18-Year-Old Fast-Food Worker Arrested For Putting Menstrual Blood On Customer’s Burger (Photo)

A woman working at a fast-food restaurant in Columbus, Mississippi was arrested after a coworker accused her of serving contaminated food.

According to police, Sky Juliett Samuel put her menstrual blood and saliva on a customer's burger.

She was working at a Jack’s Family Restaurant on Jan. 7 when a co-worker said she saw the 18-year-old smear the blood and saliva on a sandwich and serve it to a customer.

The incident received attention after Samuel's co-worker's mother posted about it on Facebook and the victim of the alleged incident filed a complaint with the police department.

Samuel could face up to five years in prison if she’s convicted of “knowingly sell(ing) unwholesome
bread or drink''. She turned herself into police on Monday.

The witness claims she was fired for sharing information about the incident with her employers a few days later. The CEO of Jack's reportedly said she was terminated for reasons unrelated to it.

Surveillance cameras were turned over to investigators. The fast-food chain said in a statement that they are cooperating with police and investigating internally.
