Mesa TikTokker who bug-sprayed Walmart food indicted on 3 felonies

TikTok may still be operating, but one wannabe influencer from the Valley won't be posting again anytime soon.

On Tuesday, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced that a grand jury had indicted 27-year-old TikTokker Charles Smith on five counts for a social media “prank” he pulled in December. On Dec. 19, Smith — or “WolfieParty” on his social media channels — posted a video of himself spraying fruit, vegetables and rotisserie chickens at a Mesa Walmart with Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer. He was arrested shortly afterward.

According to the indictment, Smith caused more than $900 in damage. Smith is charged with burglary, a class 4 felony, and two counts of adding poison to water, food, drink or medicine, a class 6 felony offense. He also faces endangerment and criminal damage charges, both class 1 misdemeanors.

If convicted of all charges, Smith could be sentenced to between two and nine years in prison and a fine of up to $155,000. The severity of his sentence will depend on Smith’s criminal history and other factors. Prior to his Mesa arrest, Smith had an outstanding warrant in Tempe and past arrests for shoplifting, theft and making false reports, according to Mesa Police’s incident report from the arrest.
