Couple Gets Bag of Pot With Taco Order at Restaurant

Saturday, October 25, 2008

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, said Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis.

Twenty-six-year-old Dennis Klermund, who police say waited on the husband when he picked up food Oct. 16, faces charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Klermund initially denied any knowledge but admitted the bag was meant for a friend after a search dog found the more marijuana in a locker, police said.

Klermund no longer works at the restaurant, said owner Ulises Montero. A message left for Klermund was not returned.
