Reality Star Reacts To Copy-Cat Prank Gone Wrong

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. -- A local actor made famous in part by pulling painful pranks issued a warning after a copy-cat seriously injured a drive-through employee over the weekend.

"When pranks and stunts become pain and hurt people, and do things like that, and ruins people's lives, it's not funny any more," said Telly Blackwood.

Blackwood is a reality show star who appeared on MTV's Viva La Bam. He credits members of that cast with creating the "Fire in the Hole" prank years ago.

In the stunt, drive-through customers throw food or beverages they've ordered back at the cashier.

Over the weekend, someone copied the stunt, leaving a Boston Market cashier with second-degree and third-degree burns.

"I think it's out of control," Blackwood said.

Blackwood called KCRA 3 after hearing about the prank that injured that employee, David Almas.

KCRA 3 spoke to Almas Sunday night about pranks like the ones Blackwood used to pull. Many are posted online, and Almas said he found it appalling that people would make light of something so serious.

Blackwood admits he sometimes feels responsible for giving people the ideas.

"I encourage all to not do those things," Blackwood said.

Roseville police are still looking for the people responsible for the prank that injured Almas.

They could face felony assault charges.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt this guy with the black hat and bottom lip pierced "Leatherface" from offthehooktelevision?

Is that why this is on here?

[offthehooktelevision]

@geostillo78 Your answer is YES! Leatherface is no longer doing stunts and dangerous pranks anymore so he came forward to help educate the community about kids doing these stunts and pranks. 

[offthehooktelevision]

Off The Hook Television does not engage in public pranks that could cause injury to anyone other than ourselves.
