Amidst the aisles, a male employee has found himself in hot water, facing a staggering 14 counts for indecent exposure. Authorities are currently probing into reports of him ejaculating onto food items while on duty. The question on everyone's mind remains: What drove this juvenile employee to literally seed the supermarket shelves?
Clearly, there are underlying mental health issues at play here that demand urgent attention. This unsettling behavior goes beyond the realm of normalcy and into the territory of serious concern.

Fort Collins Police Services said the investigation began in July 2023 when the department received multiple reports of a person who was masturbating outside businesses in view of employees. Fort Collins police said many of the incidents happened at coffee shops. In at least one case, the victim was a juvenile, according to the department.
Investigators identified Stephen Masalta, 32, as the suspect. Authorities executed a search warrant at his home in February.
Masalta was arrested for 14 counts of indecent exposure (Class 1 misdemeanor) and booked into the Larimer County Jail.
In an update posted to the department's YouTube channel Thursday, Chief Jeff Swoboda said "multiple pieces of evidence" were collected during the February search.
Swoboda said investigators found videos that showed Masalta masturbating and ejaculating on multiple food items at a Safeway grocery store where he was employed. The police chief said Masalta worked at the Safeway located at 1426 East Harmony Road from December 2023 to February 2024.
Swoboda said the food was not commercially sealed.
