According to a police report, the 28-year-old victim was shopping with her daughter in the stores cereal aisle when she was approached by Garcia, who worked in the stores dairy department. After accepting Garcias offer of a yogurt sample, the woman immediately thought the sample tasted gross and disgusting and, cops reported, said it tasted like semen.
In
a handwritten statement, the woman said, I spit it out on the floor many times cuz I was upset. The woman recalled that when she talked to manager Catherine Flores, she told me was a Greek yoghurt. People love it has lot of protein on it.
The woman paid for her groceries and returned home, where she told her boyfriend about the incident. She told of how Garcia had just come with one sample just for me, and that he was so pushy to tell me how taste it. The woman and her boyfriend eventually returned to the market, where they summoned police.
When questioned by cops, an extremely nervous Garcia denied putting bodily fluids in the yogurt container, which he admitted discarding in a trash compactor after the woman complained about the samples taste.
An Albuquerque Police Department spokesperson said today that blood and DNA samples have been collected from the incarcerated Garcia, and that results from lab tests are expected later this week.
