A McDonald’s employee has been arrested for allegedly peddling smack instead of Big Macs.
After an early release from prison for intent to deliver heroin, Theodore L. Upshaw was busted last week for selling heroin on the job.
Upshaw, 28, was hired at a Murrysville, PA McDonald’s after a three-year sentence for drug possession. After selling 20 stamp bags of heroin to a police informant, Upshaw was swiftly arrested in the parking lot of his job. Although the last transaction took place in the parking lot during his work break, Upshaw sold heroin to the police informant inside the fast food chain on various occasions.
Upon arrest, still dressed in his McDonald’s uniform, Upshaw was charged with possession of heroin, possession with intent to deliver, and delivery of heroin. Since he is on parole for the previous conviction, a detainer has been entered for alleged violations of his terms of supervision. Upshaw is currently being held on a $50,000 bond.
