Man bites security guard at Kroger, leading to HIV-related charge

A man has been charged with aggravated robbery for allegedly biting a security guard while trying to steal sausage from “the gay Kroger” store on Cedar Springs Road on Wednesday night, according to this story from The Dallas Morning News. Authorities apparently believe the man is HIV-positive, so the charges have been enhanced to aggravated robbery since he is accused of using “the infection as a weapon.” If this sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Earlier this month, a man was sentenced to 35 years in prison for spitting on a Dallas police officer. Medical experts believe no one has ever contracted HIV from spit.
