, where a customer claims to have discovered marijuana on his pizza. We have investigated internally and have no reason to believe that the product tampering occurred at our restaurant or by any of our employees. We take great pride in serving a high-quality product to our customers and in our 12 years of serving the Florence community have never had an incident like this. We are cooperating with the police in their processes to get to the bottom of this claim."

Authorities did say an off duty Florence Police Officer ordered the pizza.

"I don't believe at this time they knew it was a police officer who ordered it," said Sgt. Rolando Bogran, of the Florence Police Department.

According to the FPD, it was not until the pizza was already eaten that someone realized there was something in it.

Forensic testing has been ordered to get official certified results.

"Whatever the outcome of the investigation, it will be bad, we are talking about a local restaurant, it hurts the community, hurts everyone, but most of all some people could have been hurt in the incident," said Sgt. Brogan.

Several of the youth who ate the pizza were taken to the hospital to be checked out.

None were found to have ill effects of eating the pizza.

The amount of business done by that Papa John's is about to go through the roof.

"I'll have one large hawaiian pizza pizza and another large dutch-style pizza."

i dont know if i should laugh at the pot bein on the pizza or the press release calling their papa john's pizza "high-quality".

 

[panopticist]

Someone bitched about getting free weed?
Unreal...

I guess there is a first time for everything.

Papa Johns need to change their advertising. I would imagine that the Sour Diesel and Pepperoni or the O.G.Kush and sausage would become their best sellers.

Can't you just imagine a dessert pizza with Blueberry and a Fruity Thai?

 

[Pops]

Phone rings..."Good Evening, this is Papa Johns."..Yes, I want a delivery of 2 large pizzas, please. Make the first one Bubba Kush, White Widow and double Cheese. Make the second one half Blueberry and half strawberry Diesel.

Haha, I wish they would have gone into more detail of what happened. I can just imagine the kids reading the bible and starting to come up on weed food

Brownies are strong stone and I'm sure they were all freaking out. My money is on kids in the group spiking the pizza.

Do they throw in a free sack if the pizza takes longer than 30 minutes to deliver?

Geesh, the pizza chain was JUST trying to help them see God. Some folks just don't appreciate it, I guess.

 

[Irishslappop]

"taken to the hospital" wow.

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

i kept on reading to see if it said if the people who got to eat of it got high or not... it said none reported ill-effects, so most likely got a nice buzz at least

but remember, it is not cool to spice the food of others with mind-altering substances without their full knowledge and agreement on their part.

no shit sherlock...

I was wondering how they determined it was reefer on the pizza in the first place. Did they actually SEE it or did they chow down and then get euphoric or what? Wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was actually oregano sprinkled on it and one of them felt funny so it HAS to be spiked terrorist pizza.

I just went back to see if they posted a follow up yet and read some of the comments. Surely YOU guys didn't leave any of those reply's, cause ALOT of them resemble the ones above. ..

One idiot even claimed it was possibly super pot that could cause hallucinations!!! OMG!!

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

well, good ganja is supposed to make you "hallucinate", however mildly
what is to hallucinate is hard to define however; and i will not attempt to do it.

but SomeGuy, you know you are right, how the heck did they know it was cannabis? how was the nature of whatever found determined? aren't reporters supposed to know this before they publish their news?

ya it can make you hallucinate if you're a lightweight and it's really good shit. but it's obviously not the same kinda hallucinating that you get from acid. hallucinating isn't necessarily seeing things that don't exist like most people think. a hallucination is just a distortion in your auditory or visual perceptions. so like if you're looking at something and it seems like it's really far away even though it's not, that's a hallucination.

Still no follow up to the story. I guess the forensics lab is busy with REAL crimes and not overly concerned with this one.

Heres the follow up and it tested POSITIVE for marijuana. They don't know how, why or where it came from though.


Times Daily

Florence police officials say a substance found on food that was delivered to a church has been identified as marijuana.

Detective Sgt. Rolando Bogran said he received written confirmation Monday morning from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences. He said the food was delivered Nov. 21.

"We don't know when the material was placed on the food," Bogran said. "We don't know if it was put on the food at the restaurant, by the delivery person or by someone where it was delivered to. The only thing that we're sure of is that the marijuana was in the food."

Bogran said authorities are trying to determined why someone would put marijuana in the food.

"We don't know if this was retaliation of some kind against an individual or someone trying to ruin the reputation of the restaurant," he said.

Reports indicate there were 18 to 20 people in the group that received the food. Of those, Bogran said about 11 ate some of the food.

"Someone there became suspicious of the food after seeing it, smelling it," Bogran said. "We were called in to investigate."

He said about six of the people who ate the food went to the hospital to be tested; all tested negative for marijuana and none got sick from eating the food.

"We have interviewed the employees at the restaurant, the person who delivered the food and the people at the church," Bogran said.
