Summary
Dudley District Court released Kaylie M. Santos on personal recognizance after arraignment, but barred the 22-year-old from working in the food industry while her case proceeds.
Santos pleaded not guilty to distributing food with a harmful substance after prosecutors said she stuffed fries in her mouth before they were served to a former girlfriend at a Southbridge McDonald's.
April 9 video footage posted on social media drove the case into public view, and the former girlfriend told the court she learned of the tainted fries from that post.
May 7-8 text messages introduced in court appeared to show Santos asking the woman not to press charges, but Judge Andrew J. Abdella denied a restraining order request and instead ordered Santos to stay away.
