Former food service worker Jaylon Kerley faces four years in jail after pleading guilty to felony and misdemeanor food-law violations on Wednesday after an Instagram video appeared to show him spitting on a pizza at Comerica Park in September.
The Associated Press reported Kerley's guilty plea, noting that his lawyer acknowledged the 21-year-old is "remorseful" for his inappropriate behavior.
Kerley was arrested and fired from his job on Sept. 23, two days after the incident occurred. According to WXYZ-TV Detroit, this may not have been the first time Kerley spit on food he prepared for customers:
