A video that shows a former Comerica Park food services employee spitting on pizza intended for customers has gone viral.

Officials say the employee, Jaylon Kerley, has been arrested.

The video was posted to Instagram on Saturday and shows an employee spitting on the pizza, then rubbing the sauce in it.

The incident happened on Friday, according to park representatives. 

“As soon as we became aware through social media of potential food tampering Friday night, we immediately closed that food stand and disposed of all the product. Food safety is our top priority and we will take any appropriate action necessary to protect our guests.”- Detroit Sportservice
