A store clerk who was said to be unhappy over not being promoted was arrested Monday on charges he spiked bottled grape juice with dishwashing liquid and caused more than 40 people to fall ill at a church communion service.

The contaminated juice was bought at the CVS drugstore where Wendell Woodroffe worked, police said.

Woodroffe, 28, was charged with 22 counts of assault and 22 counts of assault on a victim 60 or older. He was jailed on $50,000 bail.
