The Morrow Police Department says it has opened up a criminal investigation into whether or not a razor blade was put into a woman’s food at Las Trojas on purpose.
Sabrina Wideman-Reese said she was eating at Las Trojas on Mt. Zion Road in Morrow on Sunday when she bit into something sharp.
“Why would somebody do this? It could have turned out worse.”
She said a 1.5-inch razor blade was mixed in with her lettuce, cheese and meat. According to Wideman-Reese, she felt something cut her lips and tongue before realizing what it was.
After spitting out her food, she said she saw the blade.
The incident comes at an already difficult time for Wideman-Reese. She says she buried her husband, the father of her two daughters, less than two weeks ago.
“He, he fought hard to stay here with us, but he God said otherwise.”
She said finding the blade only added to a very traumatic time in her life.
“I was thinking that my kids would have been orphans if I would have swallowed it,” she said.
The Morrow Police Department said there is an active criminal investigation into the incident, including whether the blade ended up in the food accidentally or intentionally.
Out of curiosity, 11Alive’s Chase Houle looked up when their last health inspection occurred.
According to the Georgia Department of Public Health Las Trojas was last inspected on Feb. 5, receiving a score of 81. The report noted about a handful of violations, including containers of food stored on the ground. The report also noted that many of the violations had be cleared up at the time of the inspection.
When Houle asked for a comment, the restaurant’s manager declined.
