Couple planted and swallowed razor blades in doughnuts

A Utah couple has found themselves in hot water after it was discovered that not only did they plant razor blades in a grocery store's doughnuts but they also proceeded to eat them in an effort to win a lawsuit which would allow the to escape debt.

The couple, Michael Condor, 35, and Carrol Lee Leazer, 39, were both arrested monday. Among the charges was assault because the couple let one of their co-workers at a Dollar Tree store bite into one of the doughnuts.

Police got a call last week from someone who reported finding a triangular piece of sharp metal in a doughnut purchased from Smith's Food Store.

Hospital X-rays showed many fingernail sized pieces of metal in the couples stomach. as detectives looked into it, “things weren’t adding up,” Draper police Sgt. Chad Carpente said.

Investigators told the Deseret News newspaper that the couple were trying to win a settlement from the store. The couple were in debt, the newspaper reported, citing a police statement.

The co-worker bit into the suspect doughnut but did not swallow it and was unhurt, Carpenter said. The co-worker is the one who reported the metal to police, Carpenter told KSL.
