OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) ― An 18-year-old fast-food employee is facing drug charges after allegedly hiding marijuana in a Happy Meal.

Ottawa Police Chief Brian Zeilmann says a man and his three children went through a McDonald's drive-thru Tuesday to order Happy Meals.

Zeilmann says one of the children -- an eight-year-old girl -- got a lighter, pipe, and bag of marijuana in her Happy Meal. Her father went to the police.

McDonald's employee Brandon Scott of Ottawa was arrested Tuesday and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Zeilmann says McDonald's owners cooperated with the investigation that led to the arrest.
