MILTON, W.Va. — Milton police proclaimed to the public via Facebook that marijuana is not an ingredient in a Wendy’s Baconator.

Officers recovered a small bag of marijuana during a traffic stop after a K-9 detected it in the burger . When officers asked the suspect about it, he told them, “I just got that burger - they must have put it on there when I got it.”

The department also noted that “marijuana is not a standard ingredient for a Baconator.”

Some commenters on the post chastised the department for giving the suspect a ticket and possibly ruining his future career goals. The department fired back at the critics, “I believe the F*** the Police tattoo on the gentleman’s face may hinder his ability to gain employment more than this simple possession ticket.”

The post garnered over 11,000 reactions and 12,000 shares.
