The Falls River Major Crimes Division has cleared Taco Bell in the case of the spiked taco. "Police reported "an opiate" was found in the half-eaten taco a Fall River man said made him sick after eating at the Taco Bell." Unfortunately for local Fall River lawyers, it seems like the dude spiked his own taco. After the half-eaten morsel was analyzed at the state crime lab, the opiates in the taco were confirmed, but the alleged taco victim, "Phillip Daggett, 27, has declined to cooperate in the investigation and has refused to speak with a detective assigned to the department's Major Crimes Division."

“As of right now, he’s not returning our calls,” [Police] said.”

Police have cleared the Taco Bell of any wrong-doing, and Phillip will most likely be charged with filing a false police report. Bad consumer! Bad! —MEGHANN MARCO
