Moment YouTube megastar MrBeast is handcuffed and arrested by cops who threw him in a cell

YouTube megastar MrBeast is handcuffed and arrested by cops who pulled him over in his Tesla and then threw him into a cell without food or water.

The popular 25-year-old content creator, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, was the victim of a revenge plot by fellow YouTube star Airrack over a prank played on him over a year ago.

Donaldson fooled Airrack, real name Eric Decker, into having one of his producers pretend to quit to join MrBeast’s crew.

Decker said he was mortified as the skit unfolded and decided to stage an even more elaborate prank.

He asked the New York City Police Department for help, convincing Donaldson to go to jail.

The plan fell through in New York, so they decided to move it to North Carolina where Mr Beast lives.

The video, which has been viewed more than two million times on YouTube, shows officers pulling over MrBeast’s Tesla.

The officers told him it was because of the car’s tinted windows, but then they said there was a warrant for his arrest for “communicating threats.”

MrBeast is seen exiting the vehicle and then handcuffed by officers.

At first he seemed amused, but when a cop helped him into the back of his car and asked him if anyone had threatened him lately, he refused to talk.

Then he was put in a cell, he was not given any food or drink and he had to wait for a long time.

MrBeast was then told to make his only call.

However, police officers dialed Airrack’s number instead.

He then revealed to MrBeast that the arrest was in fact a prank.

“There’s someone here who told me to talk to you,” you hear the officer say on the phone.

He then passed the phone to MrBeast for the big reveal.

Airrack said, “Hey, do you need anything?”

MrBeast replied that he needed his lawyer.

Airrack replied, ‘James said he’s talking to Alan [MrBeast’s lawyer] straight away.’

He then said he had a message from his ‘Alan’ and told MrBeast to look into the police officer’s bodycam.

“Alan says to look into the cop’s bodycam and say, ‘I just ‘got’ on Get Got,” Airrack said.

It was then that it became clear that it was a joke.

MrBeast later admitted in the clip that he thought the prank was real.

“I thought, maybe this is a joke. I was like, this is a lot of sources for a joke. When I got there I was like, okay, wait. Maybe this isn’t a joke, he said.
