LASD Investigating After Tampon Is Allegedly Found In Off-Duty LAPD Officer’s Starbucks Drink
Last week, an off-duty LAPD officer allegedly found a tampon halfway through drinking his Frappuccino. Apparently, this happened at a Starbuck’s licensee store inside of a Target in Diamond Bar.
Sources told Fox News reporter Bill Melugin that the cop purchased his Frapp Friday at the California Starbucks. He reportedly used his police credit union debit card to buy the drink and says he found the feminine hygiene product inside. Melugin reports that the officer angrily went back inside to confront the staff once he made the discovery, and gave the cup back at some point.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirms their Walnut station took a report and they’re now investigating. LASD also tells FOX 11 that detectives have pulled the surveillance video and are now in the process of reviewing it. “This disgusting assault on a police officer was carried out by someone with hatred in their heart and who lacks human decency. We hope they are publicly exposed, fired, arrested, and prosecuted for their cowardly and repugnant actions,” The LA Police Protective League told reporter Bill Melugin.
UPDATE: We've since learned that because this Starbucks is a licensee location inside a Target, they're technically Target employees. When we called the Target, a female employee said she was aware of the incident. Starbucks following up with us in the morning. @FOXLA

Now although this seems shocking, some people are not as surprised following a similar incident that recently involved three NYPD officers. After the recent poising claims, it turned out that it wasn’t intentional, just a mistake from an employee who did not properly clean their shake machine before serving the officers.
To make matters worse, there are now reports stating that those cops never became ill and that the department just “overreacted” with a tweet that stated cops were “under attack.”
