MrBeast Confirms IShowSpeed’s ‘Arrest’ Was a Staged Prank During North Carolina Livestream

The production simulated police action through a Florida ticket pretext with hired officers, leaving no booking or charges.

Overview

  • The storyline cited an alleged unpaid speeding citation from Florida before the on-stream reveal that the scene was manufactured.
  • MrBeast appeared to unveil the gag and said the chat voted to keep the streamer "locked up" for 30 days as part of the bit.
  • Coverage confirms there was no official custody, booking, or legal jeopardy connected to the episode.
  • Clips drew large view counts and mixed reactions, with some viewers spotting tells like a Feastables sticker on the set as the tour continues.
