Five Kentucky police officers say they were refused service at a Louisville Taco Bell. The kitchen workers in the fast food restaurant wanted to “mess with them.”

The Louisville Police Department says the incident happened Aug. 18 when the officers came in during their lunch break. Fraternal Order of Police president Dave Mutchler says an employee told the officers he wasn’t taking their order and walked away.

The officers then overheard a conversation between two other employees in the kitchen who said they were going to “mess with them.” At that point, the officers decided to leave.

The Taco Bell has apologized to the police officers. The police officers, better people than the Taco Bell employees, told the franchise manager they did not want the employees fired. 

The franchise sent tacos over to the police station to make amends.
