ATLANTA (CNN/WSB) - Shoppers in one suburban Atlanta Walmart got quite a shock Wednesday afternoon.
Surveillance video shows a man grabbing a metal baseball bat and smashing flat screen televisions on display in the electronics department while oher shoppers backed away.
Police say Wesley Strellis destroyed 29 televisions before he threw down the bat, which he'd reportedly gotten from the sporting goods section. He was arrested a few minutes later.
Altogether, the 29 TVs are reported to be valued at more than $22,000.
Police say they're still trying to figure out what may have prompted Strellis' outburst.
