A content creator has been accused of contaminating a grocery store in New Hampshire with her urine and filming it.
Kelli Tedford, 23, was arrested on Friday, Feb. 21, after an anonymous person reported that she had posted several “disturbing” videos online,” according to a news release from the Keene Police Department. In one of the clips seen by investigators, she appeared to be contaminating foods at a local business with her urine.
She was charged with criminal mischief as a class B felony.
According to the New York Post and Action News 5, Tedford was an employee at Monadnock Food Co-Op.
The Monadnock Food Co-Op said in a statement, “We were informed by the Keene Police Department of an incident on February 10 where an individual attempted to contaminate products in our store with their urine.”
“Upon notification from law enforcement, we immediately reviewed store video, identified affected products, removed them from our shelves and sanitized all surfaces,” the statement continued.
“We also reached out to members who purchased at-risk products. No fresh produce, meat, seafood, prepared foods or refrigerated products were affected,” the statement added. “Our community’s health and safety remain our top priorities.”
The Monadnock Food Co-Op is working with the Keene Health Department and Keene Police Department to ensure “no ongoing risks remain.”
According to the police news release, “numerous additional videos” of Tedford were also reviewed by investigators. “At this time, it appears likely that similar historic incidents occurred in Keene and surrounding communities where Tedford contaminated items and/or surfaces with urine, as several videos appear to be recorded as early as 2021,” the release added.
