The insane liberal war against law and order has reached Utah, it seems.
A police officer’s drink was poisoned at a Subway restaurant drive-through in Layton, Utah on Monday, authorities say.
According to The Associated Press, the police officer knew something was wrong after he took three sips of the lemonade he ordered from the sandwich shop in northern Utah.
He struggled to find the brake pedal of his patrol car at a red light. When he arrived at the police station, he drifted off and couldn’t answer questions.
His colleagues sent him to the hospital and later found out the police sergeant’s drink had been spiked with methamphetamine and THC.
Investigators believe it was done intentionally by an 18-year-old Subway employee, who was arrested on suspicion of surreptitiously giving a poisonous substance.
Tanis Ukena denied the allegations but acknowledged what investigators learned after watching surveillance video: He was the only one to prepare and handle the beverage.
He posted $10,000 bail and left jail. He has not been formally charged yet, and it’s not known if he has an attorney. No listed phone number for him could be found.
The unnamed sergeant was released from the hospital Monday night and was taking Tuesday to recover, but he was expected to be fine, police Lt. Travis Lyman said.
Investigators don’t know why Ukena drugged the drink but are investigating if the sergeant was targeted because he’s a police officer, Lyman said.
He said officers generally enjoy a good relationship with residents in the city of 74,000 people north of Salt Lake City, but animosity and distrust of police has been growing around the country in the wake of a number of officer-involved shootings.
“It’s not a reach to make that connection based on the climate right now,” Lyman said.
Subway spokesman Shawn Cook said the company is cooperating with authorities and hoping the sergeant makes a quick recovery. Cook would not say if Ukena is still employed.
“We are shocked by these charges,” Cook said in an emailed statement. “The restaurant owners are working closely with the police in their investigation and will take appropriate action.”
Lyman said police have not had any previous problems with the Subway or with Ukena, outside of stopping him for speeding.
The state crime lab is testing the drink to determine the amount of drugs it contained.
The incident has raised eyebrows for Layton police officers who commonly eat at drive-thrus as they move from call to call, Lyman said.
“This is pretty surprising to us, certainly,” Lyman said. “I imagine officers will be bringing lunch from home for some time.”

Society is poisoned!
This kid is screwwwwwwed in the big house. What the hell was you thinking?
Thank a Liberal for that.
This Bastard should be SHOT.
Finest!!!!! Most of these cops are bigger criminals than the criminals they arrest. Mix all of them a drink.
To Some extent I have to agree. I tried to be a good deputy.
ANDY BUCKMICHAEL – What king of crap-hole are you? Next time you need help fearing for your life – call Black Lives Matter! I agree that a very few miscreants slip past the vetting process of hiring. Once they show their true nature, they are booted! The majority of Law Enforcement serve with pride, honor, dedication and will willing sacrifice their life for you! So, quit these butt-wipe comments!
Thank you Marvin, I was about to post a similar response to Andie!
Same here.
Marvin-
What you wrote is not always true; youtube will show you videos(if you can use the search-window properly) where a MULTITUDE of officers caught BEATING handcuffed suspects – sometimes TO DEATH – are shown to juries, yet the charges are dismissed, dropped, or the officers found not guilty.
Do you believe that this is fair or just? Do you believe that such officers should be allowed to retain their positions?
You crazy sick jerk I hope you get years behind bars. Your one sick pathetic nutcase and I hope you get what you deserve, If not, I’ll start a petition to see that you are prosecuted.
So Marvin, these videos of Law Enforcement beating handcuffed perps to death. Are these in Russia, China, North Korea or Iran???????
Hope you never need a Law Enforcement help in any way, you just may not get it.
Totally agree Andy.
Next time you need a first responder,get on the phone and call hillary clinton,you dumb ass!!!!!
Ditto Wayne!
HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOUWAYNE
I think you ought to shut your mouth Obama.Had enough of you liberal b_____ds and your lawlessness.
You are the reason this country is going down I hope you enjoy your stay in hell with Satan your master hard to believe you hate yourself that much an think being bad is good what a Fool
You sir should be ashamed of your disgusting comment…..I hope the police see this and come to visit you at your home……you jerk!

ANDY, GO AND FUCK YOURSELF REALLY HARD . YOU FUCKING DEGENERATE , MOST COPS ARE
PRETTY GOOD , YOUR ALL WAYS GOING TO HAVE A FEW ROTTEN APPLES IN ANY
ORGANIZATION !!! NEXT TIME YOU NEED HELP DON’T CALL A COP CALL THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
BY THE WAY , GOOD LUCK ASS HOLE !!!!!!!!!!
I agree. I am so sick and tired of hearing this Bullsh-t about black lives, I could vomit. If these nigahs just get out and find jobs instead of demonstrating in the streets, killing other niggahs. When a black kills another black is it OK? Bunch of hypocrites!!!
Shut up andy ! Maybe you might the next one to get a drink like that. Lets see how you like being chosen at random for something you never did. Its called guilt by association. Im waiting to hear you laugh dummie.
You are a fool unto your self. I guess you want a lawless country like Zimbabwe or the whole Middle East. I can not believe how ignorant and stupid you are.
Buckmichael- YOU are seriously sick in your head idiot!
There’s bad cops But not a Bunch of them I support the Whole Police force, Rather than Black Lowlifes don’t matter, and Obama. {That sicked the cop Killers on the police}
We have great police in Pearland Texas!! Your negative comments are unwarranted. Hope you never need the men and women in blue!!
You best stay home, for the rest of your life. Should you wander around in public you never know what might happen: a tree branch could fall on you, a mad driver could run you over on the side-walk, a Pit-Bull could jump his fence and rip you to pieces, you just never know. Tread litely
Now there’s a man that has no idea what he’s talking about. So I guess your an expert on police officers.
Hey dhead, you will be hunted down by the PROPER authorities and dutifully dealt with like the rabid dog that you are.
u are disgusting,just obey the laws of ur country
Andy are you telling us that you need to be questioned by law enforcement? You appear to be crying for help. FYI your IP address has been located. You can expect a visit from your local police dept.
Your sick, get help!
Willing to bet you’ve had more than your fair share of police interaction with a comment like that. Maybe you should stop committing crimes.
It only takes a few bad ones to get the news to make things worse. Grow up, people like him are helping to take second amendment rights away from all. There are more good police officers than bad ones and many give up their lives and family to protect.
These people who hate cops always try to make it out that all police officers are the same.
Yes there are bad apples in every batch, but how can all be put in the same basket?
People are individuals and there are the officers who love their work and the people they help and protect. You have got to be pretty small minded when all officers are lumped together as bad cops. We need to stand behind our police and support them, because maybe one day these cop haters will be calling on these officers to help them.
God bless our police officers!
This fast food employee doesn’t know this officer or anything about him. For example he does not know if he has a family or how much they love and depend upon him. This thoughtless young man, who will likely lose his job and his reputation among the ‘normal’, boring part of our citizenry, but he will enjoy hero status among some of our population that relish this criminal behavior. Nice work bozo. Good luck finding a decent job should you ever become an adult. Most people don’t support cowards.
The next time you need assistance call someone from Black Lives Matter
and see what happens.They couldn’t care less about the black victims in Detroit and Chicago.
Those of you that criticise the police need to wise up !!!!! Black Lives Matter is being
funded by George Soros the international trouble maker who pays to provoke chaos
and want a one world government.
I read the comments of Andy B. and find myself responding to this vile comment. Never before have I responded but these comments from a mental degenerate are shameful. Police Officers are 99.999% great people. Those few bad apples are discharged quickly when found. Support our wonderful police officers, soldiers and all those who protect the North American way of life. Unfortunately, the crazy, extreme left resorts to stupidity, violence and intimidation or any other means to place ordinary citizens in a position of control.
The vast majority of these left wing advocates, the main stream press and socialists are seeking control. Please resist.
Bill
Thank you. Our police officers need and DESERVE our support and respect for the work that they do to keep us and our communities safe. It has always been dangerous work and now it is even more so.
If he is shown in the Video putting something in the officers drink, he should be charged with attempted murder of a police officer. He had no way of knowing what thise drugs could have done to anyone. What if the officer was on his way home and was going to give it to a child? And Andy, I am assuming from your tone you have had run Ins with authority figures. Only the ones in garbage complain about the smell.
Keep 11 million Mexicans here and deport 11 million LIBERALS. Problem solved !
AMEN!
The police are our help when we are in danger, when we are lost,when a family member or friend is missing, something is amiss in the neighborhood, your car konks out on the highway…..
I am so greatful to have these brave men and women there, for all of us
I am with the police, The lawless Democrat party is the biggest Criminal entity since the Mafia.Look at all the people that have died that were controversial but close to the Clinton’s that have died. As far as Obama’s Government it is a criminal entity as well, available for Clinton’s to use with no limits. The worst thing that could happen in Obama’s eye’s is a Trump win. You will see Obama do things he has never done before. At the very least he will be mad as hell. But both of these loser Criminal Liars are against the Police. What kind of a country would this be with out the Police.
When all of the dust settles about the “good and bad” officers the ending will be amazing. Most of our “good” officers are on beats and answer calls just like a “bad” one. My question is, how many times per shift does the “good” bite his lips trying to work with scum, crazies and total dirt bags, at the same time warding off war with do goods ???not doing good. Just stirring the pot. Until we go back to the old laws, making it a felony to harm or kill officers and then follow through we will never have calm. We’ve let it go to long…..just sayin’.
There’s a “movement” being started around the country…..”light up the sky blue” in August to show support for the law enforcement officers…..started after our president refused to flood the White House in blue after being asked to….although he can light it up in rainbow, pink and purple…..get a blue light for your porch and show support for the law enforcement officers who do their best to protect us….mine shines proudly day and night
I filled in the required fields…why is it not being posted??????
Obviously this is the first time I’ve done this….kind of screwed it up!
If the employee is found to have poisoned the drink of the police officer he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I’m going to guess this will hurt Subway’s business. If the employee poisoned a police officer what keeps them from doing the same thing to anyone else? This is a crime where the perpetrator needs to be punished severely enough to discourage others from participating in this sort of activity.
The stupid moron who did this should be enroute to prison right now for attempted murder. The intent was obviously there and the jerk needs to pay for a long time. If you can’t trust people who work in restaurants and fast food places, what’s left??? What a dumb piece of humanity!!!!!
I am disgusted by this as much as anyone. But why does this website assume the person who did is is LIBERAL? That is quite a stretch, but considering the source of the information, it doesn’t surprise me that the want to inflame their base by calling the perp a “liberal.” Where is your proof??????
Not for nothing….but before you string this kid up, be SURE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that he did this. Meth and THC are NOT poisons, unless is outrageous levels. This kid is 18; most 18 year olds today can’t even pee straight, no less figure out how to mix Meth and THC into a drink. Besides, meth S T I N K S, and there is no way the officer should have missed it when he took the first sip. Don’t get me wrong…. if this kid did this…string him up by the balls; but be sure we don’t have a Munchhausen case here. There are video cameras EVERYWHERE..except inside that Cop car. Is there evidence showing him doing this? I sure hope there is. If this kid did this… he needs to be tuned up, and prison will make him sing a new tune.
