TikTok coronavirus prankster arrested on TERROR charges for licking supermarket items after global outrage
THE idiot who caused global outrage after licking grocery store products has been arrested on terror charges.
Police in Warrenton, Virginia, arrested a man after of him saying "who is scared of " and led to calls from one of Britain's morning show hosts calls for him to get jailed.
Cody Pfister, 26, has been charged with making a terrorist threat following the "disgusting" act at a Walmart.
Viewers as far away as the UK and Netherlands are said to have made reports to the police.
Police said in a statement: "We take these complaints very seriously and would like to thank all of those who reported the video so the issue could be addressed."
Piers Morgan, one of the hosts of Good Morning Britain, aired the clip on Monday as he blasted the gross behavior.
He showed the video in the hope people in the UK don't get the same idea.
Piers led calls for his arrest and said he should be denied healthcare if he comes down with the killer bug.
He furiously said: ";This is of somebody in America, who went to a supermarket knowing the coronavirus is attacking everyone in the United States and he did this and posted it online.
"What I would like to happen to him is I'd like him found, and I am sure they will get him.
"I would like him put in prison, immediately. And then I would like him deprived of any healthcare should he then get the virus having tried to deliberately give it to potentially lots of other people.
"That might concentrate the minds of these morons and it might concentrate the minds of these morons we have here."
It was originally thought the video was filmed in Missouri, which is were Pfister is from.
Piers also tweeted: "Find him, arrest him, imprison him, and deny him any healthcare if he gets the virus.
"See how funny the disgusting little p***k finds it when his chest is collapsing and he can’t breathe."
It comes as President Donald Trump said that he wants.
The president also warned that economic shutdown could cause 'suicide by the thousands'.
Speaking at a virtual town hall meeting today, Trump said: "You are going to lose a number of people to the flu. But you are going to lose more people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression.
