A 27-year-old man tried to pay for his Wendy’s order with cocaine, Colorado deputies said.
It didn’t go as he planned.
The man pulled up to the drive-through July 10 in Castle Pines, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in an Aug. 21 Facebook post.
He asked if he could pay for his meal with drugs, then showed the Wendy’s worker a “white powdery substance resembling cocaine,” deputies said.
The fast-food worker told him no, and he said “he’d wait for them if they changed their mind” and went into the restaurant, deputies said.
Deputies said they looked in his vehicle and saw a white substance “lined out” on a phone “in plain view.”
They also found “baggies for distribution, a scale and several alcohol shooters, which is in violation of his active protection order,” authorities said.
The substance was confirmed to be cocaine, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office confirmed to McClatchy News by phone Aug. 22.
“Pro tip: The drive-thru is for burgers and fries … not narcotics,” deputies said in the post.
Castle Pines is about a 25-mile drive southeast from Denver.
