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.
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.
As it should be. The regulations were significantly increased after the Tylenol murders in 1982. It’s also why we have no tamper things on many ingestible items.
That’s because it’s an easy way to cause the death of children. People become angry, understandably.
It could also cause the death of a CEO, which is an even more serious concern.
Depends on which children, apparently.
I do not agree with the use of “prankster”.
Yeah this is a mass poisoning.
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.
Doubt many CEOs shop at Walmart, otherwise it would totally be terrorism charges.
“Prank”
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.

“Arrest me Daddy uwu”
…are you retarded?
It’s a rhetorical question.
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.
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.
Sounds funny until you see just how stuffed with antibiotics they are
I think it’s nice that they get a little healthcare
Antibiotic use in livestock is the major driver of resistance. Soon people will start dying from minor cuts just like we did before antibiotics were discovered.
