BELOVED YouTube creator MrBeast worried fans in May 2023 after pictures of him getting arrested went viral.
Here's what we know about the pictures and his arrest.
Did MrBeast get arrested?
In May 2023, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, was pulled over in North Carolina while driving a Tesla.
At the time, cops told him that the traffic stop was for his tinted windows, however, after running his divers license, an arrest warrant popped up over "communicating threats," according to the Daily Mail.
Cops then proceeded to handcuff and transport him to a holding cell- where he was left without food or water.
At first, the news of MrBeast's arrest worried fans, but it was later revealed that the stunt was a prank pulled off by fellow YouTuber Airrack.

A video of Airrack's prank was posted on Youtube and received over 4.6million views in one day.
The prank was so good, that even MrBeast himself was worried.
"I was like, this might be a prank. I was like, this is a lot of resources for a prank. When I got in there I was like, Okay wait. Maybe this isn't a prank," MrBeast said.
