If this isn't one more reason to wash your fruit before you eat it, I don't know what is. 

Manassas Police arrested a man last weekend after he was seen committing a major grocery store faux pas: Witnesses reported seeing the man pick fruit from the shelf, drop his pants, and rub the fruit on his buttocks region before then returning it to the shelf. 

Yep.

After Michael Dwayne Johnson, 27, was arrested on charges of destruction of property and indecent exposure, the Giant grocery store responded by destroying several pallets of produce, just in case. (Thank goodness).

Police officer Charles Sharp told USA Today that they do not believe a mental health issue was at play. Since Johnson was accompanied by someone at the time, the act may have been part of a prank or a joke.

The lesson is this: Always wash your produce before using it -- and even spray it with specially formulated fruit wash spray. That grocery store produce is sitting there unmanned for days before it ends up in your grocery cart. You don't know what's been done to it or where it's been.
