A Raleigh, North Carolina 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 the Raleigh Police Department, 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.
Kohr was joined by his wife in court Monday. She is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit - claiming loss of her intimate partner.
Kohr initially sued the maker of the coffee cup too, but the only defendant left in the case is Starbucks.
People buying coffee at the same Starbucks Monday said they were surprised by the lawsuit.
"It's a tough predicament. I think, when something like that happens, especially given that it was a free cup of coffee. I think, you know, they are trying to go out of their way and do something good for somebody who is putting their life in the line of duty every day," offered Max Isaacson.
"It's easy to sue anyone for anything these days. The fact that he dropped hot coffee in his lap, he needs to take responsibility for his actions," said Amber Mohammad.
Jury selection in the case is underway.
Starbucks said it can't comment directly on the case, but did say: "At Starbucks, the safety of our customers and partners (employees) is our top priority and we take our obligation to provide safe products very seriously."

Crazy part was that it was an Orange Double whip soy Mocha Frapuccino

So a cup of coffee burns a police officer's lips and neither the cup nor the barista get shot? Excellent police restraint shown.

Agnostic007 will say something like, "Well, the cop was just trying to do his job and he got burned, now he cant do his job. He has every right to sue."
Also didnt the same thing happen with a woman at mcdonalds many years ago?

They'll say the coffee maker has a deep hate for cops. Was busted for smoking Marijuana once so he has a criminal history and his intent was to injure the cop by giving him hot coffee instead of the lukewarm piss water he's used to from the local donut shop.

He can't sue for much anyways. After the McDonald's case they reformed the policy. he might get $50K if lucky. Tort Reform. That McDonald's case was epic because when the old lady showed pics her legs were bubbly and burnt badly. Once they admitted that the drive thru coffee is brewed 15 degrees hotter it was case closed. This dumb ass cop will get jack shit after lawyer fees.
