Two women who reportedly asked for free food at the Roanoke Avenue McDonald’s and then mooned the employees for refusing their request face fentanyl possession counts, including a trafficking count against one of them.
The crime took place shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday when Officer S. Langley responded to McDonald’s about a driver coming through the drive-through and asking for free food and then exposing themselves when refused, Roanoke Rapids police Chief Bobby Martin said in a statement.
Langley and Officer C. Roberts located the vehicle parked in front of the business.
When officers approached the vehicle, the driver had the door open and her feet were on the ground as if she was going to get out. Her passenger was sitting next to her.
Langley recognized the driver, identified as Jessica Harvey, 28, of Roanoke Rapids, was reportedly under the influence of a narcotic from her actions and how she was talking to officers.
The driver was checked by officers at the scene and while speaking with her they noticed a small folded piece of paper in her clear fanny pack. It appeared to be consistent with fentanyl packaging.
The folded paper contained a white powdery substance that was consistent with fentanyl.
Harvey was detained so a search of the vehicle could be completed.
