In a disgusting happening, a staff of Dunkin’ Donuts had allegedly spit a lugie into a coffee cup of a police officer who came as a customer.
In a lawsuit filed this Tuesday against Dunkin’, Martin’s attorneys argue that their client was targeted because of his profession as a cop, even though he was in plainclothes during the visit. (The detective’s lawyers say Martin had visited the shop several times before in-uniform.)
His attorneys add that he suffered concerns for his health afterward, even undergoing testing for HIV and other diseases.
The employee, identified as Brian Colon, had reportedly admitted to spitting into Martin’s coffee when Martin returned to the shop to complain, but he said it wasn’t because Martin was a cop. Rather, Colon alleges that Martin had been mean to his pregnant fiancee, who works with him at the Dunkin’ after she accidentally gave Martin the wrong order.
“She’s crying a lot, and I asked what’s wrong? She tells me this guy keeps calling me the B-word,” Colon claimed
