Prankster arrested for spraying pesticide on Walmart produce
A male prankster has been arrested in connection with a social media post involving the spraying of pesticides on produce and other foods at a Mesa Walmart store.
According to police, Charles Smith, 27, entered the Walmart at 1955 S. Stapley Dr. on Dec. 19 intending to film pranks for social media platforms.
Instead, police said Smith grabbed a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from a shelf without paying for it and then sprayed the pesticide on various vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase.
Smith recorded his face, the pesticide can and the act of him spraying its contents. He later posted the recording online.
I do not agree with the use of "prankster".
Yeah this is a mass poisoning.

"Arrest me Daddy uwu"
Wait till you learn what the growers sprayed on those veggies. And what it did to the farm worker's children..
neat, I personally like my roasted chickens ripe off the vine without pesticides.
Yeah, that's not a prank. That could have killed people if nobody noticed it.
I hope they lock his dumb ass up for a long time.
From the last wave of pranks when people licked ice creams and put it back I have learned that messing with food is a federal crime in the US and is taken quite seriously.
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.
What do you believe his political motive was in spraying the produce?
I mean, I get your point......but not every story has to be compared to other stories. In this case Luigi. I also see other people bring up politics during stories that have nothing to do with politics.
And I wonder why people do that. Why talk about an unrelated topic when there's already an interesting topic?
I guess it's not as bad as reddit, where they would instead just post a random unrelated quote from the office, but still....
It's a current event being compared to another current event. One about a murder, and the other potentially attempted homicide, depending on the pesticide used. Seems to be pretty related to me, regardless of any politics.
Just because they call it a "prank", and the media uses the same shitty term, that doesn't make spraying pesticides on food for unsuspecting citizens to grab any less dangerous.
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this story and this story.
(They're the same story)
It reminds me of the dupes on Facebook that comment "must have been a Kamala voter" on every video of someone doing something stupid.
What political cause or ideology do you think this was done in support of?
Honestly, there doesnt have to be a political motivation. The default assumption is getting a reaction out of people.
I didn't see what store it was but maybe he was trying to kill all of the flies in his local Whole Foods.
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
🤣
He only got ~300 likes on his posts, too. Dude's picking up a felony charge for 300 likes.
Good, let him rot in irrelevance, and prison.
"Prank"
It's remarkable that it needs to be said but... Don't record yourself doing crimes and post it on YouTube.
actually, do record yourself doing crimes.
Right? I'm all for it.
I want stupid people to remove themselves from society as quickly as possible.
Unless you do universally hated shit like this dickhole, then by all means, tell us exactly who you are and what you did.
It's just a prank, bro!
I don't know what community I thought I was in, but I thought this was gonna be some joke story about Jar Jar Binks running a police force. Those cops need to fix the spacing for "Mesa"
