Overview

• Tempe police arrested 21-year-old Heston Cobb on July 23 and he was released on bond on July 25 after being booked on multiple felony and misdemeanor counts.
• Authorities say Cobb and a group of accomplices posed as employees at Pep Boys, Jiffy Lube, Chipotle, Hyland Auto Repair and Big Brand Tire & Service, causing disruptions by entering restricted areas and refusing to leave.
• Digital evidence connecting Cobb to videos that racked up millions of views led to his arrest and the deletion of his 1.6 million-follower TikTok account.
• He faces one count of third-degree burglary, two counts of criminal impersonation, five counts of disorderly conduct and five counts of criminal trespass.
• Investigators have shifted focus to mapping his network of accomplices and examining how the pranks generated revenue on social media platforms.
