Man licked deodorant at Walmart while saying ‘coronavirus’: cops

A self-described “nasty moths f–ker” licked a row of deodorant at a Missouri Walmart, and then asked, “Who’s scared of coronavirus?” revolting video shows.

The unsanitary suspect — identified by Warrenton police as 26-year-old Cody Lee Pfister — can be seen sliding his tongue across a row of personal hygiene products during the 5-second video clip posted to Twitter.

“Don’t touch your mouth,” Pfister says after his disgusting deed.

Pfister’s tongue appeared to touch several products during the quick video, which included the caption: “I’m a nasty moths f–ker!!!”

The footage garnered both local and international complaints, including some from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Ireland, Warrenton police said.

“We take these complaints very seriously and would like to thank all of those who reported the video so the issue could be addressed,” police said in a statement Monday while announcing the man’s arrest.

Pfister, of Warrenton, has been charged by Warren County prosecutors with making a terrorist threat in the second degree. He was arrested Monday at a residence in Warrenton after the March 11 incident at the Walmart, Lt. Justin Unger told The Post.

“I wouldn’t say it was shocking because you never know what you have to deal with in this job, but it was certainly very disturbing,” Unger said of the footage.

The items that were licked by Pfister at the Walmart in Warrenton were located and thrown away, Unger said.

The footage, which had been viewed more than 4.3 million times on Twitter as of Wednesday, sparked disgust and anger.

“Knock that guy out,” one reply read, while another suggested that the man face attempted murder charges if he’s “infected” with COVID-19.

“His parents must be so proud,” one woman wrote.
