A device and method for executing self-defense using non-lethal form of weaponry provides for the use of capsaicinoids-containing repellant admixed with a solid marking agent. The marking agent contains material not soluble in water. The marking agent can be glitter particles having particle size of between 50 microns and 3000 microns. A canister containing pepper spray and the glitter particles can be carried by law enforcement personnel or civilians. Once the repellant agent is dispensed it deposits on the skin and clothing of a suspect, making it easier to identify the suspect.
