Charles Smith, a 27-year-old man, has been arrested by Mesa police for spraying Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer on food items at a Walmart Supercenter in Mesa, Arizona. The incident occurred on Thursday at the store located at Stapley Drive and Baseline Road. Smith, who intended to film social media pranks, took the bug killer from the shelf without paying for it and sprayed its contents on various produce items, including vegetables, fruit, and rotisserie chickens. After the incident, Smith filmed himself and posted the video online, which was later deleted. He returned to the store 10 minutes later in an attempt to collect the items he had sprayed. The contaminated products, totaling $931,000 in value, were removed by Walmart. Smith faces charges of introducing poison (Class 6 Felony), criminal damage (Class 1 Misdemeanor), endangerment (Class 1 Misdemeanor), and theft (Class 1 Misdemeanor).
