(Wanatah, IN) - A Whopper of discovery was made at a local Burger King.

 

According to La Porte County Police, a 31-year-old man went inside the restroom at the Burger King in Wanatah last weekend. Resting on the toilet paper dispenser in his stall was a loaded handgun.

 

La Porte County Police say the man took the bullets out of the Smith and Wesson semi-automatic, placed the gun back on the toilet paper dispenser, and told the fast-food restaurant manager about the gun.

 

Police then showed up and took possession of the firearm for safekeeping. 

 

Detectives might have to play a little “ketchup” if they want to find out who left the gun in the bathroom stall. There were few, if any, immediate clues on who came into the Burger King with the weapon and went without it.

 

In September, a loaded gun was found in the bathroom of the Wanatah Burger King by a 10-year old. Police traced that gun to a 60-year-old man from Jackson City, IL.
