Ex-Arby's Manager Accused of Infecting Customer with Herpes After 'Intentionally' Spitting on Food, Lawsuit Says
The suit says a former manager knowingly contaminated sandwich ingredients, and Church later tested positive for HSV-1 after sharing the meal with family.
- Amanda Hendricks, a former Arby's manager in Oklahoma, was arrested on Sunday and charged with felony poisoning of food after police surveillance video appeared to show her spitting onto sandwich ingredients.
- Investigators began the case in March after a whistleblower reported the incident, and a civil lawsuit filed by customer Jennica Church alleges Hendricks knowingly contaminated the food while having an active herpes outbreak.
- Church reported developing abnormal physical symptoms shortly after consuming the meal and later tested positive for HSV-1, while sharing the contaminated food with family members who now face concerns regarding potential exposure.
- Seeking damages for medical expenses and emotional distress, Church filed a lawsuit against Hendricks, Arby's, and affiliated corporate groups addressing the alleged destruction of her trust in the chain.
- While criminal proceedings continue in McCurtain County, the question of whether the contamination directly caused the infection remains unproven in court, and The National News Desk is awaiting comment from the restaurant chain.
