Heroin Orders Placed in Drive-Thru at a Pittsburgh McDonald’s

HeroinCustomers in a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pennsylvania were able to purchase heroin if they said the code words “I’d like to order a toy.” An informant told Allegheny County authorities that a McDonald’s employee in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh was selling the drug out of the restaurant, and undercover agents set up a controlled purchase.

A spokesperson for the Allegheny District Attorney explained that those seeking to buy heroin were told to go through the drive-thru and say the words “I’d like to order a toy.” The customer would then proceed up to the first drive-thru window, hand over the money, and receive a Happy Meal box that contained the heroin. The customer would then leave without going to the second window.

Fast food restaurants are known by law enforcement as places where drugs are sometimes sold. Drug sales and other illicit activities are masked by the constant traffic and fast-paced environment of these establishments.

The Happy Meal box that officers from the Allegheny County District Attorney’s narcotics unit purchased on Wednesday afternoon was found to contain 10 stamp bags of the drug. McDonald’s employee Shania Dennis, 26, of East Pittsburgh was arrested in connection with the operation. An additional 50 bags of heroin were recovered from the suspect. Dennis denied any wrongdoing to reporters as she was led away in handcuffs.

Approximately two weeks ago and twenty miles east of Pennsylvania, another McDonald’s employee was arrested for selling heroin from while working at the restaurant. A confidential informant working with the police bought the drug from Theodore Levon Upshaw, 28, in the parking lot of the restaurant. Previously, the informant had purchased it inside the restaurant several times.

In addition, there have been 22 deaths in the past week in Western Pennsylvania linked to the drug. A single batch had been laced with fentanyl, a painkiller said to be 100 times more potent than morphine, was sold as heroin in bags stamped “Theraflu,” “Bud Ice,” and “Income Tax” but was 10 to 100 times more potent. Detectives do not believe that the Pittsburgh bust is related to any of these deaths.

According to state law enforcement officials, the number of users in Pennsylvania is only behind that of California and Illinois. In Philadelphia, overdoses related to heroin went up 250 percent between 2010 and 2012. The problem stems, according to experts, from abuse of and addiction to prescription painkillers like OxyContin. As an addict’s tolerance to opiates increases, the cheaper and more potent opiate alternative becomes a more efficient way to feed a growing habit.

In addition, Philadelphia has the purest and cheapest heroin in the nation, and it has been said that high purity is a precondition of all drug epidemics. Its purity in Philadelphia in combination with its availability and low price makes the transition to the drug from prescription opioids even easier there. Police say that heroin has become the suburban drug of choice in Philadelphia suburbs. The arrests of the two McDonald’s employees who were allegedly selling the drug from the restaurant, along with the 22 deaths, point out a problem in the Keystone State that many were unaware of.

yikes, sellin H outta mickey d's. sad. the problem in philly is def bad with h; id say newark nj is certainly up there along with baltimore as bigger heroin destinations. they dont call newark brick city for nothin

best dope around is in Philly/Camden. Baltimore got some bullllllshit trust me

Apparently pittsburghs got the best stuff, they have had 22 overdose deaths since jan 19th, apparently its laced with fentanyl and coming in bags stamped phera flu and bud ice.

Wow, talk about a happy meal.

And nothing of value was lost.

Heard about it in the morning fucking classic.

Hopefully they don't mix the bag up with a kids that would be brutal.

There was also a McDonalds worker busted in Murrysville last week for dealing H to an undercover cop while at work. So far (as of 1/29) we've had 25 ODs on this new heroin. TheraFlu and Bud Ice are two of the "brands. The danger is that the stuff is heroin,but it is mixed with Fentanyl.The cops believe that is is synthetically manufactured Fentanyl,which makes it extremely deadly. They busted two small dealers yesterday in unrelated raids,and found the TheraFlu bags in the residences. I'm willing to bet that in addition to these two,every narc on the street is pressing his snitches and "bending the rules" to get a line on the bigger fish.

About 20 years ago we had an epidemic of ODs from Fentanyl laced heroin. The stuff was called China White,but the death toll was more like 8 or 9.

Not one of your better ones, PB.

It's this cold weather, Carm. I'll be much sharper this time next week .

Wow : ( Fuck some smoke and beer Is all you need fuckin dirtbags

Camden has some husky bags. I've never done heroin and don't condone it. But if my son is/was going thru withdrawl I'd drive to the projects and buy it for him. My son's hooked on drugs, only if someone gave the kid a second chance he could make something of his life. The judicial system really has it's downfalls.

Drumroll! PB I get your happy they didn't give it to your boy Jose.

they have arrested 6 people so far connected to the heroin, but whoevers selling it can just rebrand it and put it back out on the street.

not surprising. heroin started picking up pretty badly in this area around the early 2000's. stuff like this has been going on for sometime. 5 people I know from high school are already dead from od's. that molly shit is the big thing now a days too. same old story different drug, before it was powder cocaine, crack, and extacy pills runnin around with the ravers.

are you trying to call me a dirtbag when your name is joey smokes balls? lol

lol joeysmokesballs123!!

I dont use heroin but I used to and I am in no way glorifying the drug. I just know where the good dope is located. And that is Camden. Phillys dope is decent, but theres nothing like Camden. Baltimore has good dope but they charge 20 for a bag you could get for 10 in Camden... If I was still using and in NJ I would be at 6th and York in North Camden. Or 6th and pine in south camden

6th and York has been shut down

I don't think people can appreciate the amount of dope that was sold there back in the day. Millions of dollars a year and that isn't exaggerating either. They shut down a few years ago. As a matter of fact, most of York Street is shut down now. If you read the paper a couple of months ago they took down everyone on 4th and York. They were the two biggest drug sets in all of Camden for a while.

that shit was poppin back in 2011 when I last went there. "Tap out" was the last stuff I used and I think i went to 5th & State, that was probably the best shit ive ever had. They always set back up though. People have told me shit got shut down but by summer time they will be at it again. its too easy with all them alleys. South camden and Pollock always were poppin too but everybody thinks theres only good dope out north. WRONG, i used to get Pink Panther for 5$ in Pollock right on Chase and Lewis... Just driving down York is so miserable, as is most of the city.

Oh yea, Cant forget Chestnut on broadway. "Da Bomb" . They been there for like 10 years with the same stamp.

Typically they do set right back up. At least on 6th street they haven't (the alley behind the houses was bulldozed). I know some of the people who used to run that set and they said they were going to take their money and run. No point in trying to set up somewhere else. They made a LOT of money and didn't do a ton of time. That set will not be back up and running. I wouldn't be surprised if 4th and York sets back up. By the way, how could you forget Roydon st? Lot of dope moved out there too.

found this story from last january, the netas street gang was busted for running the heroin in some of the neighbourhoods you guys mentioned.

Yes that is the 4th and Roydon set. Actually the leader of that set, Noel Gonzales died of natural causes last year. There are people who are starting to plead out in that case. That set wasn't run by the Netas, Noel was a member when he was locked up before so they threw the label on there for headlines. One of the Case Managers I know pretty well, Freddy Alvarado. I'm pretty sure he is still in Camden County although it's been a while since I have gotten a call from him.
