South Lake Tahoe Police say an arrest has been made after a second confirmed food contamination case has been reported at a business on the south shore. Detectives, through collaboration with Raley’s security personnel, were able to identify the suspect as 43 year-old Harry Dally. On November 20th, officers responded to a report of possible food tampering at the Baja Fresh salsa bar, similar to the methods used at the Raley’s supermarket in the same shopping center. Police say there was a strong bleach type odor in the salsa at the self-serve salsa bar. Police learned that similar incidents had occurred at Baja Fresh in in the previous two weeks, but the restaurant didn’t report them until hearing about the Raley’s incident. One 12-year-old reported feeling sick after eating at the restaurant, he was treated for symptoms related to food poisoning and released.
