McDonald’s under investigation after police officer given drink with peroxide-based cleaner
Police have launched an investigation into a McDonald’s restaurant in Iola, Kansas after an Allen County Sheriff’s Office deputy was given a drink containing a peroxide-based cleaner.
Trevor J Hockaday, a 22-year-old McDonald’s employee, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery against a police officer after his coworkers told investigators he added “four little squirts” of a peroxide-based cleaner to the deputy’s drink order last month. Mr Hockaday, who may face felony charges, has reportedly been suspended as McDonald’s conducts its own investigation into the matter, according to a spokesperson.
Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy said the incident has shaken officers throughout the small Kansas city, who now have “concern” over whether their food is safe.
“In today’s day and age, not only us in law enforcement but citizens as a whole, there’s enough going on out there that we have to worry about,” the sheriff told the Wichita Eagle. “Now my guys are cautious about going through that drive through”.
“We all chose this line of work to protect and serve,” Mr Murphy continued. “Now my guys have that concern of – is my food safe?”
In a statement, the owner of the Iola McDonald’s Glen Nichols expressed regret over the allegations against Mr Hockaday, who he described as a “former crew member,” and said food safety was a top priority for the local eatery.
“In our restaurants, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers,” he said. “We are very disappointed by the allegations made regarding the behaviour of one of our former crew members. This kind of behaviour goes against our food safety standards and is not tolerated. Our organisation will take all appropriate measures to gather facts and will work closely with authorities in their investigation.”
At first, the deputy was not immediately aware he had allegedly been provided a contaminated drink, which police said was either a cola or an iced tea. The deputy reportedly experienced “flu-like symptoms” but was not forced to take any time off work.
“He thought he caught the bug,” Mr Murphy said, “but we found out two weeks later when an employee came forward and told the police department.”

Lana Del Rey confronts Kanye: “Your support of [Trump] is a loss for the culture”
Del Rey played Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West’s wedding
Kanye’s latest bit of ill-informed nonsense has drawn the ire of SNL, Captain America’s Chris Evans, and now Lana Del Rey.
In defending his decision to wear a MAGA hat on SNL, Kanye wrote: “This represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs.” He went on to advocate for the abolishment of the 13th amendment — a.k.a. the amendment that ended slavery.
Del Rey, who played Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West’s wedding, took Kanye to task in the comments’ section of a recent Instagram post. “Trump becoming our president was a loss for our country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” Del Rey wrote.
“I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level,” she added. “Delusions of Grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism — none of which would be a talking point if we weren’t speaking about the man leading our country.”
“If you think it’s alright to support someone who believe it’s OK to grab a woman by the pussy just because he’s famous — then you need an intervention as much as he does — something so many narcissists will never get because there just isn’t enough help for the issue,” Del Rey concluded.
Previously, Del Rey encouraged her fans to cast a witch spell on Trump. If Kanye isn’t careful, he himself could be subjected to Del Rey’s black magic.

Feuds Asia Argento Debuts New Vengeance Tattoo of Bloody Dagger, Tells Rose McGowan ‘Bye Bye’
A permanent reminder. Asia Argento sent a clear message to her former friend Rose McGowan while getting a symbolic tattoo of vengeance.
The Italian-born actress, 43, showed off her new ink in a series of photos posted to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 29.
“Bye bye @rosemcgowan Opens a New Window. ,” she wrote on a picture of her foot being inked with a dagger by tattoo artist Marco Manzo.
She showed off the finished product in a subsequent Story with a snap of the dagger above a sole drop of blood on the side of her foot, on which she wrote “Significato: vendetta consumata” — an Italian phrase meaning “consumed revenge.”
The Executrix actress further hinted at her plans for retaliation against the Charmed alum with a Bible passage from Romans 12:19: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
Argento has been feuding with McGowan, 45, since the Jawbreaker star released a statement Opens a New Window. about the sexual assault allegations made against Argento by former child actor Jimmy Bennett.
“It is a shame that @rosemcgowan Opens a New Window. is not prepared to accept when she is wrong,” Argento tweeted on September 7.
Her message came nearly two weeks after the Brave author released a statement accusing Argento of sending her partner, model Rain Dove, texts in which the Marie Antoinette star revealed that she had slept with Bennett, now 22, and had been receiving inappropriate pictures from the musician since he was 12 years old. “Rain also shared that Asia had stated that she’d been receiving unsolicited nudes of Jimmy since he had been 12. Asia mentioned in these texts that she didn’t take any action on those images,” McGowan said at the time. “No reporting to authorities, to the parents, or blocking of Jimmy’s social media. Not even a simple message ‘Don’t send me these images. They are inappropriate.’”

Khloe Kardashian Blasted By Black Twitter For Claiming She “Don’t See Color”
Fans and haters alike rallied for the dragging.
The debacle started with a message against those racist remarks.
“I dislike the fact that people are allowed to comment on my daughter’s skin color but as soon as I comment kindly back and praise her for all that she is, the comment gets erased. If you have the courage to post your nasty criticism please allow one to defend or comment back”
She then slipped into dangerous territory when responding to one of her fan’s supportive message. In an attempt to speak of unity, Khloe claimed that her family simply doesn’t see color.
“I try to put myself in their shoes &maybe they were brought up in a different type of household then I was. So instead of shaming I try to educate. In our household we do not see color. We see emotion and action. We see love. We feed off of energy”
In response, people clapped back at the social media star while pointing out that her mindset is dismissive rather than inclusive.

Uhhhh, Samantha Markle Just Issued a Dramatic Public Apology to Meghan Markle on TV
Samantha Markle is in England attempting to see her estranged half-sister Duchess Meghan Markle (hah, good luck with that), and naturally she’s biding her time by appearing on TV. Because why not!
In a segment on Jeremy Vine’s talk show, Samantha expressed regret over how she’s acted (reminder: she recently called Meghan the “DuchASS”), and decided to issue a public apology directly to her sister. Who probably wasn’t watching, but hey—you never know!
“I would just say that there is so much water under the bridge and so much has spun out of control that was never intended to,” Samantha said. “And you know, I think everybody was hurt not being included or invited to the wedding, but I felt as though it could have all been nipped in the bud had everyone been included, and we all just agreed to move forward with positive resolve. The hurt feelings wouldn’t have snowballed, but believe it or not, it doesn’t mean that we love you any less, I just think that families can be this way when there’s confusion and people are hurt. So moving forward, I apologize and wish things could be different.”
Hmmm…this seems pretty sincere! But then again, is calling someone “The DuchASS” really forgivable? IDEK.

5-month-old boy drowns in tub while father plays video game
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Authorities say an Alabama man arrested in the suspected drowning death of his infant son told investigators he placed the child in a tub of running water and forgot about the baby while playing a video game.
Sheriff’s officials in Birmingham say 23-year-old Cordarius Cotton is charged with reckless manslaughter in the death of the 5-month-old boy.
A police statement released Sept 25 says deputies answering a call earlier in the week about a medical emergency arrived at a home to find a child who wasn’t breathing. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The statement says Cotton told investigators he turned on bath water and left to play a video game, forgetting about the child.
Authorities haven’t released the child’s name. Court records aren’t available to show whether Cotton has a lawyer.

Kellyanne Conway: ‘I’m a victim of sexual assault’
Kellyanne Conway cleared her throat for what she was about to say.
“I’m a victim of sexual assault,” President Trump’s adviser told CNN on Sunday.
Conway and anchor Jake Tapper were discussing the political edges of sexual assault allegations against Brett M. Kavanaugh in the wake of the Supreme Court nominee’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
A final vote on his nomination has been delayed to allow time for the FBI to investigate those allegations.
“I feel very empathetic, frankly, for victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and rape,” Conway said during the interview on “State of the Union.”
Then she paused and made her personal revelation.
“This is the first time I’ve ever heard you talk about something personal like that, and I’m really sorry,” said Tapper, who, like Conway herself, appeared taken aback.
