Community Alert: Water Bead Trend
The Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of a trend in which individuals, often teens, shoot “Orbeez,” or water beads, from modified water or BB guns. While this is not illegal, it’s important to participate in this activity responsibly to ensure the safety of everyone in our community. Do not trespass, and avoid wearing dark colored clothing when participating in this trend. Ensure that water or BB guns aren’t painted dark colors and avoid participating during dusk or nighttime. Additionally, never shoot at people, animals or property. We urge our citizens to participate in this trend responsibly, and also share this information to apprise our community of it.
