Customers at the Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg, Ky.,
alerted authorities after they spotted something they probably wish they
hadn't: restaurant employees wheeling roadkill back to the kitchen.
Local CBS
affiliate WYMT interviewed
the witnesses. The roadkill was apparently a deer stuffed into a trash can.
"There was actually a blood trail they were mopping up behind the garbage
can," customer Katie Hopkins said. "There was like a tail, and like a
foot and a leg sticking out of the garbage can, and they wheeled it straight
back into the kitchen."
Local health
inspector Paul Lawson was called in
to investigate. Lawson said the restaurant owners
told him they didn't know they were doing anything wrong. "They said they
didn't know they weren't allowed to do that. So that makes me concerned that
maybe they could have before. They didn't admit to doing it before." The
owner said he didn't plan to serve the deer to customers—instead he planned to
use it to feed his family.
The
restaurant has been temporarily shut down but will be eligible
to reopen as
soon as it passes another health inspection and proves it has been washed and
sanitized.
