So this YouTuber is in big trouble. He allegedly tried to unalive a cop. Now the guy's name is Eric and Eric's an influencer living in New York. And he's very popular on YouTube, almost 3 million followers. And he does videos where he like tours luxury homes. He does walkthroughs and these aren't just like pretty nice houses. Some of these are like $500 million mansions. And so this is a really good gig for him because over time his channel has been growing and he's been getting really successful. Here he is with his YouTube play button after hitting a million subscribers. In fact, he's been getting so popular that on his channel, he does a workout video with Chris Hemsworth. Pretty cool. Not to mention he's huge on TikTok, 1.3 million followers and Instagram with almost a million followers. So clearly Bro found a decent niche for himself and he's doing really well. Until one day, Eric screws it all up. Earlier this year, he puts out a video on YouTube, and in it, he announces that he's been sober from alcohol for several years.
1,444 days sober from alcohol today.
And you know, good for him for getting his life together. But then just a few months later, he apparently falls off the wagon because he's driving his Jeep around town one day and police pull him over and they find that old Eric is anything but sober. And one news source says he was drunk driving. Another news source says he was driving while high on Zaza. So it's likely one of those two things. Regardless, he was allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated on something. And so bam, they arrest him. Now, this has nothing to do with him attacking a cop. This is just him falling off the wagon. We'll get to the thing about him attacking a cop. Anyway, so soon after this, he gets out of jail on bond. And he posts about his arrest like a thousand times on his Twitter.
I guess he's upset about it. He claims that police put the cuffs on him too tight. And you can actually see in this picture here he posted, he's got a bruise on his wrist there. And he says he's suing the police for violating his constitutional rights. Okay, bro. But then, a few days later, he screws up again. And this time, it's much worse. Because he's driving around New Hampshire for some reason, and he's speeding. He's doing around 60 miles an hour in a 35. And suddenly, boom, he flies right by a police officer. And the cops like, oh, hell no. And he pulls out behind Eric and he turns on his lights. And a bystander actually got this footage of the cop following him. So this is this is actual footage.
Now, most people in this situation would immediately pull over like, oh, man, I got caught speeding. And then, you know, you pay your ticket and you move on with your life. But that's not what Eric does. Instead, Eric's like the police and he just keeps on driving. So this cop is like following him for a while and finally Eric's like, all right, and he pulls over. So then the police officer pulls up and he orders Eric to get out of the vehicle. Then I guess Eric changes his mind and he's like the police again and he drives away again. So now the officer's got to get back in his car and chase him, hoping he'll finally give up and pull over. About eight miles later, Eric finally does pull over again, but he pulls over to the oncoming lane for some reason.
So the officer pulls up behind him and he gets out of his car to approach Eric's Jeep. Then allegedly for some reason, we still don't know why, but Eric throws the Jeep in reverse and skirt floors it and pow hits the cop with his vehicle. And the officer flies like 20 to 40 feet before boom, he lands on the ground. And skrrt, Eric speeds away. And pretty quickly, the officer calls for backup. And now, there are multiple cops chasing Eric, trying to catch him. And this chase goes on for 28 miles. And eventually, police throw down some of those spike strips, and Eric runs over them, and pow, his tires blow out. And just like that, the chase is over, because his Jeep is f***ed. And you can actually see a picture of it here, with all the tires flat. And so bam, they arrest him.
