A prankster has been arrested in connection with a social media post involving the spraying of pesticide on food items at a Mesa Walmart.

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.

    He only got ~300 likes on his posts, too. Dude’s picking up a felony charge for 300 likes.
