Contaminated

It’s impossible to explain or understand the mindset of someone who has a character flaw so severe that they think it is okay to contaminate food at restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and other spots where others likely will consume the food. These individuals certainly lack morals, likely have a lot of issues at home, and need attention. Remember, to some people, bad attention is better than no attention at all. So, this blog post serves up what they crave, hopefully, enough attention to embarrass them from committing any future crimes.

Man Sprayed Fecal Matter on South Carolina Harris Teeter

This case takes us back to October 2017 when a manager at a Charleston-area Harris Teeter noticed a former disgruntled worker at the store, who had been banned from the property two years prior, was inside. He called the police.

As the manager browsed the store, he noticed a brown, foul-smelling liquid sprayed onto food in the produce section.

Police arrested Pau Hang, 41, on charges of malicious tampering with a human drug product or food item, malicious injury to property, and trespassing after notice.

His charges were upgraded to federal counts after authorities learned Hang also contaminated items in the deli, on the hot food and salad bars, and on the sushi bar.

Police Officer Terminated After Feeding Homeless Man Feces-Filled Sandwich

Matthew Luckhurst was a police officer in San Antonio from 2011 until 2016 when he fed a homeless man a “feces-filled sandwich.”

The incident came to light after Luckhurst laughed and joked about what he had done to a coworker. The co-worker said he told him he “picked up some feces, placed it in a slice of bread, placed it in a Styrofoam container, and sat it beside a homeless man.

In February 2025, a grocery store employee turned online content creator was arrested on charges that she had urinated on various food products for years.

Elementary School Janitor Sentenced to 8 Years After Admitting to Putting Bodily Fluids & Waste in Kids’ Food

A 27-year-old man from New Jersey will serve eight years in prison after admitting to putting his own bodily fluids and waste into food served to children at the elementary school where he worked as a janitor. He must serve five years of the sentence before he is eligible for parole.

Giovanni Impellizzeri pleaded guilty to official misconduct and possession of child sexual abuse material in January. Prosecutors dropped a charge of aggravated assault endangering the welfare of a child, and tampering with food products.

New Jersey police received reports from concerned parents regarding videos showing Impellizzeri on Telegram. One video showed him “performing sexual acts with items from the school” and another showed him “masturbating and urinating on pillows and kitchen bowls.” Another shows him spraying bleach into a bowl of cucumbers served to students in the cafeteria and him wiping multiple pieces of bread across his genitals, spitting on it, and placing it into the container to serve at lunch.

During their investigation, police discovered Impellizzeri in possession of child sexual abuse materials.

Impellizzeri worked with the Upper Deerfield Township school district.
