Update Tuesday (11/29): The person accused of putting mustard into the drinks of two law enforcement officers in Topeka could face a criminal charge. Topeka's

reports a charge of criminal threat is being considered.

Tuesday, Eyewitness News spoke with Attorney Charley O'Hara about the case. He says it appears to be a food and drug violation.

"When you go into any establishment, you're supposed to get what you ordered. You're not supposed to have it tampered with and do other things to you And I think that's a crime if someone intentionally does that."

O'Hara says if convicted of a Class A misdemeanor, the person responsible for putting mustard in the officers' drinks could spend up to 12 months in jail and pay a $2,500 fine.

Topeka's

says it is investigating reports an employee at the North Topeka McDonald's put mustard in two law enforcement officers' soft drinks.

The station says reports circulated on social media that a Topeka Police officer found mustard in his soft drink when he went through the McDonald's drive-thru, in the 2000 block of NW Topeka Blvd. The Kansas Highway Patrol confirmed that a trooper also recently found mustard in his drink from the restaurant, WIBW reports.

In response to the incidents, a worker at the McDonald's is out of a job and the Shawnee County District Attorney's Office is investigating.

WIBW says it reached out to the Topeka Police Dept. which declined to comment on the incident. The station reports that the Kansas Highway Patrol said they alerted management when it happened.

WIBW says Dobski and Associates, owners of the North Topeka McDonald's, issued the following statement through McDonald's Corporate:

"All customers, including local law enforcement officers who protect and serve our communities, are always welcome at our restaurants. Immediately upon learning of this complaint, we began our own internal investigation to gather the facts. We take these complaints very seriously and will take swift action once our investigation is complete.”

The station reports the McDonald's franchise owner also says the worker responsible no longer works at the restaurant.
