Summary
Amanda Hendricks, a former Arby's manager in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, was charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure over a March order served to customer Jennica Church.
Surveillance video reviewed by police allegedly showed Hendricks spitting into sandwiches prepared for Church after another employee reported the contamination, according to court records cited by local outlets.
Church said she ate one sandwich in the parking lot and took the rest home to share with her husband and a relative in hospice care.
A civil lawsuit claims Hendricks was working during an active herpes outbreak, that Church later developed a lip lesion and tested positive for HSV-1, and that restaurant operators let Hendricks stay on shift despite visible symptoms.
Hendricks is being held in McCurtain County Jail, while Arby's had not publicly responded to the allegations.
