A New Jersey Starbucks employee has been accused of spitting in the coffee of police officers.
Kevin Trejo, a 21-year-old from Westwood, faces a number of charges, including subjecting a law enforcement officer to contact with a bodily fluid, creating a hazardous or physically dangerous condition and knowingly tampering with a cup of coffee knowing it was ordered by a law enforcement officer.
It’s unclear how many officers may have had their drinks tampered with, but police said it “appears to be an isolated incident with this sole individual” at a Starbucks in Park Ridge.
“We believe it happened more than once, but we can prove it happened at least once on May 25,” Park Ridge Police Capt. Joseph Rampolla told NBC News.
Park Ridge Police Chief Joseph Madden told NJ.com that Trejo was “arrogant enough to be bragging about it” and that led police to question him.

Sentence him to drinking a gallon a day of others’ saliva
Let cool heads prevail. After all, this fine young man is a highly trained barista, and we don’t yet know if the “hero” police officer ordered “extra loogie” in his coffee. So let’s all calm down and await the results of the pending investigation. I find it very hard to believe anyone would treat a “hero” this way.
The American Left has become crazier than its Israeli counterpart.
Sadly we are all being sentenced to drink unhinged people’s saliva, that’s why I use a face screen in addition to mask.
