YouTubers are complex, riveting individuals. From their pranks to their
need for entertaining storytimes, and then the YouTubers who are just plain
criminals. Here are 12 YouTubers who got arrested. It's not every YouTuber who's
been arrested, but don't you worry there's a part 2 coming soon. Subscribe.
Number 1: Roman Atwood. In March of 2014, Roman Atwood was arrested after he
bought a fake ATM machine and staged a fake break in of that ATM with play money.
A bystander then called the cops because that sh*t looked suspicious, obviously, and
him and his entire crew were taken away in cop cars for inducing panic and
disorderly conduct. And on the court date, fans showed up in support of Roman
Atwood, and even the local news covered the story and his not guilty verdict. We
just won, we just won! Number 2: SSSniperWolf. Lea aka SSSniperWolf was
arrested on August 13, 2016 after neighbors heard screaming from her
apartment and called the police. The next day she tweeted a photo of her
mug shot and said, "so neighbors called cops cuz they heard screaming and I
got arrested for disorderly conduct lol at my mugshot tho." And then a week
later she gave her audience the storytime that everybody wanted. "I decided to
talk. I told them we were just fighting. We just got into a fight, there was
screaming, but like we're fine now. And things were fine when the cops came
here, because I was back in my room, I was editing. And for some reason they weren't
having it. We're gonna have to arrest both of you guys. I'm like, "Wait. What?!"
Number 3: LispyJimmy. YouTuber LispyJimmy first uploaded a video on
August 25, 2016 claiming that he was arrested for lighting a cigarette while
driving. "How the f*ck are you going to smell marijuana as you're driving behind me with your
windows up, and I'm not even smoking weed? And the officer decides to say, 'I saw you
lighting something up while you were driving and running that red light.' There
was a cigarette being lit in the vehicle. Are you f*cking serious? That's the
reason you pulled me over, dude?" But in an unsurprising twist of events, he uploaded
another video on February 5, 2017 where he clarifies a little bit
that he was actually caught with marijuana.
"So, around six months ago your boy LispyJimmy was arrested and convicted for
marijuana. Yes, I was actually arrested for marijuana, guys. I had marijuana in my
vehicle. I was a savage weed smoker, alright?" I'm just saying that was a lot of
passion and the repeated yelling of, "It was a cigarette," for someone to be lying.
Guys, he 's a savage weed smoker. He just can't help it.
Number 4: Whiteboy7thst. The FBI has warned against a phenomena in the gaming
world called, "swatting." Basically, as gamers are livestreaming, someone calls
in a serious threat and watches as the SWAT team comes in and arrests them on
camera. Popular YouTuber, Alexander Wachs aka Whiteboy7thst had this happen to him in 2014.
But instead of getting off because it was just a prank,
the SWAT team actually found small traces of marijuana and the poor guy was
arrested. I'm guessing it was the dog. Number 5: Jonah Green. In September
2013, Jonah Green was among 20 college students that were arrested when a riot
broke out at the university he was attending. The hardcore partying college
entertainment site, "I'm Shmaked," visited campus and sold tickets to students
without an actual venue, and then a riot broke out. In a video posted to his
channel, Green explains the riot that broke out. "Cars are trying to get through
and then like kids start jumping on top of these cars trying to move and then
they're like knocking over trash cans and setting shit on fire." He eventually
goes on to say that his image was caught on surveillance camera just walking
through the crowds, but that photo was put up on a local news website and then they
said that if you see him he should be taken in to get arrested, so he turned
himself in. And then he was charged for rioting, jaywalking, and disorderly
conduct. Number 6: Tana Mongeau. On April 24, 2017
18-year-old YouTuber Tana Mongeau was arrested and charged at Coachella for
being a minor in possession of alcohol. In a story time video that Tana uploaded
to her channel she explains that while in a VIP area at Coachella she accepted
a drink from a bartender who recognized her from her videos. And then Coachella
police spotted her holding said drink. "Officer f*cking Flower Crown grabbed both of my
hands, puts them behind my back, and puts me in handcuffs."
Number 7: Steven Fernandez. 15-year-old pro-skateboarder and YouTuber Steven
Fernandez was arrested in December 2015 for the alleged sexual exploitation of a
12-year-old girl. In a statement from detectives, Fernandez, his 22-year-old
manager, and a fellow pro-skateboarder allegedly "promised to introduce the girl
to A-list performers and appear in Fernandez's is non-existent MTV special in
return for her engaging in sexual acts with Fernandez, Barajas, and Keelan
Lamar Dadd, who was 27, the third man charged in the case. Both Fernandez and
Jose Barajas were arrested in a sting operation. Detectives posed as the 12-
year-old girl and arranged via text to meet at an abandoned house where they
were then arrested. All three men were eventually released after posting bail.
Since then, three more young girls have come out alleging that Fernandez has
sexually assaulted them, but nothing has come of that. Number 8:
TrollStation. The four guys behind the YouTube channel TrollStation were
arrested following their Art Gallery Heist Prank where they brought in fake
paintings and a fake alarm system and proceeded to fake rob the place. It
only caused a stampede and a woman passed out. It was just a prank!
Why did you pass out ma'am? It was a prank.
They each served around 5 month sentences. Number 9: Joel Hradecky.
Joel Hradecky, aka customgrow420, a YouTuber famous for his weed reviews and weed related
stunts, uploaded a video of him and his friends smoking weed and hanging out at
the abandoned Vance Creek Bridge in Washington. Well, cops got word of the
video that he posted to his YouTube channel and because of the many "no
trespassing" signs around the place they decided to try and catch him. And by try I
mean they didn't have to try very hard at all because he has this truck's make
and model and his license plate very visible in the video. But don't worry,
y'all! He's taken this incident and his house arrest very seriously. Number 10:
RossCreations. In 2013 Charles Ross was first arrested for doing a flip over two
cops. But just recently in May of 2017 he was arrested and charged with grand theft
for removing a stop sign. Police only found him after he posted the video to
his YouTube channel. Unfortunately it's been taken down. Another video that was
taken down was Ross asking his viewers to give him money for his legal fees.
Number 11: Rusian Sokolovsky. Russian YouTuber Rusian Sokolovsky got a three-
and-a-half year suspended sentence for filming a video of himself playing
Pokemon Go in an Orthodox Church. The judge said that the video showed his
"disrespect for society" and that he "intended to offend religious sentiments."
That's illegal over there? This is the least offensive one of them I would say. And
finally, number 12 :Cameron Dallas. The police were called to Cameron Dallas's
apartment on March 19, 2015 after someone threw a paint can off his sixth
floor balcony and almost hit a woman below. When cops arrived, Dallas, his
friends, and his apartment were all covered in paint. Apparently they were
filming a video. Shocking. As these things typically go, Cameron posted a video
about the arrest on his channel. "I told him to come outside and film what they
were doing. So he comes outside and he's filming and the cop sees that. The cop
grabs his camera, puts it on the wall, and then puts him in handcuffs and tells
everyone inside to come out and put them in handcuffs."
Dallas was technically arrested on felony vandalism charges and held on
$20,000 bail. He and his friends were released later that night. So there you
have it folks. Which arrests shocked you the most? Let
