West Virginia Record:
A Parkersburg police officer is suing a McDonald’s restaurant for effectively turning his drive-thru order into a crime scene.
Matthew W. Board filed suit against TMT Enterprises Inc., a McDonald’s franchisee, in Wood Circuit Court on Oct. 14. In his complaint, Board alleges a TMT employee served him food with an open wound on his hand in 2008.
According to his suit, Board went through the McDonald’s drive-thru on Ohio Ave. about 4 a.m. on Oct. 17, 2008. At the time, Board was on-duty as a Parkersburg police officer.
After preceding to the window to pick-up his order, Board alleges he noticed the employee “had a large cut on his hand that was bleeding significantly.” Still, Board took the bag containing his order, and parked his car nearby to eat it.
