A 23-year-old police officer in Herington, Kansas, resigned Monday after confessing to fabricating a story about a McDonald’s employee writing “F—ing Pig” on his coffee cup.



Police Chief Brian Hornaday said at a press conference that the unidentified former officer admitted he “completely and solely fabricated” the incident and said it was “meant to be a joke.” Instead, Hornaday said, it’s “absolutely a black eye on law enforcement” and an “obvious violation” of the public’s trust. The officer, he added, had been with the department for only two months.
