A former Dunkin' Donuts employee who killed a customer with a single punch for calling him a racial slur has been sentenced to two years of house arrest.
Corey Pujols, 27, will also complete 200 hours of community service and attend an anger management course after pleading guilty to felony battery under a deal with prosecutors in Hillsborough County, Florida.
Pujols was originally charged with aggravated assault for the death of a 77-year-old customer in May 2021 who prosecutors said called the Dunkin's worker a racial slur twice.
Police said the white customer, Vonelle Cook, became abusive and called Pujols the N-word after walking into the store to complain about customer service.
I'm shocked.
