Lorain police ordered a McDonald's restaurant to close Saturday after an 18-year-old woman said she found laxatives in her soft drink.
Officers said that the woman found three red gel-like tablets in her drink at the Oberlin Avenue McDonald's and became ill. Police determined the tablets were laxatives.
However, they couldn't determine exactly where the pills were placed in the drink.
The woman said she was sipping the drink when she sucked something through the straw. She took the lid off and found more pills inside the cup. She also said her 2-year-old daughter drank from the same drink.
The woman told police where she got the drink. That's when officers temporarily ordered the restaurant closed. It was shut down for about 25 minutes.
Police are investigating the incident.
