A Downtown Pittsburgh sports bar employee is accused of spiking a co-worker’s drink two weeks ago with pipe degreaser, causing co-worker’s upper and lower lips to turn red and feel a burning sensation, Pittsburgh police said.
Gregory Evans Jr., 30, of Pittsburgh’s North Side, is accused of putting the degreaser into strawberry tea that the cook at Redbeards Sports Bar and Grill, 144 Sixth St., had got for himself around 3:30 p.m. Aug. 7, according to the criminal complaint.
The cook stepped away from his drink and when he returned to drink the tea, he noticed something smelled and tasted bad and the drink had little white bubbles in it. He spit out the drink and dumped the beverage from the glass, according to the complaint.
