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 the 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 express concerns about potential exposure.
- Seeking damages for medical expenses and emotional distress, Church filed a civil lawsuit against Hendricks, Arby's, and affiliated corporate groups, citing the alleged destruction of her trust in the fast-food chain.
- While criminal proceedings continue in McCurtain County, the question of whether the contamination directly caused the infection remains unproven in court; The National News Desk is awaiting a response from Arby's.
