COCAINE SALES ALLEGED AT BURGER KING WINDOW

Novato -- The night manager of a Burger King restaurant was arrested
early yesterday for allegedly using the drive-through window to sell
an item not on the menu -- cocaine.

Lieutenant Dennis McQueeny of the Marin County Sheriff's Department
said that Sadik Sufi, 26, of Novato and San Rafael, was arrested after
undercover officers observed drive-through drug sales taking place. A
month earlier, an undercover officer had made a cocaine purchase from
Sufi, officers said.

``He'd put (the cocaine packet) in a cup of ice and hand it out,''
McQueeny said. ``Some people clearly chose to get a hamburger while
they were at it.''

Police said they observed a transaction involving Sufi, 26, and a
Burger King customer at about 2 a.m. yesterday. Sufi was arrested
later in San Rafael on suspicion of dealing cocaine.
