An Arizona man who called himself a ‘supreme villain’ filmed himself spraying insect killer on fresh produce inside a Walmart.
Charles Smith, 27, was arrested after uploading a since-deleted video of him spraying Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug & Flea Killer all over bananas, yams, lemons, tomatoes, rotisserie chickens and more inside a Mesa, Arizona, Walmart on Thursday.
He turned himself in after police contacted him, according to The Arizona Republic.
He also admitted to stealing the pesticide he used in the clips from the store.
Smith was booked into jail on charges for introducing poison – a felony – as well misdemeanor criminal damage, endangerment and theft, police said.
In videos circulating online, no bystander or employee confronted Smith, who goes by Wolfie Kahletti on social media, as he went on his spraying spree.
He later placed the contaminated fruits and vegetables into an empty cart and wheeled into what appeared to be a back area, his Instagram Story showed.
Walmart confirmed the contaminated food items were removed and the area was thoroughly cleaned, the outlet reported.
Smith confirmed to The Republic that the produce was disposed ‘right after’ and ‘no one was poisoned.’ This has not been confirmed by police.
He did not say why he decided to spray the food.
Smith’s social media is full of prank videos, with him often using bungee cords to lock people in businesses, throwing raw bacon and eggs into a man’s dryer at the laundromat and more.
Earlier this month, another TikToker was arrested after fleecing Target with a sneaky checkout barcode hack.
Marlena Velez, 22, who has nearly 300,000 followers, was taken into custody on Saturday and charged with an additional count of petit theft in connection to a shoplifting incident at the Cape Coral Target on November 20, NBC 2 reports.
Police say she entered the store, selected 16 household goods and clothing valued at $225.
However, at self-checkout, she allegedly used a fake barcode to scan the items for a lower price – which was caught on surveillance footage.
Authorities were able to nab Velez for the crime based on a prior arrest and due to the fact the alleged thief’s phone wallpaper seen in security footage was identical to Velez’ background seen on Instagram photos, according to the Fort Myers News-Press.
The theft came less than 24 hours after she was cuffed for doing the exact same crime at the same Target location weeks prior.
For her previous alleged theft on October 30, cops said Velez stole 16 items – including household goods and clothes – worth a total of $500.32.
