   A prankster was recently arrested and charged after allegedly spraying bug   
   killer on food in an Arizona Walmart, police say.   
      
   Charles Smith, 27, was charged with felony-level poisoning and   
   misdemeanor-level criminal damage, in addition to misdemeanor charges of   
   endangerment and theft. The Mesa Police Department confirmed the arrest in   
   a statement to Fox News Digital.   
      
   The incident began on Dec. 19 at around 8:30 p.m., police said, when the   
   suspect entered a Mesa Walmart "intending to film pranks for social   
   media." He then grabbed a can of bug killer "without paying for it,"   
   according to the police's statement.   
      
   According to the authorities, Smith aimed the spray at both produce and   
   prepared food items, such as rotisserie chickens.

   "He then sprayed the pesticide on various produce items, including   
   vegetables, fruit, and rotisserie chickens that were available for   
   purchase," the Mesa Police Department's statement said. "Smith filmed his   
   face, the pesticide can, and the act of spraying. He later posted the   
   video online."   
      
   Smith later voluntarily turned himself in and admitted to the crimes.   
      
   "Through investigative means, and with assistance from the Tempe Police   
   Department, detectives were able to identify Smith as the suspect," the   
   statement added. "Mesa Police contacted Smith and he turned himself in   
   voluntarily. During the interview, Smith admitted to the theft and   
   spraying of the pesticide."   
      
   "Thanks to the tireless work of our officers and detectives, an arrest   
   occurred less than 24 hours after police were notified of the incident,"   
   the police department continued. "We also extend our gratitude to the   
   Tempe Police Department for their valuable contributions and collaboration   
   in quickly solving this case."   
      
   Authorities added that the incident exemplifies "the potential dangers of   
   reckless actions disguised as social media pranks."   
      
   On Sunday, Walmart told Fox News Digital that customer safety "is always a   
   top priority," and confirmed that all tainted products were removed from   
   shelves.   
      
   "We have removed all directly impacted product and have cleaned and   
   sanitized the affected area of the store," the company continued. "We   
   apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers as we   
   work to resolve this issue. We will continue to work closely with law   
   enforcement during their investigation."
