The two Dominos Pizza employees, Kristy Lynn Hammonds and Michael Setzer, were finally caught after evading the law, and have now both been charged with contaminating food to be distributed to the public.

This is the same charge that would be issued to people who taint Halloween candy.

Kristy and Michael were fired after the video of them laughing and playing around with food meant to go on sandwiches appeared on YouTube. A spokesperson for Dominos has also issued an apology to customers, but according to some of the comments on the YouTube video, people are just not buying it.

There is other evidence that the video posted a few days ago, was not the pair's first video, and there are actually four others of them contaminating food, and one where Michael wipes his backside with a sponge and then uses it to clean the pans.

Michael Setzer appears to have no previous criminal record.

Setzer posted bond around 6 p.m. Wednesday and he said, "no comment," as he left jail.

However his partner in crime, Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, has a previous record of possession of stolen property, breaking into a vending machine, and sexual battery and she is on the sex offender's registry in North Carolina.

Hammonds mother told news cameras:

she feels "very bad for the company, of course, because I know there's going to be a lot of people who aren't going to want to eat there."

Hammonds is expected to post bond this morning, and her mother says that she feels 'very remorseful, stupid and embarrassed' about the whole thing.

The Dominos Pizza shop in North Carolina where this took place is back open today.

If the two are convicted, they could face anywhere from four months to a year in jail.

Neither will I... That video just reveals what kind of morons work at the junk food places. It is so disgusting. I'll probably never eat at Domino's again.

These "people" have commited an unknown number of counts of attempted murder. Where is the prosecutor? They should be tested for any infectious disease, and checked for mental health issues. Where is the mental health system? Where was the manager? Where are the surveillance tapes? Does anyone have the answers to these questions? These sick persons better be glad they are not employees in the peoples republic of China. Failures like this are punished by DEATH. Just look at the chemicals in baby bottles fiasco. I say if the government is incapable of adequately punishing these people, their address is available on the state sex offenders website. Can you believe the female has made a copyright claim to the original video? Federal law prevents a criminal from profiting from their crime(s). She will not retain this copyright. The video is still available on certain file sharing networks thank god. What if this happened to your business? Enhanced Interrogation has a legitamate use, use it on skum like this to determine the number of people who were put at risk by this vile action. Do what needs to be done, the government is not capable of adequately punishing these people. In a vote of no confedence, I emplore the public to pick up the slack.
