Cop sues Starbucks after spilling free coffee on himself
A police officer who was given a free cup of coffee by Starbucks staff is now suing the chain for $50,000 – because he spilled it and bued himself.
Matthew Kohr’s lawyers say the Raleigh cop was given the coffee free by a barista at a local branch of Starbucks back in 2012.
But Kohr says he the cup’s contents into his lap after the lid popped off, causing bus, blisters and emotional damage.
He further claims the incident caused him such severe stress that it activated his Crohn’s disease – resulting in surgery to remove part of his intestine – and deprived his wife Melanie of a ‘source of emotional support, her social companion and her intimate partner.’
