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.

    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

            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.
