BARNSTABLE, Mass. --Two employees at a Dunkin' Donuts shop on Cape Cod were arrested after allegedly spitting in customers' coffee.

Rodrigo Rodrigues, 22, and Junior DaSilva, 26, both of Barnstable, each face a felony charge of distributing food intended or expected to cause injury. Both are free on bail after their arraignment this week, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Barnstable police made the arrests Feb. 3 after a six-day investigation prompted by an anonymous tip that employees were spitting and urinating in police officers' coffee, according to a police report filed in court.

One doughnut shop employee told police she heard DaSilva threaten to spit in a customer's coffee and heard Rodrigues, the store manager, encourage him. The woman also heard DaSilva make a spitting sound while some coffees were in front of him, then serve them at a drive-thru. She didn't see DaSilva spit into the drink, the report said.

DaSilva told police he saw Rodrigues spit into a customer's coffee, shake it, then serve it at a drive-thru, according to the report.

Police did not identify anyone who witnessed an employee urinating in coffee. The report also does not mention any police officer who claims to have received contaminated coffee.

Repeated attempts by the Times to contact DaSilva and Rodrigues and their lawyers were unsuccessful.

In a statement, Dunkin' Donuts Inc. said, "Neither Dunkin' Donuts Incorporated nor the franchisee condone the alleged actions by these employees. The safety and welfare of our customers is our number one priority, and we take adherence to health and safety standards very seriously."

The company also said Rodrigues and DaSilva were no longer working at Dunkin' Donuts.

This just proves that some people need a good beating.

If I were an LEO I would think you always have to get your ass out of the car and go in and watch your food/drink be prepared.
I know I would.

Never, ever, ever, ever order food/beverages as a cop where you cannot see the food prepared. NEVER, EVER.

And no one has found out yet about how they glazed the donuts...

They should definitely be charged with something, but I think the charge doesn't fit the crime here. Unless you have a disease of some kind, how can spit injure someone?  I'm pretty sure that law was created to handle things like glass shards and poison.
