A disturbing case of product tampering has emerged from Keene, NH, where a local content creator captured herself on video contaminating grocery store items. The perpetrator, 23-year-old Kelli Tedford, is accused of using her urine to taint merchandise at the Monadnock Food Co-Op, according to the Keene Police Department's Facebook post.

The initial report landed in the hands of Keene Police on Valentine's Day, leading to an investigation that uncovered a series of videos dating back to as early as 2021. It appears that, this wasn't a one-off incident but part of a recurring pattern of behavior. The Co-Op faced a substantial setback with over $1,500 in damages, funds which were allocated to ruined goods and necessary cleanup efforts, police said.

Tedford was booked on a class B felony charge of Criminal Mischief and was released on personal recognizance bail. She is scheduled for arraignment on April 7, 2025, in the 8th Circuit Court of Keene. Should you have experienced any suspicious encounters concerning Tedford or purchased items that might have been compromised, Detective Don Lundin is the point of contact with the Keene Police Department, reachable at (603) 357-9813.
