Did Frankie LaPenna get arrested? YouTuber's arrest video goes viral and leaves everyone confused

Image via YouTube/@FrankieLapenna Frankie LaPenna is back in the headlines, but this time, it's not just for the oversized backside or a viral gym video. The internet is exploding after a dramatic 'arrest' clip featuring the Michigan-based content creator began making rounds online. But as with most things in Frankie's world, nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems. Did Frankie LaPenna really get arrested? The video in question opens with a dramatic narrator declaring that Frankie 'finally crossed the line.' The camera cuts to what's claimed to be police bodycam footage showing Frankie, wearing his signature green suit and absurdly large glutes, being chased outside an Arby's. According to the voiceover, he had a public meltdown after losing money in a crypto crash involving his very own token: Gyat Coin. Viewers are told that LaPenna resisted arrest and was eventually tackled near a nightclub after sprinting 'over a mile' on foot. The arrest supposedly ended with him being booked on a $12,000 bail at 2:48 a.m. Fans aren't convinced, and the internet is doing its thing Frankie's followers, who are all too familiar with his over-the-top skits, weren't convinced. Comments flooded in with viewers pointing out multiple signs that the arrest might be staged. Some noticed the bodycam footage lacked standard police details like date stamps. Others claimed the person shown getting fingerprinted didn't even look like Frankie. To add to the suspicion, eagle-eyed fans recognized scenes that had appeared in previous videos, including one chase where Frankie's running with Arby's burgers in both hands before getting tackled outside a nightclub. Frankie's history of chaos makes it all even more confusing Frankie's done this before . In fact, staged run-ins with the police have become a recurring theme in his content. Just last month, he uploaded a clip featuring a police 'bike chase' that ended in him crashing headfirst into a tree. Before that? A 'public warning' collab with the Fort Lauderdale PD, all in good fun. His content is chaotic, theatrical, and always slightly off-kilter, which makes it super viral and super hard to tell what's real and what's not. So what's the truth behind the viral arrest? At the moment, there's no official record of Frankie LaPenna being arrested. No police department has confirmed the incident. And a few corners of the internet have even matched parts of the footage to older videos, suggesting it's a mashup of previous stunts with some new edits thrown in.
