The man said the incident had started in a back room, where Howard had retrieved the cocaine from a cabinet or small refrigerator. He said Howard weighed the cocaine on a scale in front of him.
Police executed a search warrant later at Spartan, where a bag of cocaine was found inside of another bag, which also contained a document confirming that Howard was a patient of a local medical clinic. The bag was found stashed above a refrigerator in the food preparation area at Spartan.
Along with cocaine, police found a digital scale and two 9mm handguns and ammunition for the guns.
I ran the story by Youngest Daughter, who graduated from a culinary arts program. She wondered about food safety there. What sorts of mistakes might be made?
FWIW, the company announced that the actions of “temporary employee” Eric C. Howard, ... “in no way approved or allowed by our corporation in anyway.” And that they'd never seen any cocaine. No word on whether they ever tried to use small bags of flour...

See, that's what real diversity is all about. No one but a professional restaurant person would immediately wonder "what about food safety?" I almost giggled at the tunnel-vision of it. But when you look at it, that's a very important consideration, and her perspective is the sort of thing that keeps the tribe healthy.
Think of it as "value-added:" everybody gets the crime aspect. Her too.
