30 years ago, one of the biggest bands in America was The Smashing Pumpkins, and now, a guy was arrested for doing just that.
A 31-year-old man in Florida named Aaron Thompson destroyed about 80 pumpkins outside a Target. The smashed pumpkins were worth around $500.
Police say a security camera caught him “picking pumpkins out of the boxes located in front of the store and smashing them on the ground.” This happened in the middle of the night last week, at about 1:15 A.M.
Aaron was caught when he returned to the Target a few days later while they were open. Loss prevention officers pulled him aside, showed him the footage of the pumpkin-smashing, and asked him if he knew who that was. He responded, “That’s me.”
The cops were called, and he was charged with felony criminal mischief. Oh, and he was asked WHY he did it, and he said he was blowing off steam because “someone was messing with him on Facebook.”
(Here’s his mugshot.)
