Las Vegas Man Arrested After Liquid Sprayed On Food During Stunt

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police say a man and an underage friend who was wearing what appeared to be a hazmat suit were trying to create a social media stunt when they went in a Walmart and sprayed water on food, shopping carts and a customer's hands.

Police say that shoppers and store employees were alarmed when it happened Saturday night and did not know what type of liquid was sprayed.

Police arrested 23-year-old Aldo Gonzalez. KVVU-TV reports police did not release the name of Gonzalez's underage friend.  Gonzalez was jailed on suspicion of dispersing a hoax substance and could not be reached to comment.
