Recently, the Twitch streamer JiDion was arrested during one of his live streams. The Twitch influencer was arrested for events relating to a recent project prank of his. This prank involved entering a university class and not leaving when told to do so. He was arrested on April 16th after being stopped by the police in relation to his earlier prank. When stopped, he lacked to take the situation seriously, instead choosing to live stream the arrest on Instagram. He even went so far as to pose for the arrest, asking the officer handling him to do the same. His apathetic attitude toward the ordeal continued until the live stream was shut down, and he was taken to the police department.

The details of the pank surround Valentine’s Day, where Twitch streamer JiDion worked with Damii to invade a class during a lecture. During the prank, they offered the female professor a teddy bear and flowers while filming the prank. She was not impressed and firmly asked them to leave. Only when the woman decided to call security did they leave. However, after the incident, the university called the police and put out a warrant for JiDion. The warrant was for trespassing and evading security once it was called. As far as we know, the content creator Damii hasn’t suffered any repercussions due to the incident.
Twitch streamer JiDion is generally well known for being a controversial streamer, often producing comedy content and prank videos. This controversy with the Twitch influencer is often cited by his actions against women and his reported misogyny. These attitudes eventually caused him to become banned from Twitch due to his efforts in hate raiding the streamer Pokimane. In recent history, JiDion has been suffering some loss of viewership, now even more due to the incident. His viewership seems to rely on shock value, which cannot be done well within police custody. During the live stream, his agent and lawyer were notified, so it’s unlikely that he will stay in police custody for very long.
