The Walnut station issued the following statement Tuesday morning:
“Walnut Station Detectives are investigating an incident of the alleged poisoning of food or drink at a local business.

“This disgusting assault on a police officer was carried out by someone with hatred in their heart and who lacks human decency. We hope they are publicly exposed, fired, arrested, and prosecuted for their cowardly and repugnant actions," the LA Police Protective League tells FOX 11.
"We take this allegation seriously. We have reviewed video footage and have not found any suspicious behavior. We have shared the video with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and look forward to the conclusions of their investigation," Target said in a statement.
