OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Two Florida teens were arrested after authorities say one of them drove a lawnmower through a Target store while the other recorded the incident for social media.

The incident occurred Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Target location on SW College Rd., where 18-year-old Janek Szkaradek allegedly drove the mower inside the store, damaging a door, according to officials. Another 18-year-old, Luke Charske, recorded the stunt.

Both teens were charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the Target incident. Charske was charged as a principal to disorderly conduct.

Authorities said the stunt was not an isolated incident. The night before, Szkaradek allegedly entered a nearby Culver’s restaurant on SW College Rd. and used a leaf blower inside the business.

Szkaradek was charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct for the Culver’s incident, as well as disorderly conduct for the Target incident.

No injuries were reported, but authorities said the actions caused property damage and posed a risk to customers and employees. Officials emphasized that such behavior can have serious consequences.

“These actions endangered people and caused property damage,” authorities said. “They are crimes, not harmless videos.”
