Wolfie Kahletti Charged After Spraying Pesticide on Walmart Groceries in Viral Stunt

Charles Smith, a 27-year-old social media influencer aka Wolfie Kahletti, was arrested by the Mesa Police Department after filming himself spraying insect killer on produce and other food items at a local Walmart.

According to authorities, Smith took a can of pesticide from the store shelves without paying for it before recording himself spraying it on various food items, including vegetables, fruits, and rotisserie chickens.

“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,” the police statement read.

Smith, who has gained notoriety for his so-called “prank” videos on social media, was booked into jail on charges of introducing poison, criminal damage, endangerment, and theft.

“This type of behavior is not only reckless but poses a serious risk to public health,” a police spokesperson said. “We are grateful for the swift action of Walmart staff and our officers to remove the affected items from the store.”

The video quickly drew widespread condemnation from social media users, many of whom called for Smith to face severe consequences. The incident also prompted a reminder from law enforcement about the dangers of such stunts, which often blur the line between humor and criminal activity.
