It happened at the Burger King on Main Street at about 11:30 p.m.

Investigators said two restaurant employees put the pot in the burgers and served them to two officers from the Isleta Police Department.

After noticing something was wrong, police said the Isleta officers ran a field test on the burgers and they came back positive for marijuana.

"They consumed about half the hamburgers each before they found that there was something in the food, " said Los Lunas police Lt. Joe Sanchez.

Los Lunas investigators said a total of three employees are facing charges, including marijana posession and aggravated battery on an officer.
