One look at the Food Patrol was all it took for a bakery in Weslaco to lock its doors early.
               
Weslaco Bakery on 3022 E. Business Highway 83 scored 35 demerits on a health inspection report.
               
The Food Patrol arrived Wednesday afternoon to question management about cross contamination violations and roaches in the kitchen.
               
The questions though were never asked.
               
That’s because a worker scrambled to the door and locked it before the Food Patrol could get inside.
               
A neon open sign remained on and the hours of operation read until 7 pm.
               
One customer sat in his car with a frustrated look on his face.
