Analysis Summary
Two 18-year-old Ocala residents—Janek Szkaradek and Luke Charske—were arrested after driving and filming a lawnmower stunt through a Target store on SW College Road, damaging a door. The incident was part of a pattern: the night before, Szkaradek also used a leaf blower inside a nearby Culver's to film social media content. Ocala Police say the stunts endangered customers and workers—they weren't pranks. Both teens face disorderly conduct charges; Szkaradek also faces criminal mischief charges.
