The suspect, identified as Patrick Francis Mitchell, was captured on surveillance cameras relieving himself in aisle 18 of the wholesale retail store. A police affidavit described how Mitchell approached the stacked pallets of Spam and Vienna sausages, positioned himself in front of the display, placed both hands below his waist, and stood motionless for several seconds.
“Behaviour consistent with urination,” Marion County Detective Ronnie Williams stated in his report, noting that the footage left little room for doubt.
As a result of the act, 188 bulk units of Vienna sausages and 345 units of Spam Classic were rendered unsellable. The store was forced to discard the contaminated items, resulting in a financial loss of over $10,500.
Interestingly, Mitchell did not attempt to flee or conceal his actions. After urinating on the goods, he was seen strolling over to the snack section and then sitting on display patio furniture for around ten minutes. He then proceeded to the checkout counter, paid for a few items as though nothing had happened, and left the store calmly.

Police later arrested Mitchell at his home in the Village of Piedmont, a retirement community popularly known as “Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.” He lives there with his wife.
He has been charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. The latter is classified as a felony since the damage caused exceeds the $1,000 threshold under Florida law. As per the outlet, Mitchell has pleaded not guilty and has since been released on a $3,000 bond.
