POlice found that Fletcher and Parson were both high on heroin. They also had open sores on their bodies and yet were behind the counter at the pizza chain making food
She would also allegedly prepare food while she had open sores on her body according to FoxNews.
Police went to the pizza chain to verify the accusations for themselves and found Fletcher and Parson, who isn’t an employee of the chain, behind the counter.
Parson was making a pizza with bare hands.
Officers pulled Fletcher and Parson aside for questioning and said they ‘appeared to be impaired,’ with Fletcher later admitting that she was on heroin.
Officers then deployed a K9 to sniff the area of the couple’s vehicle. The dog reportedly indicated the odor of narcotics in the vehicle.
A search of the couple’s car revealed packets of heroin along with syringes.
The restaurant has since fired Fletcher and insists there is no health issue for the public to be concerned about. The health department says the restaurant will be thoroughly cleaned
Cops confirmed that heroin was also being used in the restaurant’s backroom.
The pair have now been arrested and face charges including possession of a syringe and possession of heroin.
Shelby County Health Department said it is still investigating Fletcher and Parson’s health history, including if they had hepatitis C.
Indiana law requires any person in the food service industry with open sores to utilize an impenetrable barrier between the open sores and any food they are handling.
A spokesman said he believes there’s no health risk to the public and the restaurant will be thoroughly cleaned. It is unclear when the restaurant will reopen.
‘It is a safe place to eat and the public has nothing to fear…I would eat there,’ a department spokesman said saying there is no risk to public health and that the restaurant would be thoroughly cleaned.
Fletcher was fired by Little Caesars according to Fox59.
