An Indiana man was arrested after he was accused of drugging and raping his Subway co-worker while working their shift.

Jordan Matthew Johnson, 19, of Evansville, was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail on Tuesday on preliminary charges of sexual battery and rape.

The woman, who was not identified, told police she believed she was drugged by Johnson while at work at a Subway restaurant in Evansville, Courier & Press reported.

The alleged victim told Evansville officers she asked Johnson for an aspirin or Tylenol after coming down with a headache. The victim said Johnson gave her a white pill and told her it “would make her feel better.”

During her shift, the woman said she started to feel impaired and fell a few times. The restaurant manager and owner reviewed surveillance video from the day of the incident that showed the victim becoming “more and more impaired,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

The manager said they were not working on the day of the incident but watched surveillance video of the employees working and reported seeing the woman falling down a few times. The manager also said they received a complaint from a customer saying employees were having sex in a closet, 14 News reported.

Police said the surveillance video showed Johnson standing over the victim in the restaurant’s kitchen with her pants down and touching her inappropriately when she fell down. The victim told police Johnson took her into a utility closet and sexually assaulted her.
