Two 20-year-old men were arrested Wednesday in connection with playing a pornographic DVD at a local Walmart on store display televisions, police said.
Cody Allen Sexton, 20, and Kenny Dean Andrews, 20, of Muldrow were booked into the Sebastian County Adult Detention Center on a felony obscenity complaint, according to jail records.
“They thought they were just pulling a prank,” said Sgt. Levi Risley of the Fort Smith Police Department.
Sexton and Andrews — an employee of the store — allegedly removed a promotional DVD from a DVD player built into a display in the furniture aisle.
The DVD player was connected to six televisions in the store.
“The pornographic DVD was visible to the general public as they were shopping,” according to a police report.
Eventually, a customer notified a manager and the DVD was removed from the player, according to the police report.
Authorities released the store surveillance video to KFSM Channel 5 to air on the Crime Stoppers segment on the 10 p.m. newscast Tuesday and within six minutes of the broadcast, someone called Crime Stoppers with the identity of the two suspects, said Risley.
Crime Stoppers is a cooperative effort between law enforcement and KFSM, according to the Police Department’s Web site.
