A New Mexico man has been arrested after a customer at a Sonic restaurant found a bag of cocaine in her hot dog.
Española police said that on May 30, customer Celine Gonzales took a bite of her hot dog and found a bag of white powder, according to KOB.
Police said Gonzales spit out the bag, but did not say if she swallowed any cocaine.
Police responded and conducted a field test to determine the powder was cocaine.
David J. Salazar, 54, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, which is a felony, according to the Rio Grande Sun.
Salazar had been employed as a cook at the restaurant.
The arrest warrant said Salazar told police he bought the cocaine in the parking lot of the restaurant.
Merit Bennett of the Bennett Law Group is representing Gonzales, who is likely to make a claim against Sonic.
