An Arizona man with a popular TikTok account may face legal consequences after posting content of himself allegedly spraying food with pesticides at a Walmart store.

On the evening of December 19, a 27-year-old man who is well known on TikTok visited a Walmart in Mesa. It was reported that he went to the store to film a prank video for his 349,000 followers. The internet personality reportedly took a can of what was believed to be Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from a shelf and recorded himself as he allegedly doused several food items with it. Afterward, the footage was posted on his account.

When the authorities learned about the incident, they began investigating. The Tempe Police Department teamed up with the Mesa Police Department and identified the man they believed was responsible. Detectives from the Mesa Police Department spoke to the suspect, who said he would meet with them to discuss the incident. According to a release from the police department, the man was asked if he sprayed the “various produce items, including vegetables, fruit, and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase” with pesticides as it appeared in the video. He reportedly told the detectives that he did spray the food items, but that he threw all of them in the garbage afterwards.
