A lighter-fluid-throwing customer was arrested after he destroyed a Los Angeles Rite-Aid store.
The Los Angeles Police Department was called to a Rite-Aid store Tuesday night around 9:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a disturbance.
Video footage shows the man wandering throughout the store before knocking over displays as he flings bottles of lighter fluid across the store.
Other customers reported that the man was threatening them as well, according to KTLA.
Officers quickly entered the store, avoiding products spread all over the floor, including lighter fluid bottles, and promptly took the man into custody, but not without leaving a heavy tab.
While his identity was not immediately released, the suspect managed to rack up a total of $4,000 in damage.
Police confirmed the man was transient. No employees, customers, or law enforcement officials were hurt in the incident.
