Police say the incident reportedly occurred on Thursday night at the Walmart near Stapley Drive and Baseline Road.

They say Smith intended on filming pranks for social media, but instead picked up a can of bug spray from the shelf without paying for it, and then sprayed it on the produce and rotisserie chickens. Smith reportedly filmed his face, the can, and the act of spraying the can and posted it online.

Smith reportedly admitted to the theft and the video to Mesa police.

He now faces charges of introducing poison, criminal damage, endangerment, and theft.
