A man described as a disgruntled contractor is accused of entering a market in Charleston, South Carolina and spraying a foul odorous liquid described by some as feces on produce in the store.
The State reports police arrested Pau Hang, 41, and charged him with damage to personal property.
Harris Teeter has closed the entire area and says it will decontaminate everything before reopening.
“I just thought it might have been another recall,” one said to WYFF4.”But as I worked my way around the grocery store and headed back towards the deli, they started closing off the bread aisle and closing off all the precooked food.”
Police could not confirm that feces was used in the substance.
“We were extremely alarmed and disappointed to learn that today, a disgruntled, former contractor attempted to contaminate food products in the Produce department and Fresh Foods department inside our St. Andrews Shopping Center location,” Harris Teeter spokesperson Danna Robinson said.
