A TikToker named Wolfie Kahletti, who is notorious for labeling himself as a “troll” and “supreme villain,” is currently facing legal consequences. Charles Smith, the individual behind this TikTok account, which has amassed over 14 million likes and 300,000 followers, is now confronted with criminal charges in Arizona due to a prank that went terribly wrong.
On December 19, at the Walmart situated at 1955 S. Stapley Drive in Mesa, 27-year-old Smith thought it would be amusing to create a prank video by using a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug spray, a pesticide. Smith, who recorded himself, proceeded to spray the pesticide on various items including fresh produce, fruit, and even rotisserie chickens, unaware of the consequences. The police were called to the scene to address the incident.
Smith willingly revealed his identity in a video where he prominently displayed his face, the can of pesticide, and the act of spraying. This clear evidence made it uncomplicated for law enforcement to identify him. Although he initially shared the video on his TikTok account, he apparently deleted it afterwards. Despite his efforts to erase the incriminating footage, the impact had already been made.
In the video, Smith enters the Walmart and carries out his prank by himself. He proceeds to spray lemons, yams, and other produce with the pesticide. Interestingly, he adds captions such as “Fooled u” and “Promise I threw them away,” attempting to justify his actions by showing himself disposing of the food afterwards.
Walmart employees verified that they disposed of the contaminated produce and took the necessary steps to clean and sanitize the affected areas. With assistance from the Tempe Police Department, the Mesa Police Department successfully traced Smith’s whereabouts. After being contacted by the police, Smith voluntarily surrendered himself. During the interrogation, Smith confessed to stealing and spraying the pesticide.
Smith is facing serious charges, including a felony count of introducing poison, as well as several misdemeanors such as criminal damage, endangerment, and theft. This once seemingly harmless prank has now turned into a very serious matter.
Smith’s TikTok page is brimming with videos that have garnered millions of likes. On his page, he portrays himself as a “tycoon creator” and a “supreme villain.” During interviews, Smith openly referred to himself as a “troll.” However, this time, his actions went too far, endangering public health and safety.
The outcome of his actions is yet to be determined, but this incident serves as a clear reminder that being famous online doesn’t justify behaving recklessly.
