CONOVER, N.C. - Authorities say two Domino's Pizza workers in North Carolina each face a felony charge after a video posted on YouTube showed one of them putting cheese in his nostril and waving meat under his rear end while assembling a sandwich.

Police in Conover say 31-year-old Kristy Lynn Hammonds of Taylorsville and 32-year-old Michael Anthony Setzer of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods.

Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre says the workers were fired and there is no evidence any of the tampered foods were served to customers. The Observer-News-Enterprise of Newton reported the store was closed to decontaminate it.

A deputy at the Catawba County jail says Setzer was released on bail but Hammonds was still being held Wednesday.

A man identifying himself on the phone as Setzer's father says the family is not commenting.
