ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Pepperoni is a popular pizza topping. Pepper spray? Not so much.
But that’s what one Orange County, Calif. teen says ended up on his pie. And the person accused of putting it there is a sheriff’s deputy.
The 19 year old says he was pulled over for a routine traffic stop, and Deputy Juan Tavera was one of the officers on scene.
At some point, the teen says Tavera leaned into the back seat and sprayed the pizza without him knowing.
When he got home four friends ate the pizza and got sick.
Tavera is now charges with assault or battery by a public officer and could get up to a year in the slammer if convicted.
It sounds like this deep dish defiler is in some deep trouble.
