DUDE It's a freakin' MIRACLE man!!!!
A Valley church group got the shock of their lives when they found marijuana in their pizza. It happened at a youth outing in Florence the day before Thanksgiving. It's still not known where the pot came from.
WAFF 48 found out about the incident after an anonymous e-mail was sent. That e-mail lead us to the Papa John's Restaurant on Florence Blvd. The district office for Papa John's sent us this press release:
We have been notified by the Florence police of a possible incident of product tampering with a pizza order on November 21st, where a customer claims to have discovered marijuana on his pizza.
We have investigated internally and have no reason to believe that the product tampering occurred at our restaurant or by any of our employees.
We take great pride in serving a high-quality product to our customers and in our 12 years of serving the Florence community have never had an incident like this. We are cooperating with the police in their processes to get to the bottom of this claim.

Authorities would not confirm where the pizza came from today. They did say an off duty Florence Police Officer ordered the pizza.
"I don't believe at this time they knew it was a police officer who ordered it," said Sgt. Rolando Bogran, of the Florence Police Department.
According to the FPD, it was not until the pizza was already eaten that someone realized there was something in it. Sgt. Bogran said, "We have verified marijuana was in the pizza." Forensic testing has been ordered to get official certified results.
From the anonymous e-mail we also learned that a Florence Methodist church was involved. We stopped by the Methodist Church's District Headquarters, at the old Brandon School. They confirmed one of their churches has been involved, but were told not to comment because of the ongoing investigation.
Sgt. Bogran concluded, "Whatever the outcome of the investigation, it will be bad, we are talking about a local restaurant, it hurts the community, hurts everyone, but most of all some people could have been hurt in the incident."
Several of the youth who ate the pizza were taken to the hospital to be checked out. None were found to have ill effects of eating the pizza. Keep it on WAFF 48 for updates on this investigation.
