Ex-Kmart Worker Poisoned Meat
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A former Kmart employee was arrested and accused of putting rat poison in packages of ground beef at one of its stores last week, authorities said.
Officials said nobody bought the three packages of tainted meat.
Karen L. Wyndham, 45, was charged with tampering with consumer products, according to the FBI. She was arrested Monday and released on a personal recognizance bond after appearing in court.
Wyndham, who does not have a listed phone number, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Kmart where Wyndham worked took all packaged meat off its shelves after an employee conducting a routine inspection found three packages had been tampered with, The Post and Courier of Charleston reported in Tuesday’s newspapers.
A spokeswoman for the state health department said no illnesses have been linked directly to the tampering. A company spokeswoman told the newspaper that Wyndham no longer works at the store.
