He also has other prank videos of him locking people inside of a store from the outside and stuffing bacon and eggs inside a dryer at the laundromat as a man was drying his clothes.
The Mesa Police Dept said in a statement that the incident highlights the dangers of reckless actions disguised as social media pranks to garner likes and views.
Walmart informed PEOPLE magazine that the area has been thoroughly cleaned and all items related to the incident have been removed from the shelves.
“The health and safety of our customers and associates is always a top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers as we work to resolve this issue.
