In what sounds like the set-up for a pretty fun movie, a Maryland cop went undercover as a Burger King employee in order to catch two workers at the fast-food restaurant dealing drugs. Police got a complaint that BK employees were selling drugs in the restaurant's parking lot, so an officer actually applied for a job there and, after his application was successful, he was able to buy drugs "several" times from his new colleagues, 23-year-old Tommy Lee Miller and 28-year-old Jonathan Brook Moser, police say. Both are now facing various drug-related charges, the Frederick News-Post reports. (More weird crimes stories.)
