An Alabama church group got the shock of their lives when they found marijuana in their pizza. It happened at a youth outing in Florence the day before Thanksgiving, and police still aren't sure where the pot came from.
The pizza came from a Papa John's restaurant in Florence, who issued a statement to a local TV station saying, "We have investigated [this matter] internally and have no reason to believe that the product tampering occurred at our restaurant or by any of our employees. We are cooperating with the police in their processes to get to the bottom of this claim."
Authorities did say an off duty Florence Police Officer ordered the pizza. "I don't believe at this time they knew it was a police officer who ordered it," said Sgt. Rolando Bogran, of the Florence Police Department.
According to the FPD, it was not until the pizza was already eaten that someone realized there was something in it. "Whatever the outcome of the investigation, it will be bad-- it hurts the community, hurts everyone, but most of all some people could have been hurt in the incident," said Sgt. Brogan.
Several of the youth who ate the pizza were taken to the hospital to be checked out. None were found to have ill effects of eating the pizza.
