Dude faces jail for urinating in soda

A convenience store clerk pleaded no contest Thursday to felony charges of tampering after he urinated in a bottle of soda that was later drunk by a customer who became violently sick.

Anthony Mesa, 21, was taken into custody after the short hearing before Circuit Judge James R. Clayton. Mesa's attorney said he is hopeful his client will receive less than a year in the county jail.

Mesa was working at a Deltona convenience store when the incident occurred last fall.

The victim, a foreman with a Daytona Beach construction company, became suspicious of the drink after he chugged it and vomited three or four times. Mesa will be held in the Volusia County jail until his sentencing. That date has not been set yet. Article here.
