(Associated Press) CONOVER, N.C. - Two Domino's Pizza employees were each charged with a felony on Wednesday after a video posted on YouTube showed one of them putting cheese in his nostril and waving meat under his rear end while assembling a sandwich.

Watch the actual video right here on YouTube.

Police in Conover said Wednesday night that 31-year-old Kristy Lynn Hammonds of Taylorsville and 32-year-old Michael Anthony Setzer of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods.

Police chief Gary Lafone says it's the same North Carolina statute that forbids any tampering with Halloween candy.

Eric Farr, spokesman for the Catawba County district attorney's office, didn't return a phone call seeking comment on Wednesday.

The Observer-News-Enterprise of Newton reported Wednesday night that the pair is being held in the Catawba County Jail under $7,500 bond with a court date scheduled for Thursday.

Lafone said the videos alone were enough to charge Hammonds and Setzer.

In one of the videos, Setzer was shown sticking cheese in his nose before placing it on a sandwich and passing gas on salami. Hammonds narrated the video, saying the food with special ingredients would be delivered to customers.

Hammonds has told Domino's corporate office it was merely a prank and that the food was never delivered to customers. Despite her claims, the company insisted on the firings, criminal charges and possibly a lawsuit, said Tim McIntyre, vice president of communications for Domino's. Earlier Wednesday, he described the two workers as "idiots."

Watch Domino's president Patrick Doyle response to the video posted by the former employees.

Lafone said it's still unknown what device Hammonds and Setzer used to make the videos. Lafone said the quality of the video was too good to have been a cell phone.

Real Einsteins aren't they? Hey let's do gross things to the food, video it, put it on youtube and not think we won't get caught.

They could have used a Flip camera . . . small, but good quality video. .

they should have to serve their time in Sheriff Joe's jails. Then they can eat the disgusting food they sold

Im a long time (5 years) Dominos employee and im disgusted with the behavior of these two jerks and hope they go to prison for a long time.

Here is a video featuring Patrick Doyle, President of Dominos USA. Might be worth watching.

Yeah, I linked to his response in the original post. I don't blame Domino's. I blame those two idiots. I don't think I'll be eating out for a while, though (not that I do very often, anyway). I hear so many stories and our local news does a "Restaurant Report" every week... they inspect area restaurants, give grades, and details... I know where I'll eat and where I won't. Sadly, there's more places to skip than stop by. Some of the stuff they find is absolutely disgusting! Cooking is becoming more and more enjoyable.

Reminds me of the punks caught urinating in the IHOP pancake batter back in the 70's. I haven't been in one since. I can now add Dominos to the list.

They should be forever barred from working in food service.

Amen to that!! I don't care if they were playing a joke or not, that is way past disgusting!!

Totally agree, there is absolutely zero excuse or reason for what they did.

nah... let them work in prison food service... say... for 25 years

...under a police officer's close and personal supervision.

Glad I don't like Dominos.

Gross

Basically this. For every time you see something revolting shocking and/or horrifying videotaped and put on the news, figure it's happened 50 times for every 1 time that the perps got caught.

I will tell you that nothing like this happens where I work but we've got some above average people working with us right now. I feel bad for everybody working at Dominos (including you George) because even though this happened at a Dominos in North Carolina, my Pizza Hut here in Texas has been SWAMPED with Dominos customers as of late.

Actually, to be doubly sure, we need to go further and grow our own food and even raise the animals we'll eventually consume (just like most oldtimers used to do).
