Duke Dennis, Twitch and YouTube star, arrested while playing hide and seek at Texas mall
The content creator — whose real name is Denzel Dennis — is part of the online collective know as AMP, which also includes streaming superstar Kai Cenat.
Dennis, 31, was at the Shops at Rivercenter on Saturday night playing hide and seek with others while the mall was closed, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
Officers responded to the mall "to remove individuals playing hide and seek" as they were "causing disruption throughout the area," police said. Security guards had advised said individuals — including Dennis — to leave the mall but they refused, per police.
"An officer instructed the suspect to leave, and the suspect verbally and physically refused to leave the location," police said. "An officer instructed the suspect to place his hands by his back and that he would be arrested for criminal trespassing private property."
Dennis allegedly ran away, but security guards and officers were able to arrest him, police said. He was charged with criminal trespassing and evading arrest, according to online records.
Another person allegedly tried to interfere with Dennis' arrest by pushing an officer. This individual was also arrested and charged with five counts, including three counts of assault on an officer, one count of interfering with the duties of a public servant and one count of resisting arrest, per online records.
Video circulating on social media shows a person who appears to be Dennis getting arrested at the Shops at Rivercenter. Kai Cenat can also be seen in the video, seemingly recording the arrest from the floor above.
Dennis has not publicly commented on his arrest, but did share a story to his Instagram on Sunday alluding to him taking a social media break.
"Officially on vacation, need suggestions on where to go...See yall later," Dennis wrote.
AMP, which stands for "Any Means Possible," is a YouTube collective consisting of Dennis, Cenat, Agent 00, Fanum, ImDavisss and ChrisNxtDoor. The group is known for documenting themselves as they partake in an array of challenges, and sometimes collaborate with other social media personalities for content, including Mr. Beast, Druski and Keith Lee.
The group spent the month of July streaming their daily activities for 12 hours a day in what they called "AMP Summer." The trailer for "AMP Summer" featured musician T-Pain.
It is not clear if the game of hide and seek at the Shops at Rivercenter was part of an AMP video.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs are still going strong. After being hit with rumors of a possible split, the rapper and NFL star put those claims to rest with a raunchy exchange on Instagram over the weekend. Ahead of her gig hosting WWE's SummerSlam, Cardi posted a photo to IG on Aug. 1 showing off her new Liem Homme outfit.

There are many ways to bring clean water to people so that it lasts.

All projects will be community-led and maintained and built to last."
