A 7-year-old girl had finished her Happy Meal when she opened a small plastic house and told her aunt that someone had put “rocks” inside.
Brittany Fitzpatrick told FOX61 she took the toy from her niece. The material inside looked green and leafy, and Fitzpatrick believed it was marijuana.
The meal came from a McDonald’s on South Main Street in Middletown, Connecticut, on Aug. 28. Fitzpatrick had taken her young children and niece for an after-school treat and brought the food home.
She kept the toy away from the girl and called Middletown Police. Police took the toy and its contents.
The family’s hospital concern was hypothetical. Her mother, Shelby Winborne, said the girl knew not to put the material in her mouth, and no one was harmed. The adults were still trying to explain why something meant for adults had ended up in the girl’s Happy Meal.
