A TikToker has been arrested in Arizona after allegedly filming himself spraying bug spray on food in Walmart.

On December 19 at around 8:30pm TikToker, 'tycoon creator' and 'supreme villain' Charles Smith allegedly picked up a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer and went on a spraying spree round a Walmart store in Arizona.

The 27-year-old is reported to have filmed himself doing the act and shared the footage in a since-deleted post to his over 300,000 followers on TikTok.

Smith allegedly recorded himself spraying the bug spray on items such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes, lemons, squash, and bananas, the Post reports.

Oh, and rotisserie chicken too, allegedly causing damage amounting to around $930, police say.

Smith then uploaded the video of himself doing so to his TikTok, but it's since been deleted.

Smith allegedly went back inside the Walmart not long after sharing the video online and removed some the items he sprayed with the bug spray, put them in a trolley, and left them at the back of the store. It's not clear how many were potentially left behind, or if anyone then later bought and then consumed them.

UNILAD has contacted Walmart for comment.

Authorities contacted the content creator, and on December 21, Smith is said to have turned himself in to police.

Documents, as quoted by ABC7, allege Smith told investigators he films 'pranks' for his social media and makes between $6,000 to $10,000 per month off the back of his content.

Indeed, on his TikTok page, videos see Smith tying the handles of a door to a shop, a woman trapped on the inside.

Another post sees him open a man's washing machine load and add bacon and eggs to the drum.

As one user commented: "What is your problem bro."

"Who hurt you?", another questioned.

A member of the public told Arizona's Family: "It's kind of dumb, there's just no point."

Another called the incident a 'travesty'.

"Pranks should be actually funny. If it's hurting others in the process, why would you do that?"

Walmart shopper Xavier Griego said: "I think social media has got people doing crazy things out here. It’s unfortunate that somebody would mess up their whole life, potentially, for something on social media for views."

The TikToker faces charges of introducing poison, theft, criminal damage, and endangerment.
