The victim was reportedly in a coma for weeks.
Another day, another truly bizarre incident at a Waffle House: An employee at a store in Georgia was arrested for spiking a co-worker's drink with meth, reports CBS 46.
According to Dawson County police, surveillance video from the restaurant shows 43-year-old Sonserea Evans taking 37-year-old Brian Mikeals's drink to the bathroom, where they believe she slipped the drug into his drink, then returning the beverage without his knowledge.
Mikeals's family says after unknowingly consuming the poisoned drink, "he was in a coma for four weeks" and is now unable to walk. (Per the U.S. National Library of Medicine, a coma is one possible side effect of a methamphetamine overdose, along with a stroke and possible kidney failure.)
Evans was arrested for aggravated battery, as well as possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, and is currently being held at the Dawson County jail; Mikeals is still recovering in an area hospital.
Reached for comment by Eater, a Waffle House spokesperson says, "We are very concerned over this matter and are working with the local authorities to assist in their investigation. Our main focus now is on our Associate who was injured and his family as they go through this trying time. Once we were made aware of this situation, we terminated Ms. Evans. Since this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment at this time."
Other outlandish crimes that have occurred at Waffle House locations include a Georgia woman who stripped naked and broke another customer's nose in a violent outburst, and a South Carolina man who threatened his waitress with a knife when the restaurant ran out of pie. But despite these unfortunate incidents, there are still plenty of reasons to go to Waffle House: Besides the excellent hash browns, the restaurant chain also hosts romantic candle-lit dinners every Valentine's Day. You might even spot Kobe Bryant or Kim and Kanye there one of the other 364 days of the year.
I turn around and walk out when I see it over ran with little Jesse's......
With all the FDA and Health Dept Regs.......what happened to head wear and rubber gloves in the eating places.
I sometimes watch "Hell's Kitchen", and I see those cooks, wipe their forehead with bare hands and go back to cooking.
Expensive Gourmet meals means that cook is touching your food with his hands, poking on the meat to see if it is done, plating it up and serving it to you. YUK nasty. See enough on that show to make me sick.
Now the Junior Masterchef is GREAT, they are better cooks than the adults and cleaner.
The use of margarine is an automatic disqualifier. My mother used margarine for a time when I was young to save money. I could easily tell the difference even when she used it in cakes, pies, and cookies.
When she went back to butter (after my father started making a little more money), the shift back to delicious confectionaries was immediate. Margarine is awful.
Message to self.
Never dine at the Waffle House.
Drugs are HARMLESS, my beautress.
And avoid crazy women!
What a vicious woman.
“I’m in love with a waitress, I don’t even know her name ...”
Exactly! That is why I try to stay out of restaurants and fast foods. I notice there are not just nasty people but nasty places. Fly’s zooming around, ants crawling around, bathroom does not work.
I went to some Salvadorean Restaurant near where I live. My neighbor wanted to go there, I notice their bathroom was filthy, the floor need to be scrubbed. I learn they leave the meat out and they may have left cooked chicken out and reheat it.
I had to go to the restroom so I excuse myself and told my neighbor I would be back. Since I lived nearby I decided to run for it back to the apartment. LOL No way do I want to eat in that place. I did some research and learned that restaurant has numerous violations. UGH!!
Like you said it makes you enjoy cooking at home.
Having said that and since my floors are very clean, I do pick dropped food up and immediately eat it myself, just go by the 3 second rule, lol.
Bleach is my best friend in the kitchen...
Watching Hells Kitchen, someone may drop the meat on the floor......Ramsey comes unglued. Hey pick it up, put it on the fire and bingo germ free, why waste a good steak. But he lets them wipe their brow with their hands and continue cooking......no, no, not good.
I go out to eat maybe 1x every 2 or 3 weeks, but after reading the posts of you two ladies I’m tempted to cut it down to 1x every 2 or 3 years.
I have learned to duplicate the taste of some of my favorite places, so why spend the excess $$$ anyway.
I have a website that gave me all the recipes for most Dine outs......I use it a lot. We are not to into Gourmet, too expensive for sample servings.

She didn’t smile for the mug shot so I don’t know if she was missing her left front tooth.
I gotta visit me one of dem Waffle Houses. Seems like there’s always some wacky shenanigans going on.
And avoid crazy women!
So I guess dining with crazy women at the Waffle House is verboten. Now you tell me, after I learned the hard way.
Do an image search of Waffle House Weddings if you want a few yucks.
Off-topic, but being an amateur anthropologist of sorts, I've noticed that the further south you drive the longer-more-involved the WH waitress sleeve tattoos become......by the time you hit Florida they're almost in full Camo.
....look hard enough and you'll find it on her arms -- or lower back -- or shoulders -- or breastbone......it'll be there someplace!
Meth goes with late nite Wafflé Houses across the south like Quaaludes and panties left in the glove box
At a Waffle House - go figure....
Third shift @ Waffle House.
