On Dec. 19, 2024, Mesa Police say 27-year-old #CharlesSmith recorded himself spraying bug spray on produce at the store near Stapley Drive and Baseline Road. “Smith entered the store 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,” police said. “He then sprayed the pesticide on various produce items, including vegetables, fruit, and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase. Smith filmed his face, the pesticide can, and the act of spraying. He later posted the video online.” On April 24, Smith pleaded guilty to adding poison or other harmful substances to water, food, drink or medicine. Via fox10phoenix • highimheath
