YouTuber Arrested On Livestream

I wonder if he was livestreaming with this, but it looks to complicated for an idiot like him to use. A YouTube lifestreamer who goes by “Arab Andy” online was arrested last night in Seattle after walking into a University of Washington classroom and playing a text-to-speech bomb threat. Andy’s stream continues after the college area is evacuated. He’s heard boasting about creating a highlight reel, claiming this will be one of his biggest lifestreams yet. His stream continued even as he was arrested, and text-to-speech comments can be heard mocking the situation. The University of Washington police department issued a statement on its website following the incident. “Around 5 p.m., a man walked into a classroom in Savery Hall on the University of Washington campus, filming with a phone in his hand,” the UWPD said. “He asked for everyone’s attention and a pre-recorded message emitted from a speaker on his jacket, announcing something to the effect of ‘The C4 is charged’ and a countdown began. People ran from the room and activated the fire alarm on their way out.” The University of Washington Police didn’t specify whether “Arab Andy” was charged with faking a bomb threat. The state of Washington considers fake bomb threats a class B felony, meaning that “Arab Andy” could be charged with committing a crime, and face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison or a $20,000 fine. “Officers contacted the man on University Way NE shortly thereafter and he was arrested on charges of making a bomb threat,” the police department said in a statement. “The investigation revealed this was a prank and there was no device on him or left in the room. UWPD, in collaboration with Seattle fire and Seattle police, determined there was no ongoing danger.”
