Albuquerque police have confirmed the fears of one woman who claimed to have been tricked into sampling semen tainted yogurt while shopping at a West Side grocery store.
Police responded to the Sunflower Market on Corrales Boulevard on the evening of January 26th after a woman made an emergency call saying a store employee had given her a sample of what she believed to be bodily fluid disguised as yogurt.
The woman says she was grocery shopping with her daughter when the employee, identified later as Anthony Garcia, 31, offered her a sample of a new yogurt and asked for her opinion.
Police say the woman tasted the yogurt and immediately spit it out, left the store and contacted authorities.
Late last week authorities confirmed that lab tests showed semen present in the yogurt sample. Officials are awaiting results of a DNA sample taken from Garcia to see if it matches the semen. Authorities say depending on those results, he could face battery charges.
