Dog and Peanut Butter

(Fort Lauderdale, Florida) Stacy Jenkins, a Crime Scene Investigator, has been fired from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department for her involvement in "workplace high jinks" which allegedly created a hostile work environment.

Three other members of the police department, Kimberly Hancock, Kerri Hagerty and Julia Horn, received short suspensions.

The high jinks reportedly occurred in early 2010.

Jenkins hid a digital recorder in the city's Crime Scene Investigation office to record conversations of day-shift workers. She told the other three on Jan. 30, 2010.

While the four chatted, they let Jenkins' pet dog eat from a peanut butter jar that belonged to another detective. Other officers testified that they ate from the jar for a week without knowing.

Jenkins also told her colleagues that she previously let her dog urinate on a detective's desk.

I'd suggest there might have been some hostility in the work environment before the peanut butter incident.
