Social Media Stunts Land Two Ocala Teens in Handcuffs
Police say the filmed stunts endangered customers and employees and led to criminal mischief and disorderly conduct charges.

- Authorities say the stunts were created for social media engagement, though the actions endangered customers and employees while causing property damage to the businesses.

- Szkaradek faces charges of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct for both incidents, while Charske was charged as a principal for disorderly conduct regarding his role in recording the Target stunt.
