Bakery employee allegedly threw nuts and bolts into granola in attempt to get work break

A Kentwood bakery employee faces a felony charge for allegedly throwing nuts and bolts into granola last week in an attempt to get a break from work, court documents state.

Quality control at a Hearthside Foods facility, 4185 44th St. SE, detected the nuts and bolts in a granola bar mix on Wednesday, Jan. 7.

Closed-circuit television showed Ruben Giovanni Gramajo, 22, throwing a handful of the objects into the mix, a detective wrote in a probable cause affidavit. Employees called police.

Gramajo, of Grand Rapids, allegedly wrote a confession to police and said his actions were an effort to get a break from work.
