BARNSTABLE - Two employees at a Dunkin’ Donuts shop on Cape Cod were arrested after allegedly spitting in customers’ coffee.

Rodrigo Rodrigues, 22, and Junior DaSilva, 26, both of Barnstable, each face a felony charge of distributing food intended or expected to cause injury. Both are free on bail after their arraignment this week, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Barnstable police made the arrests Feb. 3 after a six-day investigation prompted by an anonymous tip that employees were spitting and urinating in police officers’ coffee, according to a police report filed in court.

One doughnut shop employee told police she heard DaSilva threaten to spit in a customer’s coffee and heard Rodrigues, the store manager, encourage him. The woman also heard DaSilva make a spitting sound while some coffees were in front of him, then serve them at a drive-thru. She didn’t see DaSilva spit into the drink, the report said.

DaSilva told police he saw Rodrigues spit into a customer’s coffee, shake it, then serve it at a drive-thru, according to the report.

Police did not identify anyone who witnessed an employee urinating in coffee. The report also does not mention any police officer who claims to have received contaminated coffee.

Repeated attempts by the Times to contact DaSilva and Rodrigues and their lawyers were unsuccessful.

In a statement, Dunkin’ Donuts Inc. said, “Neither Dunkin’ Donuts Incorporated nor the franchisee condone the alleged actions by these employees. The safety and welfare of our customers is our number one priority, and we take adherence to health and safety standards very seriously.”

The company also said Rodrigues and DaSilva were no longer working at Dunkin’ Donuts.
