Too Fab reports:
If convicted on all charges, the Phoenix News Times reports Smith could face between two and nine years in prison and up to a $155,000 fine.
In reference to the fact that Smith posted his alleged criminal activities to social media on December 19, County Attorney Rachel Mitchell urged anyone online to remember, “Report, don’t repost!”
According to a press release from the Mesa Police Department, Smith entered the Walmart “intending to film pranks for social media but instead selected a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from the shelf without paying for it.”
“He then sprayed the pesticide on various produce items, including vegetables, fruit, and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase,” the statement continued. “Smith filmed his face, the pesticide can, and the act of spraying. He later posted the video online.”
Court documents obtained by People state that it was only after Smith saw “comments online saying how horrible the act was” that “he decided to return and collect the items.”
He uploaded videos later claiming that he threw that food away and that “no one was poisoned.”
“The health and safety of our customers and associates is always a top priority,” Walmart said in a follow up statement.
Mesa PD added, “This incident underscores the potential dangers of reckless actions disguised as social media pranks.”
