COMERICA PARK PIZZA SHOP EMPLOYEE FIRED, ARRESTED FOR SPITTING ONTO FOOD
Kerley was arrested Sunday after a video seemingly showed him spitting on a pizza meant to be sold at Detroit’s Comerica Park. Officials found that the video was recorded Friday, when the Detroit Tigers faced off against the Kansas City Royals.
The video, which appears to have since been taken down, was posted on Instagram by an employee who claimed that he, too, was terminated for posting the video. He added that the employee spat in the video "[because] the supervisor kept yelling at him" that day.
