A New Jersey chef is accused of cooking up a revenge sandwich for a local cop.
Ryan Burke, 26, was busted for slipping "body hair" into a snack prepared for a police officer who had previously arrested him, according to Evesham police.
The cook spent four hours in jail on aggravated assault and other charges after his Feb. 21 arrest.
But Burke, a seven-year veteran of the kitchen at Good Foods to Go, denied the charges.
"That's ridiculous," Burke, of Stratford, told the Courier-Post, a south Jersey newspaper.
"I'm not that kind of person."
Police tell a different story: The unidentified officer ordered a bagel sandwich, which came out with the unwanted ingredient.
Burke was arrested in the kitchen about 30 minutes after the food was delivered, police said.
In addition to his arrest, Burke was also fired from his job.
"This is absurd," Burke told the Courier-Post. "They decided to ruin my life."
Burke, the married father of a 5-month-old daughter, remains unemployed.
He was arrested by the officer one year ago after failing to pull over for a traffic violation.
Don’t they need proof that it was his hair and it was put ther on purpose, not by accident?
Nawww. Just the cops assumption/opinion, that’s all.
I’m sure the cook didn’t want this to become a pubic issue.
In Turkey, it’s considered a delicacy- the hairier the bagel, the better.
What’s the big deal...people always order bagels and locks ;-)
Oh!
