JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (KSNT) – In a show of support Tuesday morning, law enforcement visited the Junction City McDonald’s in the wake of a coffee cup insult hoax.
The Geary County Sheriff’s Department and Junction City police both paid visits to the McDonald’s to have coffee and speak with staff and customers.
The meet comes after Herington’s police chief accused a McDonald’s employee of writing obscenities on one of his officer’s coffee cups. In a press conference Monday night, the chief said the officer made up the story and is no longer on the force.

I was a military police officer at Ft. Riley (a long time ago) and had a fair deal of interaction with the surrounding civilian LE agencies. For the most part, the Junction City guys always seemed pretty decent and professional. Good on the Chief and his officers for going out of their way to make this right with McD’s.
Ultimately Trump’s fault, he’s dividing the country, stoking the fires of racism, etc.
So the chief needs to answer for posting this on his Facebook page and making this go viral in the first place. AFAIK, he hasn’t even expressed regrets for posting this without verifying the facts.
It’s actions like this that RESTORE confidence and trust. Not stonewalling and ignoring.
agree the guy was looking for attention...and he should not be in law enforcement.
Iirc the police chief made an irate, public claim that a McDonald employee wrote on the cop’s cup. If he corrected himself and publicly apologized for wrongly maligning the place, I missed it.
You could be right.
I don’t think he has. Instead he used the Obozo playbook of essentially calling this a teachable moment without taking any accountability for how this sordid mess arose through his actions.
The Herington Police Department started this mess and it doesn’t appear they came to this event.
