Arby’s Manager Accused of Giving Customer Herpes After Spitting in Food, Court Records Say
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage and interviewed employees as Jennica Church sued Arby’s, alleging the contamination led to an HSV-1 diagnosis.
- Former Arby's manager Amanda Hendricks was charged with felony poisoning after allegedly spitting into Jennica Church's food during a March 28 drive-through visit in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.
- Police launched an investigation after an Arby's employee reported the incident, and surveillance footage showed Hendricks lowering her head to allow saliva to fall onto sandwich meat.
- Church alleges she contracted HSV-1 from the meal, and her lawsuit claims Hendricks worked despite having "an active herpes outbreak with visible lesions" on March 28.
- Hendricks was arrested Sunday and booked into the McCurtain County Jail, while Church and her family filed a civil lawsuit against Arby's and Hendricks regarding the incident's impact.
- Though no further infections have been publicly reported, Church now "lives in constant fear" of transmitting the virus to her family, as there is no cure for HSV-1.
