(CBS) FALL RIVER It all started with tacos and a movie and allegedly ended up as a hospital trip and testing positive for drugs. It does sound strange, but one man says it happened to him. He claims the soft tacos he bought at a fast food chain contained some sort of drug.
Phillip Daggett says he grew ill after eating a soft taco he ordered from a Taco Bell on Plymouth Ave. in Fall River over the weekend.
Daggett says he began feeling very strange shortly after eating one of his tacos. He claims he suffered from stomach cramps and numbness in his mouth and lips. He says his symptoms were so intense; he was almost not able to speak properly.
Daggett says he checked another taco he bought and noticed a strange white powder in the meat.
Worried about the mysterious powder and his slurred speech, Daggett says he went to the hospital where he allegedly tested positive for opiates, a form of morphine.
Taco Bell is currently investigating Daggett's claim.
Let that be a lesson, never order the Killer Taco..
Sounds like a couple employees screwed up big-time, time to make a run for the border.

Taco Bell is investigating his claim? Why not the police also?
Hey Norm!
Ewww...that photo looks like a picture of my garbage can. Not very appetizing!
Never take a taco from a guy with a Castagana nametag.
This is absurd. first it was the bogus finger in the wendys chilli, then the bogus rat in Mcds salad, now this. Its just charlatans and lawyers run amok.
I think you're right. Opiates, presumably heroin if it was powder, cost too much on the street for Taco Bell employees to be sprinkling tacos with it. Opiates would have also produced a euphoria.
BLECH!!
What a wuss! That's a completely normal reaction to Taco Bell!
Yeah, I hate it when that happens.
