Two Dunkin' Donuts employees accused of spitting in coffee
February 11, 2006

BARNSTABLE, Mass. --Two employees at a Dunkin' Donuts shop on Cape Cod were arrested after allegedly spitting in customers' coffee.

Breaking News Alerts Rodrigo Rodrigues, 22, and Junior DaSilva, 26, both of Barnstable, each face a felony charge of distributing food intended or expected to cause injury. Both are free on bail after their arraignment this week, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Barnstable police made the arrests Feb. 3 after a six-day investigation prompted by an anonymous tip that employees were spitting and urinating in police officers' coffee, according to a police report filed in court.

One doughnut shop employee told police she heard DaSilva threaten to spit in a customer's coffee and heard Rodrigues, the store manager, encourage him. The woman also heard DaSilva make a spitting sound while some coffees were in front of him, then serve them at a drive-thru. She didn't see DaSilva spit into the drink, the report said.

DaSilva told police he saw Rodrigues spit into a customer's coffee, shake it, then serve it at a drive-thru, according to the report.

Police did not identify anyone who witnessed an employee urinating in coffee. The report also does not mention any police officer who claims to have received contaminated coffee.

Repeated attempts by the Times to contact DaSilva and Rodrigues and their lawyers were unsuccessful.

In a statement, Dunkin' Donuts Inc. said, "Neither Dunkin' Donuts Incorporated nor the franchisee condone the alleged actions by these employees. The safety and welfare of our customers is our number one priority, and we take adherence to health and safety standards very seriously."

The company also said Rodrigues and DaSilva were no longer working at Dunkin' Donuts.

I saw that story on the news.
I may be mistaken,
But I thought they said both guys were Brazilian and were ILLEGAL IMIGRANTS !!!

I want to know,
How is it that there are so many of these illegal Brazilians in this state
and INS or some other gov. agency is not rounding them up and deporting them???
It wouldn't be very hard to find them,just go to any DD, or any low income housing complex !!!
I work in Norwood and that town is LOADED with them !!!
They drive cars with NO license, Fake passports or visas, and crash into other cars on a daily basis there!
I know Norwood police officers, and they say it is a whaste of their time arresting them, because if they go in front of a judge, the judge just gives them a small fine to pay or just throws the case out!!!
And the people who pay,
are US !!!
The legal, tax paying,insurance paying sapps !!!

You're right Ronnie.

That's what happens here on the Cape as well, we are flooded with Brazillians also. I lock up one of these guys and absolutely nothing happens, except the tow operators gets his tow fee if he's lucky. And how the hell do you communicate with someone when they don't speak English? How do I tell one of them people that they need to have a Massachusetts license, not a forged or photocopied fake "Republic of Brazil" license to drive here. All I get is a blank look and a shake of the head and a shrug of the shoulders...

What a country
