Police arrested three employees Wednesday, alleging they put Miralax, a laxative, on one pizza, WFAA reported. The employees were fired from the restaurant, the television station reported. Their names have not been released by police because they are all minors, according to WFAA.
Springfield’s health inspector was contacted after the incident and pulled the health permit for the business until an inspection was made, the Star-Telegram reported.
