Come for the crappy Mexican food, stay for the
strip search.The latest incident occurred last week in Arizona, when a Taco Bell manager received a call from a man claiming to be a police officer who urged the manager to strip-search a female whom the caller said had stolen a pocketbook.
Authorities said the male manager pulled aside a 17-year-old female customer who fit the description given by the caller and then carried out the search, which included a body cavity search.
"We have a very bizarre situation occurring not only in Fountain Hills, Ariz., but across the nation, a very bizarre scheme," said Sheriff Joseph Arpaio of Marciopa County, Ariz. "My detectives are working full time on this investigation."
You should always be a bit skeptical when someone wearing a paper hat wants you to consent to a strip search.
Always ask for some ID if you're a 17 year old girl and someone asks to see your taco.
