New Hampshire police say a woman who has allegedly been adding her urine to grocery store items for years has been stopped. On Feb. 14, Keene Police were made aware of videos recorded Feb. 10 that allegedly showed a 23-year-old "content creator" contaminating a local store's bulk food items with her own urine. Investigators then reviewed other videos that allegedly showed the woman, Kelli Tedford, doing the same thing at various locations as far back as 2021. "At this time, it appears likely that similar historic incidents occurred in Keene and surrounding communities where Tedford contaminated items and/or surfaces with urine," police said Friday in announcing the Keene resident's arrest, per NBC News. It's unclear to which site the videos were shared.

The Monadnock Food Co-Op, where Tedford allegedly filmed herself this month, said it removed "affected products" and "sanitized all surfaces" when contacted by police about the "highly unusual incident." It contacted customers "who purchased at-risk products," and on Friday announced a voluntary recall of cornmeal, polenta, shredded coconut, walnuts, and several varieties of quinoa purchased from its bulk department between Feb. 10 and Feb. 15. Police said the store suffered a $1,500 loss due to ruined merchandise and cleaning costs. Tedford, meanwhile, is charged with criminal mischief as a class B felony. She's out on personal recognizance bail and due to be arraigned April 7, per People. (More unimaginable grossness stories.)
