In Mesa, Arizona, several incidents were reported over the previous week. On December 19, 2024, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a suspect allegedly sprayed pesticides on produce and other food items at a Walmart located near Stapley Drive. The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Charles Smith, was arrested on December 21, 2024, and booked into jail on charges of introducing poison, criminal damage, endangerment, and theft. The case is considered resolved with an arrest made.

Additionally, there were reports of crashes on Loop 202, including a fatal wrong-way crash near Power Road on December 7, 2024, and another crash at Recker Road. The incidents are under investigation by the Department of Public Safety.

Mesa Community College was placed under lockdown due to an incident in the area on an unspecified date, with Mesa Police stating it was a precautionary measure due to a fight and chase that ended nearby.

A brush fire off US 60 near the Apache Junction-Mesa border burned about 10 acres, and another brush fire near the Superstition Freeway burned five to 10 acres in the east Valley. The incidents are under investigation by fire authorities.

In terms of trends, there has been an increase in reckless actions disguised as social media pranks, as highlighted by the pesticide spraying incident at Walmart. The Mesa Police Department urges the public to report any suspicious activities and to refrain from engaging in dangerous behavior for social media purposes.

For tips or to report crimes, please contact the Mesa Police Department at 480-644-2211.
