Controversy
In April 2017, the Raleigh Police Protective Association accused employees and managers of the Smithfield's location in Garner, North Carolina of singing "Fuck tha Police" while officers dined there.
After an investigation by the Raleigh PD and Smithfield's, it was determined the event happened differently than posted by the RPPA. The owners of the franchise location subsequently apologized and stated that they would terminate any employees involved.
