The social media prankster who was recently arrested for spraying bed bug killer at a Walmart in the Phoenix area is now facing more problems.

Charles Smith, who goes by the username @WolfieKhaletti on TikTok, was accused of spraying a can of bed bug killer on groceries at a Walmart in Arizona, according to the Mesa Police Department (MPD). The 27-year-old filmed the incident and shared it with his more than 350,000 followers on his TikTok account.

After an investigation by the Tempe Police Department, he turned himself in and was charged with introducing poison, criminal damage, endangerment, and theft. But after an appearance in court on Monday, Smith is facing third-degree burglary charges in a separate case, according to CBS 5 News.

An Arizona judge also set Smith’s bond at $10,000 for the burglary charge and ordered that he is not allowed to be on any social media and cannot step foot inside any BoSa Donuts shop (a donut chain in Arizona).

While it’s unknown what led to the burglary charge, there is a video on his social media of Smith taking an object from a customer at a local business and then running away without returning it.

In the video that originally resulted in his arrest, Smith is seen grabbing a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer and spraying the pesticide on several groceries including potatoes, lemons, green apples, tomatoes, squash, and even bananas at a Walmart in the Phoenix area.

Thankfully, customers unharmed. A Walmart spokesperson told the local news outlet that all the groceries that were sprayed were removed from the store.

Although pranks like this one can be dangerous, don’t expect Smith to disappear. According to report, Smith makes $6,000 to $10,000 a month on his pranks.
