Inquiry Finds 'Nothing Criminal' In Likely Rat Poison At Fuddruckers

Anne Arundel County police have closed their investigation into a food contamination incident that closed the Fuddruckers restaurant in Annapolis for a day last week.

After "numerous" interviews, county detectives found "nothing criminal" in the appearance of suspected rat poison on trays of hamburger stored in a walk-in refrigerator, said police spokesman Justin Mulcahy. The matter was handed back to the county health department.

Health officials could offer no explanation as to how the poison came to be found on food trays, but suggested that employees, rather than a professional exterminator, were responsible.
