Former restaurant employee charged after allegedly rubbing testicles on customer’s pizza

Police have charged an 18-year-old former employee of a pizza business in Georgetown, Texas, in connection with rubbing his scrotum on a customer’s pizza.

A customer told police that he walked into a Papa Murphy’s pizza in Georgetown on Sept. 2 and saw an employee, Austin Michael Symonds, “rubbing his testicles on the pizza he had ordered,” an arrest warrant says. Symonds apologized to the customer saying “Man, I am really sorry that was stupid.” The customer asked Symonds how old he is. The customer then said “So you are old enough to know better … ” “Yes,” said Symonds.



During a recorded phone call on Sept. 3 between Symonds and the store manager, Symonds said he was sorry for what he had done and “that he did what he did because the customer had called in the order right before closing time.” Symonds also admitted to a police officer in a phone call on Sept. 4 he would have given the pizza to the customer if he had not been caught. Symonds said “Probably. “That’s the terrible part.”

The pizza was a family-sized stuffed pizza with Canadian bacon, pineapple and extra cheese. Papa Murphy’s specializes in pizza that customers take home and bake themselves. Symonds, a resident of Georgetown, was charged with tampering with a consumer product. He has since been fired from the pizza store where he worked. Symonds was arrested on Sept. 12 and released on $10,000 bail from the Williamson County Jail.
