Couple find drugs on their taco meal
LAKEWOOD, COLO. --- A Colorado couple found an unusual topping on their order of tacos: a small bag of marijuana.
They discovered the drugs with their order from a Del Taco restaurant and called police, Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis said.
Dennis Klermund, 26, who police say waited on the husband when he picked up the food Oct. 16, faces charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Mr. Klermund initially denied any knowledge of the drugs but later admitted the bag was meant for a friend after a search dog found more marijuana in a locker, police said.
Mr. Klermund no longer works at the restaurant, manager Ulises Montero said. A message left for Mr. Klermund was not returned.

Mr. Braley pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of grand larceny in the theft of $1,300 worth of property in a car break-in, marijuana possession and three violations of his conditions of release on earlier charges.
Washington County Deputy State's Attorney Bob Menzel told the judge, "This is a defendant that's just not getting it."
