"Charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly "

Police in Scottsdale, Arizona have charged popular YouTuber Jake Paul for his alleged participation in a mall riot over the weekend. Paul was charged with two misdemeanor crimes — criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly. He was “issued a summons to appear in court in a month,” according to a statement from Scottsdale Police Department sent to The Verge. The charges were first reported by ABC15 Arizona.

“Following the riots and looting that occurred on the evening of May 30 2020 at Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, the Scottsdale Police Department received hundreds of tips and videos identifying social media influencer, Jake Joseph Paul, as a participant in the riot,” Scottsdale Police Department said in a statement to The Verge. “Our investigation has revealed that Paul was present after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and the rioters were ordered to leave the area by the police. Paul also unlawfully entered and remained inside of the mall when it was closed.”

Paul previously denied his participation in any looting activity. He issued a lengthy statement on Twitter following multiple videos posted to Instagram and Twitter showing himself and members of his crew outside and inside an Arizona mall where looting was taking place. Paul’s statement claims that “neither I, nor anyone in our group, was engaged in any looting or vandalism.”

“We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more attention to the anger felt in every neighborhood we traveled through; we were strictly documenting, not engaging,” Paul wrote in a statement posted to Twitter.

I thought they were from Ohio

 

[Grinchy]

But he's just "protesting!"

Seriously, it's awesome to see. This guy is just such a douche.

 

[Naibel]

When you think they can't dig themselves in a bigger hole, they do.

That's the Paul brothers's story for ya.

 

[Flash Junkins]

1) Good. He's a fucking idiot.
2) Wonder if they would have arrested him if not for point #1.

 

[Foamy]

If only they had knelt on Jake Paul's neck for 9 minutes. We can only dream.

 

[HoodWinked]

Seems like another stunt that will only help to make him more famous.

He has millions for lawyers nothing will happen to him actually maybe he can take some money from those clown charities for arrested protestors

 

[GymWolf]

Boxe sparring with paulo costa damaged even more his tiny brain...

 

[Falcs]

Throw that cunt in prison.

 

[-YFC-]

He's so thirsty for publicity. Throw him in jail and throw away the key.

 

[H4ze]

What a piece of shit, I mean, just look at him, would love to carve is stupid face in with a rusty spoon.

 

[Sybrix]

He'll pay his way out of trouble

God Bless Umerica!
