Jace Christian Hanson, 21, is accused of urinating and rubbing his genitals on food consumed at Hereford House between March 26 and April 23.
Sick details have emerged in the case of the employee who contaminated food with his bodily fluids at the Hereford House steakhouse in Leawood, Kansas.
FBI agents reviewed the IP addresses linked to the videos, which were posted on thisvid.com under the username ‘vandalizer.’
The clips were titled “Peeing in Serving Sauce Again,” “Peeing in the Restaurant Desert,” “I Love Making People Try My Sweaty Genitals,” and “Spitting on Everything in the Restaurant, Part 2.”
He allegedly used body parts, including his genitals, buttocks and feet, to touch the food and stuffed it down his pants before serving it to customers.
Investigators showed the images to the Hereford House chef, who recognized Au Jus sauce in one of the miniatures, according to court documents.
Hanson was suspended from work and questioned by police. When asked if he was aware of any food contamination incidents, police officers said he admitted to his mischief.
“I’ll be honest, yes,” he told investigators, adding that he had “just been doing stupid things.”
Authorities said Hanson confessed that he began his disruptive behavior shortly after a week into work, motivated by dissatisfaction with his role.
Hanson filmed himself contaminating dishes at the Leawood restaurant before posting the footage online, according to a Johnson County Court affidavit.
But he said that even after he began to enjoy the work, he continued the disgusting acts, according to officials.
Police said Hanson told them his last offense involved stuffing lettuce down his pants before returning it to a tray to be served on April 23.
Authorities said it revealed that at least 20 dishes were contaminated before being consumed by customers.
The news left longtime customers shocked and worried about who was being “targeted.”
Hanson is charged with felony criminal threatening, which in Kansas carries a maximum sentence of up to 13 months in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
It is unclear if he has pleaded guilty at this time.
