According to police records, Rice was arrested on June 16. Sanders was arrested on June 17. Holley was arrested on June 22.
A judge gave Rice a $2,000 surety bond.
Incident reports state that on May 31, a customer ordered food from the Wendy’s drive-thru but had an issue with the food and told staff. She asked for a refund for the food after the staff took the order back.
The victim told police that she asked for a receipt since she was not given one when she first ordered her food.
She was given food back after staff told her that they would remake the order and left the store. While leaving, she was eating the food she was given.
The report states that someone from the store called the customer and told her that an employee had spat in the food and had removed it from the trash can.
The customer told police that when she looked, she found that the food she was given as a remade order was the food from her previous order.
According to the reports, the victim called the store and spoke with the manager, who told her that he had spoken with employees and confirmed this incident. He also said he would review surveillance footage of this incident.
The general manager and the manager told the victim that Sanders, Rice and Holley were written up for this incident.
