Ex DoorDash Deliveryman Nabbed For Tampering With Lady Cop's Chipotle Order

An ex DoorDash deliveryman has been arrested on Thursday and is now being held without bail on suspicion of tampering with a New York Police Department (NYPD) cop's Chipotle order, allegedly violating the terms of his parole in the shooting of a peace officer in 2011.

Police slapped Lance Layne, 30, with assault on a police officer and tampering charges after he allegedly dropped off a contaminated food order at the 61st Precinct in Brooklyn between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday. He then left a note inside the meal package saying, “Hope that d–k tastes good bitch,” NBC New York reported.

The officer who got the order was quick to throw the meal in the trash.

Layne reportedly took a video of him tampering with the Chipotle order by putting his fingers into the food before he left the note and posted it on Facebook under the user named So Certified.

The post was captioned “You know I’m about to violate the s–t out of this order, 61st Precinct. I dreamed of moments like this,” a prosecutor told the court at the suspect’s Brooklyn Criminal Court appearance Friday.

In the post's comment section, the user told the public that "I don't violate people's food like that. That was personal. We are at war."

The suspect, however, repeatedly told the media that contaminating the NYPD officer's food order was just a prank and that he had nothing against the police, according to CBS New York.

In a statement, DoorDash slammed Layne's behavior and called it“unacceptable,” assuring the public that they have cut ties with Layne and reached out to the customer involved. The company also vowed to assist police in investigations.

"This behavior is absolutely unacceptable and has no place in our community. We take the trust and respect of merchants, customers, and Dashers extremely seriously," the statement read.

“All Dashers must pass a criminal background check and motor vehicle record check before being approved to deliver on our platform. We also run recurring checks on active Dashers."

Judge Claudia Daniels-DePeyster moved to hold Layne without bail following the Chipotle incident that violated the terms of his parole in the 2011 shooting of a police officer, which saw him paroled through November 2024.

Layne was sentenced to 10 years behind bars for his conviction in the case. After serving his sentence for more than three years, Layne was released on parole in November 2019, state prison records indicated. He had seven prior convictions.

Layne lodged a Brooklyn federal lawsuit following his 2011 run-in with the police, winning a $33,000 settlement in 2012, city records reveal. He also claimed the officers pressured him into a false confession as they hurled one racial slur after another at him.

The documents further alleged that the man accidentally shot himself but that officers moved to interrogate him at the 60th Precinct before beating him up, the New York Post noted. He was later sent to the hospital to receive medical attention for his wounds.

The Civilian Complaint Review Board’s officer misconduct database also shows that two cops involved in the 2011 melee were hit with a 10-day work penalty and training on how to give medical attention.
