Missouri Police Chief Suing Over Tainted Pizza

Hermann Police Chief Marlon Walker plans to file a civil lawsuit against a local store after his food was tampered with last year.

The police chief of Hermann, Missouri plans to file a civil lawsuit against a local store after his food was tampered with last year.

A civil lawsuit to be filed by Travis Noble's law firm will likely fall under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, which makes it illegal to sell or advertise goods with deception, false pretense or misrepresentation, according to KMIZ-TV.

In April, the Gasconade County prosecutor's office filed two counts of felony harassment and a misdemeanor harassment charge against Daniel Robinson after he was caught on video throwing pizza toppings on the floor before putting them on the pizza and serving it to Police Chief Marlon Walker and his two daughters on Dec. 2, 2016 at Casey's General Store.

The worker later admitted to also spitting on the pizza. "Anytime that we go to a restaurant, we're trusting someone with the care of our food and what we anticipate it to be," Grant Boyd, Walker's attorney, told the news station. "The idea that someone would violate that trust and a company would violate that trust in not informing people when they know that incident happened is pretty disgusting."

Walker claims he learned about the food tampering weeks later when the manager of the store told one of his officers what happened.
