UNION, SOUTH CAROLINA, June 25 (Nationwide Times) — Three Wendy’s employees in Union, South Carolina, were charged after police said they tampered with a customer’s food at a North Duncan Bypass location, according to reporting that cited the Union Police Department.

Authorities identified the workers as Aaliyah Shuntai Sanders, Trinity Lashell Rice and Shadela Crystal Holley, and said they were charged with tampering with a human drug product or food item.

Police-related reporting said the customer complained about an initial drive-thru order and was told the meal would be remade. The customer accepted the replacement order and drove away, and the alleged tampering happened before the food was served again.

Reporting that cited police said the food was taken from the trash and spat on before being handed back to the customer.

Audacy, citing the Union Police Department, reported that Sanders and Rice were arrested and that a third employee was disciplined by the restaurant. Fox News reported the three workers were arrested separately in June, and said the manager told police the employees had been written up.
