Bad Taste

|

About 12 Ottawa, Ontario, police, many wearing ski masks, burst into a local Indian restaurant. Looking for drugs, they cut holes in the walls and ceiling and even searched food. They found nothing, just as they did each of the previous three times this year they've raided the restaurant. What prompted the latest raid? Police said they observed cook Michael McPherson handing a package to someone. McPherson says he does that several times each day, and the packages contain salt, pepper, and condiments.
