The Longmont man who spoofed the Tiger Woods’ scandal by changing labels on Gatorade bottles could accept a plea deal in court Friday.
Jason Kay, 38, placed Gatorade bottles on shelves of stores in north metro Denver last year. The switched labels included a picture of the alleged philandering golfer and “unfaithful” beneath it.
According to court documents, Kay told an investigator he considered the labels a statement of art.
Kay has a hearing Friday morning in U.S. District Court in Denver, “where he will be given an opportunity to plead guilty” to one count of adulteration and removal of the labeling of a food while held for sale, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement today.
Last week his lawyer said a plea agreement was in the works. If convicted, Kay faces up to a year in federal prison and a fine of up to $1,000.
