Delivery Man Allegedly Spotted Naked, Fondling Self With Food Containers
POSTED: 5:27 p.m. EDT June 17, 2003 UPDATED: 7:24 p.m. EDT June 17, 2003
A 29-year-old food service delivery driver was fired after he was allegedly spotted naked and fondling himself among food containers prepared for Central Florida senior citizens, according to Local 6 News.
Students at the Rose Training Institute said that they saw the truck driver, who is believed to be Andrew Raquet, fondling himself with the Styrofoam containers at the Pine Hills Shopping Center parking lot.
Local 6 News reported that the students notified their teacher, Frank Solomon.
"He was totally, totally naked, nothing on," Solomon said. "He was buck naked, over the food."
"I watched it for about 10 seconds and then I ran and got the phone and dialed 911."
However, when Orange County sheriff's deputies arrived 33 minutes later, the truck was gone.
Local 6 News obtained video that allegedly showed what the company's driver was doing to the Meals on Wheels containers.
"The man needs some help," GA Food Services President James Lobianco said after seeing the Local 6 News video. "The gentleman obviously has a major problem. "Had we known about it, he wouldn't be employed by us in any capacity."
Raquet was fired soon after GA Food Services saw the Local 6 News video, according to Problem Solver Tony Pipitone.
Pipitone also showed the video to the Meals on Wheels supervisor the driver delivered containers to.
"That's perverted," Alicia Mott said. "It's disgusting and this food is served to my senior citizens."
Local 6 News reported that the containers did not have food in them when the driver was spotted Friday or Monday. Also, no one has reported broken seals on any of the meals.
The sheriff's office reopened the case and interviewed witnesses who said that the driver was naked and fondling himself Friday in clear view of their second floor classroom window.
GA Food Services said that the driver's truck and the food containers will be sanitized before being returned to use.
