Two 18-year-olds decided to turn a regular shopping trip into content. Their plan was simple. Drive a lawnmower straight into a big-box store while recording it for social media.
It didn’t go as planned.
They hit the front doors twice trying to get in. No one was hurt, but the doors were damaged, and people inside the store had to react fast. Police said the stunt put others at risk, even if the goal was clicks and laughs.
It also wasn’t a one-time idea.
The night before, the same pair pulled another stunt inside a fast-food restaurant. One of them used a leaf blower indoors while the other filmed. Same goal. More content.
Now the online views come with real-world consequences. Both teens face disorderly conduct and criminal mischief charges tied to both incidents.
This is another example of how chasing attention online can spill into places where people are just trying to shop, eat, and get home safely.
