RIO RANCHO, N.M. - A Rio Rancho fast food restaurant worker is accused of spitting into a police officer's hamburger.

Marcus Calderon, 19, of Rio Rancho, was arrested and charged Saturday with assaulting a police officer and altering food, both misdemeanors.

He remained jailed Monday on a $2,000 bond.

The officer noticed there was something wrong Saturday after he took two or three bites of his hamburger, said Rio Rancho Department of Public Safety spokesman John Francis. After inspecting his food, the officer found someone had spit in his burger.

Francis said Calderon told police he was sick and may have accidentally coughed or spit on the burger.

Calderon was fired from the restaurant.

Officials with the restaurant said they had never before experienced this kind of incident, and all other employees are outstanding, clean and courteous.

Calderon provided police with blood and saliva samples to be tested for HIV (news - web sites) and hepatitis.
