BURGER KING SERVING POT BURGERS…YUMMY!
By Fayner | March 10, 2008
It’s about time people started fighting back against them damn sober police officers!
LOS LUNAS, N.M. (KRQE) - A pueblo police officer already mad at being served a burger spiked with marijuana is even more upset that the two men responsible got probation instead of jail sentences.
Henry Gabaldón and a fellow Isleta pueblo officer ate those burgers while on duty. Both got high and could have hurt themselves or someone else that night, he said.
Gabaldón called the crime a personal attack that had no consequences for the attackers.
“The message was it’s OK to hurt an officer,” Gabaldón said.
At first Gabaldón was very matter of fact about what happened on that October night in 2006.
He told KRQE News 13 how he and a fellow officer went to the Los Lunas Burger King and got Whoppers that had secretly been filled with pot.
“There was a lot of marijuana on the hamburgers,” he said.
But it quickly became apparent how personal this is to Gabaldón.
“In the end we have to go home, too,” he said. “We have families, and that is what it was, to all police officers, just a slap in the face.”
The two men who laced the burgers, Justin Armijo and Robert Nuckols, both pleaded guilty to the crime.
Armijo was sentenced in November, and Nuckols was sentenced Monday. Both will serve no prison time only probation.
Gabaldón took issue with how District Judge John Pope handled the sentencings.
“He looked at it like it was nothing,” the officer said.
In court Monday Pope said he knew the officers are not pleased.
“I don’t blame them for being mad at me,” Pope said.
He then told Nuckols, who admitted being high that night but saying he has since quit drugs, “I would rather you recognize that promise and make good on that promise as a way of making amends.”
For Gabaldón, who said he or someone else could have died that night, that’s not good enough. He said he constantly ponders the what-ifs of what might have happened.
News 13 was unable to reach Pope tonight to see if he had anything else to say.
While Armijo and Nuckols admitted to the crime, each blamed the other for it.
