CONOVER, N.C. — Two Domino's Pizza employees were each charged with a felony on Wednesday after a video posted on YouTube showed one of them putting cheese in his nostril and waving meat under his rear end while assembling a sandwich. Police in Conover said Wednesday night that 31-year-old Kristy Lynn Hammonds of Taylorsville and 32-year-old Michael Anthony Setzer of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods. Police chief Gary Lafone says it's the same North Carolina statute that forbids any tampering with Halloween candy. Eric Farr, spokesman for the Catawba County district attorney's office, didn't return a phone call seeking comment on Wednesday. The Observer-News-Enterprise of Newton reported Wednesday night that the pair is being held in the Catawba County jail under $7,500 bond with a court date scheduled for Thursday. Lafone said the videos alone were enough to charge Hammonds and Setzer. In one of the three videos, Setzer was shown sticking cheese in his nose before placing it on a sandwich and passing gas on salami. Hammonds narrated the video, saying the food with special ingredients would be delivered to customers. Hammonds has told Domino's corporate office it was merely a prank and that the food was never delivered to customers. Despite her claims, the company insisted on the firings, criminal charges and possibly a lawsuit, said Tim McIntyre, vice president of communications for Domino's. Earlier Wednesday, he described the two workers as "idiots." Lafone said it's still unknown what device Hammonds and Setzer used to make the videos. Lafone said the quality of the video was too good to have been a cell phone.
