Jaime Major South Carolina Burger King assistant manager arrested for serving fries that a customer had thrown out in the trash can. Faces felony charge of food tampering.
Would you like an extra dollop of ketch up with those fries? An assistant manager of a South Carolina Burger King has been arrested for allegedly serving customers French fries that had been in the trash can.
Jaime Christine Major, 39, was charged on Monday with tampering with food — a felony — for allegedly taking French fries from the trash and adding them to the container where freshly cooked fries are placed and then dumping just-cooked fries on top.
The Union Police Department responded to a reported disturbance at the fast food joint at Duncan Bypass on July 9, Fox Carolina reported.
Faces up to 20 years jail
At the scene they found two women screaming at restaurant staff, threatening them and using profanity.
When the women refused to calm down at officers’ request, they were both arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Two days later, Burger King headquarters called police and told them that Major had been serving fries that a customer had thrown out in the trash can.
A warrant was issued for Major’s arrest after an investigation with the woman charged with malicious tampering with human food, WRAL reported.
If convicted, the fast food worker could face up to 20 years in prison, according to The State.
A judge set the employee’s bond at $20,000. As of Tuesday the woman still remained in custody at the Union County Detention Center, The State reported.
