An employee of a food service in the United States has been arrested after a video of him spitting on customers’ Pizza went viral.
20-year-old Jaylon Kerley was seen spitting on a pizza intended for customers at Comerica Park for the Tigers’ game against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
Kerley’s colleague who recorded the incident, Quinnel May, told WDIV that Kerley “was angry because the supervisor kept yelling at him.”
May said when he tried to report the incident to his bosses, he was ordered out of the stadium and also threatened with prosecution if he didn’t take down the video from his Instagram.
Kerley now faces possible jail sentence of up to four years after being charged with felony and misdemeanor charge for violation of food law.
The judge ruled on Tuesday that “given the unique nature of the charges and the seriousness of the allegations, particularly as it relates to the public health, Kerley must make himself available or be subject to mandatory testing for infectious diseases, including a Hepatitis panel.”
