Jake Paul in trouble again? What a shocker.
Just days after being cleared on all charges involving his alleged May 2020 looting spree, Jake Paul is back in trouble —this time with city-level charges being pressed against him.
If you think of internet entertainers as constantly being involved with some sort of controversy, the Paul brothers are probably towards the top of that list. The case of Jake Paul’s May 2020 Federal charges after an alleged looting spree in a Scottsdale, Arizona shopping mall is no different.
Jake responded to the allegations of looting, stating that his crew was at the location to “peacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen.”
Going on in his statement posted to Twitter, he stated: “However, I do not condone violence, looting or breaking the law.”
The YouTuber’s statement was taken lightly, due to video of him allegedly taking a bottle of vodka from a PF Chang’s restaurant the day before.
In early June 2020, just days after the Jake Paul’s incident on May 30, he was charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly by the United States FBI. Just two months later, the FBI proceeded to raid the YouTube star’s home.
The raid — which was done during a house party at the star’s home — was done in an attempt to find information regarding his alleged looting, but instead, they found guns scattered across Paul’s back yard, all of which were confiscated.
