Raleigh police officer burned by free coffee sues Starbucks
RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — A Raleigh police officer who was given a free cup of coffee by Starbucks is now suing the company after he spilled it and got burned.
In the lawsuit, Matthew Kohr, a lieutenant with RPD, said the lid popped off the cup of coffee he ordered at the Starbucks on Peace Street in January 2012 and the cup collapsed.
Kohr claims the incident caused such severe stress it activated his Crohn’s disease which resulted in surgery to remove part of his intestine.
