A 23-year-old online content creator, Kelli Tedford, has been arrested and charged with criminal mischief for allegedly contaminating store products by urinating on them. The shocking case led to an investigation and a product recall going back four years.
How the Investigation Started
The Keene Police Department in New Hampshire began investigating on February 14 after receiving an anonymous tip. The tipster reported that Tedford had uploaded disturbing videos showing her urinating on items inside a local store. Police identified the store as the Monadnock Food Co-Op and quickly launched an investigation.
In response, the store, working with health officials, immediately removed the affected products. The recall included red quinoa, white quinoa, tri-color quinoa, cornmeal, polenta, coconut shreds, and raw walnuts. The store assured customers that their health and safety were top priorities.
Store’s Response
Monadnock Food Co-Op issued a statement saying they took swift action by following strict food safety and recall procedures. They also confirmed working with the Keene Health Department, which found no further health risks. The store is now reviewing its security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
More Videos Discovered
As the police continued their investigation, they found multiple additional videos of Tedford committing the same act over the past four years. Some of these videos date back to 2021, suggesting that similar incidents may have occurred in other stores in Keene and nearby communities.
The contamination resulted in over $1,500 in damages, including the cost of removing products and sanitizing the store.
Arrest and Possible Charges
Tedford was arrested on Friday and charged with criminal mischief, a class B felony. She was later released on personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear in court on April 7 at the 8th Circuit Court in Keene.
Authorities say the investigation is still ongoing, and Tedford could face more charges as new evidence emerges.
Final Thoughts
This disturbing case has raised concerns about food safety and public health. Stores are now being more cautious, strengthening their security to prevent such incidents. Meanwhile, police are urging anyone with more information to come forward as they continue their investigation.
