All right. What's up, guys? So, you already read the title of this video. Uh, I got arrested on March 1st, 2026, at approximately 7:55 to 8:00 a.m. boarding a flight to the Bahamas. Here is the story of how I got arrested, why I got arrested, what happened while I was being arrested. I was arrested and held for 3 days. So, here is the full story.
I booked a trip to the Bahamas with my girlfriend and her family. I was supposed to go. I wake up on Sunday morning, whatever, 5:00 a.m., and we head over to the airport. I get to the airport about 5:30, 5:35 a.m., you know, I wait on the line, passport, whatever, check the bags, whatever. I make it through TSA. I head over to the United Lounge and I'm chilling up there. I'm with uh my girlfriend and her family and I'm at the bar just having a a casual drink with my girlfriend's dad and then we uh we start boarding the plane.
So, we get in line to board the plane on first class. So, we're boarding first and we're waiting on the line, boarding group one or whatever. I don't remember. Um, but the first to board the plane. So, as I am on the line to board the plane, there's approximately 12 people, 10 to 12 people in front of us. And uh you know, I see like a couple of the cops pulling up and they're just pulling up and hanging out and I'm like, "Oh, like whatever." And then I notice like one of them makes eye contact with me and I'm staring at him and he's staring at me and I'm like, "Oh, like that's weird." And then I see the other one staring at me. I'm like, "That's also weird. Like, why the [ __ ] are they staring at me?" But whatever. Obviously, I didn't do anything wrong, so I had no suspicion of what was about to happen. Yeah.
So, my whole girlfriend's family's in front of me and I'm the last to go. So, they all like scan their ticket or whatever and they walk through the little [ __ ] door. As I'm about to scan my [ __ ] and show my passport or show my ticket or whatever, the cop, one of the cops asks my girlfriend's grandma how she knows the the kid in the purple hoodie, which was me. And uh my my girlfriend's grandma was like, "Oh, that's so that's my granddaughter's boyfriend or whatever." And then one of the other boys pulls up and he's like, "Turn around, put your hands behind your back. Uh, don't resist us or whatever." I was like, "I wasn't."
So, I'm just at this point I'm like, "Very confused, you know?" Turn around, put my hands behind my back. They do like a They cuff me, whatever. One of the boys is holding my my wrist back uh in like a [ __ ] gooseeneck. And then uh the other dude has my arm. And then there's a third dude, I guess, monitoring the situation. My girlfriend's family's kind of like, "What the fuck?" My girlfriend's like, "What the [ __ ] going on?" blah blah blah. And so, uh, she hops off of the plane or like the little tarmac or whatever that tunnel thing is. I don't know what it's called, but she hops off that [ __ ]. I never even crossed the threshold into the tunnel. That's where they scoot me like as I was about to get in there. So, whatever.
They start walking me over. So, they walk me through the airport. I got my hands behind my back. I'm walking. You know, they're not explaining [ __ ] to me. So, I don't say [ __ ]. You know? So, I'm just walking with them. And uh at one point, one of the dudes is like, "Uh, yeah, like once we get to the um like once we get to our spot, we'll tell you what's going on." I'm like, "All right." So, at this point, I'm like, "Freaking out. I'm like, 'What the [ __ ] is even going on?' Like, I obviously I don't do anything wrong, so I'm just kind of confused on the whole situation." Uh, maybe a 10-minute walk over to a police car outside of uh the airport.
So, we do about a 10-minute walk to the police car. I they help me into the police car in the back. They buckle me up and uh we start driving. We drive to about maybe 3 to 5 minutes to a location. They pop me out the car and uh we walk in somewhere else. So, we walk in somewhere else in a a separate section of Newark airport, which is in New Jersey. Uh, if anybody doesn't know that. Yeah. They pop me out the car, start walking up to the like I guess another section of the airport. It was not yet the TSA holding. It was more I think like a questioning area. So they walk me up. They walk me into an elevator. We go upstairs. They search me. They pat me down. They search through my bag. They obviously don't find anything. U I had a watch on. They take my watch off. They put it in my bag. They show me my belongings and what I had on me and they say, "Here's where it is, whatever." And then finally, one of the dudes is like, "Uh, all right. Here, come here." They cuffed me to a chair, like a bench or a chair. Cuff me to the chair. Then the dude finally like it t this all takes a while. This is all it's it's about an hour. It's about 40 minutes to an hour until I find out why I was arrested in the first place.
So he comes up to me and he's like, "Yeah, so uh the reason you have been arrested is because you have a grand larceny charge in the state of Florida uh over $5,000 and under $10,000." And I'm like, "Grand larceny, like what the [ __ ]?" He's like, "Basically that means that you have stolen um an amount over $5,000 stolen hypothetically, right? Allegedly, I should say, allegedly stolen uh more than $5,000 worth of something from somebody else and somebody made a civil suit or some some [ __ ] like that. And uh you have a so you have a warrant out for your arrest in the state of Florida and you were just caught trying to leave the country, trying to flee the country." And I'm like, "What the [ __ ]?"
So, I'm caught up with at this point fugitive of the state cuz I was trying to leave the country and um Grand Larceny or Grand Larson, I don't know the exact wording. It was either Grand Larceny or Grand Larson uh of an amount over 5K. That was like the charge in Florida and that's why they issued a warrant out for my arrest in the state of Florida. So, um, from there they explain that to me and they tell me like, "Listen, uh, we're going to call the boys up. They're going to pull up. They're going to bring you to the TSA holding while we sort this out with Florida. If Florida wants you, we have to extradite you to Florida uh, so that you could go to a trial or see a judge or whatever the case."
And at this point, my head's spinning. I'm like, "What the fuck?" But I'm mad comfortable because I'm like, "Oh, they're gonna clear this up because uh obviously there's scammers impersonating me on Facebook and like Telegram and shit." I'm like, "It's so obvious to these people that it's not me." Like, why would I finesse somebody out of, you know, $5,000? At the time, it was grand larceny over $5,000, under $10,000. So, why would I finesse somebody out of this amount? Like, I'm sure they'll figure it out. Whatever. Uh, at this point, I don't say a [ __ ] word. I'm just like, "Uh, when do I get a lawyer? Give me a call." Whatever. They're like, "Yeah, we'll get there." And luckily my girlfriend was handling everything from outside calling people. I sit there. I'm comfortable because again, I think I'm getting out like within an hour or two. I think I'm they're going to clear this all up and I'll be out like right then and there.
So again, I got arrested about 7:55 to 8:00 a.m. in that range. At this point, it's probably about like 10:00, uh, 10:00 a.m., maybe 10:30 a.m. I hear one of the officers on the phone with, uh, somebody from Florida, and they're like, "Yeah, we want them." And I'm like, "Oh, great." Like, "What the [ __ ] does this What does this mean now? Like, I can't go to the Bahamas." I'm like, "What the fuck?"
So, another hour goes by where I'm not really informed of what's happening. And then two more officers pull up and they, these guys were, you know, everybody was pretty professional. The officers that handled me. So, these guys pulled up. They took me from, I guess, like this questioning area of the Newark airport into like TSA holding or like some other part of the airport cuz that was then they walked me out the airport. I was I asked one of the officers, I was like, "Yo, can you pop my hood up for me? Like, I don't want like anybody taking videos of me or nothing." He recognized me. So, he pops my hood up for me. That guy was cool. I'm not going to mention any names. Uh, yeah. So they they pull up these other two guys, whatever. He pops my hood up for me. We walk through airport through through like a separate section of the airport. I guess I'm still in the airport cuz it was the questioning area. So then we walk out, we pop in another police car followed by another police car. Like I'm some huge [ __ ] fugitive on the run. Like it was kind of nuts. Uh, little old me. So, little old Vukum.
So, they uh they drive us or me to uh a third location at this point. Right. From 1 to Yeah. So, a third location. They pull up to like the TSA holding. I guess that's what where I was. Or or sorry, Port Authority Police. They pull up, they grab me, walk me through the airport. Guy pops my hood up. Shout out to him. Uh, and we get in the car and we go to uh Port Authority Police Station, which was also located in Newark. At this point, uh, I'm officially under arrest. Like, I was officially under arrest from the start. I asked I was like, "Am I being detained or am I under arrest?" He said, "You're under arrest." I was like, "Motherfucker." Um, and again, all the all the guys that were handling me were were mad respectful and mad cool. So, no, no mistreating there at that point.
So, then we pull up to Port Authority and uh, you know, they searched me again, pat me down again, and then they put me in a I think they think they fingerprinted me at that point. Uh, maybe I believe so. Yeah, they did. They did. They fingerprinted me at that part also. Uh, then they took one my first mug shot um, which I wasn't able to get access to, but my second mug shot I got. So, whatever. Sorry, it was honestly a [ __ ] traumatizing experience obviously, but we uh fingerprint me. Uh, they take they I was actually wearing these pants. They cuz I just washed them obviously. So they cut the string out of my pants. Then they put me in a cell and I was in the cell from approximately like I guess maybe 11:30ish. Again, this is all like estimates. Time moves mad weird when you're in that situation. You know, like your [ __ ] cortisol's through the roof and your [ __ ] heart's like racing. And you're like, "What the [ __ ] bro?" So, yeah, but obviously they took my phone. They took my string out of my pants. And you have nothing else to do. So, that's why I remember all this [ __ ] cuz I'm just looking. I'm observing everything. And again, I still haven't said a word. Uh, I asked questions. I was like, "Why am I being held occasionally?" But like respect, respectful questions. Um, I was in a cell. It was approximately like 8ft by 6 or 7ft. No windows. Uh, there was a toilet, a steel toilet with a steel sink above the toilet and a steel bed and there was a mattress on the bed. So, I'll get there. But I'm in this cell and I'm just like, "What the [ __ ] is going on?" Like, I just want to leave. Like, yeah.
So, they gave me a call there. I called uh my girlfriend and she's like, "Yeah, I was on the phone with Mitch, who's my business partner. Mitch, big shout out to Mitch." But uh he started working right away. He got a lawyer and everything like immediately. But I was I sat in this cell from approximately 11:30 to 12:00 all the way up till again time is moving very weird at this point. I don't even know. But I think it was around uh 7:30ish, 8:00 p.m. So I was in the cell or maybe it might have been 9:00. It might have been honestly I don't know. I it was late. I think it might have been more towards like 9:00 p.m. So I was in the cell till about 9:00 p.m.
So, in the cell, I'm sitting there, I'm just staring or um sitting on the on the [ __ ] metal bed frame staring at the floor or I'm I went on my back and I I dozed off a couple times. But between all that time, it was just honestly torture. You have nothing to do. You just look at the wall. Everything's gray. Gray and steel is what the colors of everything are. Then I ask one of the the officers that are in there. I'm like, "Hey, like what's happening?" He's like, "Yes, at this point we're going to transport you to Essex County Correctional Facility located in Newark." Fantastic [ __ ] place. I'm like, "Motherfucker." Like, that's not good. Like me going into [ __ ] jail. Essex County. If you guys are in Jersey and you know Newark or Essex County, that is not where you want to [ __ ] be. So, at that point, I'm like, "Oh, okay." And I'm trying to play it cool, like whatever. I'm like, "Fuck."
So, the time comes, they uh they transport me to uh Essex County Correctional. I get to Essex County Correctional. Uh the car pic the car that I get into, the police car that I get into, they walk me into the car. I'm in there with another dude uh cuz I guess they didn't have enough. So, I'm in there with another like I guess uh inmate or whatever they call detainee, but he was going to jail. So, I don't know what that's called, but the dude I'm sitting with, he's in the he's in the left side of the seat, I'm in the right side of the seat. We're both cuffed, and I'm just like just chilling. And uh this dude, you know, he didn't speak any English. So, but yeah, so they drive me from the TSA holding center to Essex County Correctional. And we get there and we go through like a the first gate opens, you drive in, that gate closes, uh the cop pops out and hands them their firearms. The two cops in the front seats, they have to hand in their firearms. Then once they hand in their firearms, they go to the second gate. That gate clo then closes. Now you're in there.
So, uh, at this point, I'm in that second part and the cop comes around, opens my door, helps me out, and we walk in. And at this point, I guess I'm getting booked uh into, uh, Essex County. So, pop out. I'm with this dude. I still didn't get his name, but I was with him the whole time, actually. So, it's me and another inmate or another person that they walk out. This dude's huge, like doesn't speak any English. So, they walk both of us into the thing and there's two cos, two guards, uh, that check us in. So, there's one on the left, one on the right. They're both, you know, cool dudes. Like, again, nothing nothing bad happened. And they're just like, "Oh, what's your your name? This that." They take the ID down, whatever, whatever. Again, I'm still in my hoodie. I'm still in my sweatpants. I have I have no string on my sweatpants. And I'm in my uh my slippers. I have my my little Birkenstocks on. They have us, both of us wait in the cell. Me and the other inmate, they have us waiting in the cell. Then they're like, "Okay, we're going to move you guys into this second cell." So, they move us into a second cell. This cell is approximately uh probably about 20ft, 20ft by 10, 12 feet. So, and here it's just me and the Spanish dude. We haven't said anything to each other. At this point, we're uncuffed and they lock the door and whatever. I'm in there. And uh this is after we checked into Essex County.
So then a couple minutes later, they bring some other dude in. This dude comes in. He's like, he's like, "Damn, they caught me again." Like this third dude, sorry. This third dude comes in. "Damn, they caught me again." Blah blah yada yada yada. Walking back and forth in the cell just like talking like, "Fuck, I can't believe they got me again. Fuck." And I'm like, he's like, "What they get you for?" And I'm like, "Dude, I don't even know." He's like, "Damn, that's not that's [ __ ] not right." Uh, me and this dude start kind of talking a little bit again. Small talk. Uh, the Spanish dude still has not said a word. He just he just sat there. Again, I don't think he I don't think he didn't speak a lick of English. So, it's me, this other dude. Uh, other dude was probably about like 5'10, 5'11, 150, 160 lbs. And then plus the the big Spanish guy. A third a fourth dude comes in. Uh, once there was four of us in this big holding cell, this all took about an hour and a halfish to two hours, they start processing me. So, uh, again, a third or fourth processing time. So they call us all out by name and they pull us up and they bring us to uh the mug shot center. They take my mug shot, they do all my fingerprints and then Yeah. So that's done, right? So they put us all back in the cell after the processing. Then they move us over to uh another section.
So this other section uh there it's like like little cubbies, right? So you go in the cubby, co is like, "All right, strip [ __ ] whatever." So now you're naked. They're like, "All right, uh face us. All right. Separate your dick and balls. Separate your dick and balls. Show them. Turn around. Squat. Cough three times." I turn around. Squat. Cough three times. Um, whatever. Okay, cool. Toss this on. Uh, if you want to shower, you could shower. I was like, there's no soap. I was like, this this that's pointless to shower. So, I tossed the jumpsuit on, t-shirt, white underwear, orange jumpsuit, uh, socks, and then the the jail sandals. So, or slippers or sandals or whatever. So the sandals are made like out of rubber or whatever. So they give us a mattress like this little roll up mattress and then a a sheet and a blanket. So we all hop in they all bring us all four of us at this point. Me and all these four dudes or these three other dudes are cool. We're just cool and we're talking and [ __ ]. And uh again this is in Essex County. This is not like a [ __ ] nice area. So this is all like real [ __ ] dudes. We pull up in the bullpen, put the mattress down, and these other guys, I guess they're like they're kind of telling me like what's going to go down cuz again, I'm new there, and you know, I'm not going to [ __ ] sit there and say like I wasn't confused. I was like, "Oh, like what do I do?" Like, and they were helping me out. So, shout out to them. Uh, so we pull, we all kind of huddle together, actually. So, we put all four of our mattresses down, put my sheet down in the in the bullpen, which is a big holding cell. This one's very big. It's like two of the first holding cells. So, this one's about again, this one's about 20ft across and about 25ft across. Like, it's 20 by 25ish, maybe. I'm just guesstimating. Uh, but we all we pick a section and the four of us are like chilling in the section. We're just talking, passing time. And in there, we're in there with about maybe five other inmates that I have not met yet. So, we're in there for quite some time. And at this point, it's probably about like 11:00 p.m. to like 12:30 p.m.ish. Again, this is all guesstimates. There's no clocks. There's no everything's gray. There's no windows in there. Obviously, it's in it's in jail. [ __ ] So, yeah, I got there. We're in there. We all huddle up. We're just chilling in there. And uh yeah. So, then we uh we just go to sleep.
So, we go to sleep. And then in the morning time, I'm woken up by the the gate slamming open. And they're like, "Uh, all right." They're like, "Tyler, blank, blank, blank." Right. Uh, so we all hop out and uh they give us food. So, for the first meal in jail, I had uh it was corn flakes. It was [ __ ] corn flakes, milk, that was it, and a spoon, right? So, I had cornflakes, milk, and a spoon. So, I ate that [ __ ]. And uh again, me and these other inmates were just talking. We're just chilling. Then they're like, "All right, turn in your mattresses." So, I'm like, "We give the mattresses in." And then they kept me in there for a little bit longer, a couple more hours. So, at this point, it's the next morning. It could be 5:00 a.m. I don't know what time it was. You don't know what time it is, but it's the next morning cuz we all slept for quite some time. I slept on my back. Obviously, you sleep on your back or with your ass towards the [ __ ] towards a wall. So that's how I slept. Yeah.
So, we uh we're in there and uh they're like, "All right, well, we're going to now uh move you guys over to uh you know, Genpop." So I'm like, "Oh, fuck." You know, you're going to be in there with a bunky, whatever. So we'll get there. So they move us over to see the nurse. So I go see the nurse. She asks me like, "Oh, like, do you have any diseases?" Blah blah blah blah blah. Are you gay? Are you [ __ ] this? Are you that? And I'm like, "No, no, no." And then they give you a shot. It's called a TB shot. A TB shot is tuberculosis check. So they inject you and then if you have tuberculosis, I guess like something happens with your skin. Obviously, I don't have tuberculosis, so I didn't have it. So, but that takes a day or two to come back. So, we'll get there again. So, they bring me from there. I get the shot. I go back. I go back into that big cell with everybody else. And then they start moving everybody. Some of the guys have court. Some of them are going into uh genpop. So, I got moved to Genpop. So, so this Genpop, this general area is where you go while they're making sure that you don't have TB. Um, so you stay in there for what I heard a couple days. I don't know how accurate that information is. Um, but they keep you in there to make sure that you don't have that tuberculosis thing so that they could then move you into your tier. But in Genpop, you're literally there with everybody. You're [ __ ] gangbangers, murderers, [ __ ] everybody's in this one area. So, it's 50 cells per floor, maybe. So, it's two floors, so it's cells and cells. And so, they're like I get there and they're like, "All right, we're going to move you into your new cell." So, they moved me in. And at this point, again, I I I knew like why I was in there, you know, which was because of the grand larceny, and I was a fugitive of the state. So, they moved me into my cell. And I meet my bunky. I mean, this is [ __ ] crazy, bro. Uh, so I meet my bunky and he's like, "Oh shit." Like, what you in here for? I'm like, "I'm in for grand larceny." Apparent allegedly I'm in for grand larceny. Allegedly I'm in for a fugitive of the state cuz I was trying to leave the country. I was going on [ __ ] vacation out of the country. It's [ __ ] up that they don't tell you like that you have a warrant out for your arrest. Appar apparently allegedly I had a warrant out for my [ __ ] arrest.
But also sorry to again jump back, but before I got into uh the cell, I was able to make a call. So I called uh Mitch, who's my who's my business partner. He's like, "Yo, don't worry about it. We got the lawyer on it. We're going to we're going to figure this [ __ ] out." He tells me they uh one of those guys on Facebook scam some some guy on Facebook using the Vukum name um scammed somebody in Florida and then that person that they scammed that [ __ ] [ __ ] the [ __ ] idiot that they scammed thought it was me and then filed a a suit or file or like reported it or whatever he did to uh the police department that he lived in. And uh the the detective clearly didn't do much research. Um, and then the judge again clearly didn't do much research and they just put a warrant out for my arrest. Uh, this was November 25th that they had this warrant out. And I've traveled. I've gone on planes n uh domestically. Nobody stopped me. Never. But I guess it's because I was trying to leave the country. So it's a different system. Whatever. Uh, but yeah. So, I'm on the phone with Mitch and Mitch is like, "Yeah, so that these [ __ ] guys, they think that you [ __ ] stole the story was that I stole allegedly stole $6,000 from somebody because some [ __ ] idiot, some [ __ ] [ __ ] was dumb enough to see a watch probably 50% off of what it should have been and believed it and sent the money and then never got a product again." Which I tell everybody, don't do [ __ ] business on [ __ ] Facebook. It was on Facebook Marketplace that the [ __ ] person got scammed. So again, the reason that I went to jail for three days is because some [ __ ] idiot with no [ __ ] brain cells went and filed a police report because he got scammed on Facebook Marketplace by Vukum the jeweler or we don't know who, but by a a Facebook account using my name impersonating me and uh yeah, that's the reason that I went into jail. So whatever. That was the first like day of the booking process, whatever.
So, again, sorry to jump back and forth, but I get into my my cell, my bunky, we start chopping it up and uh the door's closed or whatever and we're just talking and we're hanging out and he's he's mad cool like cuz obviously I've never been there, but I didn't want to look like I was nervous or scared or nothing. So, I was just talking to him and he was talking to me. He's like, you know, like I'm I'm glad that you're my bunky cuz we could have got He's like, I could have got one of these dudes that [ __ ] tripping on K2 or like was [ __ ] on drugs outside and now they're [ __ ] going skitso [ __ ] manic or whatever. And there were those guys in there, too. I'll tell you guys about that as well soon. But I walk in, there's a towel on the toilet. I'm like, "Why is there a towel in the toilet?" He's like, "Cuz the [ __ ] literal [ __ ] and piss from other [ __ ] cells can flood up into our cell and whatever." So, you keep you keep the [ __ ] thing on the toilet, right? At this point, I'm mad dehydrated, too. Like, they don't give you water, nothing. They give you juice or milk or whatever. They don't give you water. I mean, they do, but I didn't know how to like get it. Right. My bunky, he had a bag filled with water in the sink. And I was like, "What? What's with the bag in the sink?" And he's like, "Yeah, like we get uh yard time or it's uh wreck time cuz there's no yard. Uh, it's wreck time. So, you get 1 hour a day to get out the cell. So, you're in the cell for 23 hours a day." I'm like, he offers me some water. I'm like, "Yeah, please. Thank you. I'm dying to thirst." I'm so dehydrated to the point where I'm physically just like out of it. He gives me some water. I thank him. Whatever. We're cool. And at this point, it must have been like 3 or 2:00 p.m. maybe cuz I only got out one time. So, in jail in Essex County Correctional, they let you out three times a day for 15 minutes plus a 1 hour wreck time. So, it's breakfast 15 minutes, lunch 15 minutes, and dinner 15 minutes. Plus, you get an hour either in the morning or at night time uh just to walk around and show whatever. So, at this point, I got in so late I missed everything except dinner time. [ __ ] I'm like, "What do we do when you know when the cell door pops and we got to eat?" He's like, "Oh, like like don't worry about like I'll show you whatever." Thank god. Thank god I got a cool bunky who is like very helpful the whole time with everything. And uh he kind of showed me the ropes of everything. We go we line up for uh dinner and there's like a little slit in a cell door and they hand you the the food and you grab it and then you go sit at a table. So again, this is my first time. We go sit down. He doesn't sit. I don't sit. So at this point, I'm standing up eating my [ __ ] like this. Just scanning cuz I don't know what the [ __ ] this shit's about. I don't know who who's looking at me. I don't know nothing. So I'm just trying to stand up and just be on guard. I'm eating and I'm looking and cuz that's what he was doing. So I'm like if he's doing it, I'm doing it. And then uh dude from dude I got brought there with the Spanish guy that didn't speak English comes and sits with us. So I'm like oh [ __ ] What up man? He's like what's up? So it's the three of us. He's sitting. I'm standing. So I'm standing up. Then the guard yells 3 minutes. 3 minutes. So that means like wrap it up and you only get 15 minutes to grab your food and eat it. So and then from there that was my technically my second night in Essex County. So my second night in Essex County. Um, I go to sleep again. There's nothing else to do besides talk to your monkey and just chill. So me and him were just talking like telling each other's [ __ ] stories and [ __ ]. And uh yeah, I don't mention nothing like what I do outside of there. And he didn't ask. Um [ __ ] dude, that [ __ ] was [ __ ] up. Whatever. So, and then a co comes to my door. He's like, "Tyler?" I'm like, "Yeah." He goes, "You got a visitor?" I'm like, "Visitor word?" So, I hop out. It's my new lawyer, right? Shout out to Arthur. Post a picture right here somewhere. Shout out to Arthur. So, I pop out. They bring me over to the visitor center. The lawyer's in there. He's like, "Listen, here's what happened." And then he tells the story. He's like, "Some dude in Florida got scammed from an impersonating account using your name. He made a police report. The detective didn't do any investigating. He filed for a warrant or he filed for whatever. And then the judge didn't do any investigating either and he approved the warrant. So, you are now sitting in here. This can take a couple days to clear up or it could take up to three months because Florida has to extradite you to the state of Florida, which they have legally up to uh 90 days to do. So, you can be in here up to 90 days."
At this point, I heard that I went, "What?" He's like, "Yes, 90 days. You can be in here up to 90 days. So, just hang tight. We're going to get you out of here as fast as possible. We're going to try to get in contact with the the detective in Florida and explain the situation and show some proof or whatever." So, at this point, I'm I'm like just I'm like, "All right, this is the situation. Adapt or die. Like, whatever. This is what we got to do." At this point, I'm literally mentally preparing to stay in here for up to 90 days, which is so [ __ ] up. In the moment, my mindset was like, "Let's get let's let's [ __ ] get it. Like, we're going to have to come up with a routine cuz this shit's boring as [ __ ]. You will go mentally insane." So, I'm like, "Listen, we're going to make the best of this [ __ ]. I'm going to do what I got to do." So, he tells me all this information and I'm like, "Motherfucker, let's get it."
So, our visit's over. It was a quick 15 to 25 minute visit. Again, time is moving differently in there. I don't know exact times. There's no clocks again. There's nothing. Uh, I go back to my cell. They lock the door and then I'm in there for the night. Yeah. So then we go to sleep. I'm on top bunk. He's on bottom bunk. That's how it goes. The person who was in there first gets the bottom bunk. Then when that guy leaves, you get to the bottom bunk. That's just how it works in there. And then I remember one dude as I was walking back to my to my cell, one dude was staring at me. He's like this and like you know you I'm not going to look away cuz you're in a [ __ ] different environment. So I'm [ __ ] staring at him like this. He's like smiling at me. But he looked like not menacing. He looked more so like he recognized me which I'm going to get into after. Yeah. So I'm like staring at him. Whatever.
Sorry again. I'm sorry I'm jumping back and forth. But we get back to the cell or I get back to the cell. They close the door. This is day day number two. Night time. Day number two. They close the cell door. It's night time. It's probably about 10:00 10:30 at night time. And then they shut the lights off, but they dim them. They don't shut them. And I go to sleep. And at this point, I'm like, "Fuck, I could really be in here." And like, I'm not super religious or nothing. Like, I'm really not. But I was praying to God. I'm I'm in my head. I'm I'm saying silent prayers. I'm like, "God, please." Like, "Get me the [ __ ] out of here. I do not belong in here." Whatever. Like, these there's guys in here that are [ __ ] scary as [ __ ]. Like, you're you could see all of them in their cells. And when And there's two different wreck times or I think there's four different wreck times. So you could see everybody walking around and they're [ __ ] scary [ __ ] bro. Like this is no joke. This they were scary looking [ __ ]. I'm not going I'm not acting like a tough guy. They were scary looking [ __ ]. Keep your head straight. Lawyer told me, "Keep your head straight. You'll be all right." So I go to sleep.
I wake up the next morning to the cell door just pops open. I wake up. All right. It's breakfast time. My word [ __ ]. It's cornflakes, milk, and pancakes. That's my breakfast on day number three. I go back to the same exact table I was sitting at. I stand and I eat my corn flakes and I'm I'm I grab the pancake. It's not that good. Obviously, it's not that good. It's [ __ ] jail. Um, so yeah, I throw my I I clean the tray off. I bang it on the garbage. I put the tray back. Trying to do everything right, not [ __ ] up anything. And again, shout out to my bunky because if it wasn't for him, if I had a if I had a [ __ ] up bunky or some [ __ ] like this could have went way [ __ ] different. So then I I get back into my top bunk and I just I try to just take a nap and and I'm pray again. I'm praying. And I'm like, "God, please get me the [ __ ] out of this situation. This is not where I want to be. This is not where I need to be. This is not where I want to be. I shouldn't be here. Get me the [ __ ] out. Please, God, get me out of here."
W time comes. So, a couple hours later, at this point, it's 3:00 and I'll tell you why I know this. Wreck time comes. I'm like, "Yo, like, how do I get to a phone? There's phones everywhere." He's like, "Yeah, listen. You're going to uh you get two free calls or whatever." I'm like, "Okay." So, I I hop to the phone. He's like, "You got to run to the phone because all the other inmates try to get to the phones and then they hog them up." Luckily, the phones are right outside my cell. So, I pop out, I walk to the phone, we get to the same phone, he teaches me how to make a call in jail on the jail phone. So, I make the call, ring, ring, whatever. I'll call my girlfriend to ask her what's going on and and like just chop it up. Hey, you have a collect call from uh an inmate at Correctional County, an inmate. And then you have to say your name into the phone first. So, I'm like Tyler. So, it's you have a collect call from Tyler. Uh, press one. And immediately she presses one and she's like, "Oh my god, are you okay?" I'm like, "Yeah, I'm chilling." And like there's mad other inmates around me, so I'm not act I'm not talking sweet to my girlfriend. I'm not doing none of that [ __ ]. Yeah, what's going on? She's like, "Okay, we're coming to get you at 6:30." Like I'm like I'm like, "Shut the [ __ ] up. There's no way." She's like, "We're coming to get you. We're coming to get you." I'm like, "All right, cool." And I don't want to say this out loud, obviously, cuz if another inmate hears that you're getting out, they might get mad. I don't know. I go, "What time is it?" She goes, "Three:00." I go, "Cool. This guy's survived [ __ ] three and a half hours." That in my head I said that. I didn't say that out loud. I'm like, "Cool. I'll see you all." I'm like I'm like, "Cool. All right. Thank you. Bye. Love you." Bang. Hang up.
So now at this point, I still have about 40 to 45 minutes left of wreck. The dude that was staring at me the day before. He's like, "Yo, are you the guy on TikTok?" I'm like, "Yeah, what up, man?" Dap him up. We go to the yard. Me and that dude go to the yard because there's an encaged yard with a with two pull-up bars and a basketball hoop and a basketball. So me and him go to the yard. I start banging out pull-ups, dude. Uh, me and him start banging out pull-ups. We start banging out push-ups. We're just chopping it up and he's like telling me what happened with him and whatever. We're not going to get into it. Um, so I'm talking with him. Then his boy comes in and uh another bull comes in and we're all just chilling, the four of us, and they're like, "Yo, you want to you want to get a game going of basketball?" I'm like, "Yeah, sure." So, we start playing [ __ ] basketball and [ __ ]. At this time, the guy's like, "20 minutes 20 more minutes of wreck time." Me and the other dude start banging out push-ups again. I'm doing push-ups with [ __ ] inmates and we're just chopping it up about like whatever. And uh they're like obviously they're all asking like why you in here? Why you in here? I don't say [ __ ]. I said alleged grand larceny. And they're like oh [ __ ] Like all right you be out probably. I'm like yeah I hope so.
Then uh from there wreck time's over. I d up the boys. I'm go back to my cell. I'm like yo my girl I was on the phone my girl. She says I'm getting out of here. He's like word. He's like I'm like yeah. He's like all right. Well, just keep in mind like sometimes they [ __ ] [ __ ] up and like you might have to get out the next day. I'm like great. Then another inmate comes by the cell door. He knocks. He's like, "Tyler?" I'm like, "Yeah." He goes, "Uh, you're getting out of here." I'm like, "Word?" So, he's like, "You need help with your mattress or whatever." I'm like, "Yeah, thank you, bro." So, he grabs a mattress. Dude's got straight face tats. I'm like, "Okay." He helps me out with the mattress and I collect my papers. I thank him. I walk over to the cos at the front desk. I'm like, "Yeah." They said, "I'm getting out of here." They're like, "You tired?" I'm like, "Yeah, put He's like, "Put your mattress over there." I put my mattress down. I have my paper still. He goes, "Goes in that room." He says, "Go in that room." I says, "Okay." I go in the room. Steel bench. Two other inmates, they call out. One dude comes down. Other dude comes out. One of them has no one leg hopping around with the crunches. He sits down next to me. Another dude comes out. So, I'm sitting there with three of the inmates. And uh one of them's like, he looks at me, he's like, "What you in here for?" And I look at him, I go, "Some bullshit." He goes, "Damn." Uh he goes, "Well, we getting out." I was like, "Yeah."
So, whatever. We go through hallways, process out fingerprints, all that [ __ ]. Yeah. So, then we go through multiple hallways. This whole process to get out of the gel is takes about 45 minutes to an hour. They give us our clothes back and our belongings, like my phone and my chain, my little chain, start putting your original clothes back on. One of the inmates was like, he's like, "Yo, I [ __ ] with those shoes, cuz." I was like, "Yo, thanks." He's like, "Yo, where you get those at?" I was like, "Yeah, they're Birkenstocks." He goes, "Oh, [ __ ] Birkin makes slippers." I was like, "Nah." I was like, "It's a brand called Birkenstock." He's like, "Oh, those shits are hard." All the other inmates are like, "Yo, those shits are crazy." One of them was like, "Yo, they make them shits in pink." I'm like, "I don't think so." They all start laughing. And then, yeah. So, then from there, we get out and then uh they give you a a [ __ ] bus ticket. They give you papers that says like, "I was incarcerated from blank to blank date." And I was in from no uh March one through March three. So one, two, three days. I was incarcerated for and then Yeah. So that you you you walk out the jail and then you're on your own. So I I open up my phone, I call an Uber to my girl's house, then I go to my girl's house and uh that was that.
So I found out that uh my lawyer was able to get in contact with Florida and like explain them the situation and then they we got out and that's that and they dropped the charges obviously because it was an impersonation ship. Then I come back to my crib, whatever. But bro, that [ __ ] was not [ __ ] fun. Uh, there was obviously little stories in there that I'm leaving out. I met other people, too. I'm leaving all that [ __ ] out. But uh the moral of the story is like that's really crazy. Like they they could take your freedom for any [ __ ] reason. I don't wrong [ __ ] arrest. I mean, there was no
Research done from the detective out in Florida and then the judge that passed the warrant up. There was no research done as to anything and they just arrest. They put a warrant out for my arrest, which is mind-boggling.
So yo, shout out to my girlfriend. Shout out to Mitch, my business partner, and shout out to Arthur the lawyer. I mean, every my my mom and dad were like, "What the fuck?" My mom and dad went on a separate vacation, so they were already leaving when they found this out. So they were worried sick for 3 days.
But yeah, so I got out and now obviously there's no charges on me right now because they dropped the charges because I didn't do anything. Uh, and they were able to clear it all up. But luckily they were they realized that they had the wrong guy and they didn't have to extradite me to Florida cuz if they did I would have been in there still and I would could have been up in there up to three months because they have legally they have 90 days to come and get you. So that's the story of how I got arrested and spent three days and two nights in Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey.
Bro, like some of the cos were like, "Yo, I'm coming to you for a watch." After like they they all were looking at me mad funny when I was going in cuz I they a lot of them recognized me, but I don't think they can say that. But on my way out, they were like, "Yo, I'm coming to you for a watch." One of them was like, "What the did you do to get in here?" And uh there was mad cos that recognized me.
Uh, other inmates, one of the other inmates, little side story, one of the other inmates was staring at me. This dude was like bro, like 6'8", big, like three something, right? 300 something pounds. And he he's staring at me and he's like, "Yo, let me holler at that boy real quick." This is in when I'm leaving and he's like, "Yo, you that jeweler dude?" I'm like, "Yeah." He's like, "Yo, mad respect." I dab him up. Uh, he was like the biggest dude in the whole unit. He's and he wasn't a co, he was an inmate and he told me how he knew of me. Uh we had mutual friends actually. Uh but yeah, dude, that was not a experience I ever want to live through again.
The place in Florida was called the town that the idiot that filed the complaint against me because he got scammed because he's a less than intelligent person that made the complaint against my personal name was the first of this story. The second person that made a mistake was the detective. He took the case in uh and did no research and just took my name and just said, "Yep, he's guilty." And then the third person was the judge in Florida that again did no re just issued a warrant for my arrest.
So now there's a warrant for my arrest and when you leave to get on a plane to go international, you're booked and there's no way to see if you have warrants. So three people made mistakes. The first guy got scammed. So maybe he was in the heat of the moment, but he could have did a quick little research that it's posted freaking everywhere. It's in all my bios. Don't buy off Facebook from someone with the Vukum name. It's not me. I mean, it's so obvious to people who actually watch me, but I guess like greed takes over their mindset and they're like, "Oh my god, there's a $10,000 watch here for $6,000. I have to get it."
So, like moral of the story here is, you know, if you're watching this, um, don't buy from me online unless it's my eBay live or you're in person in front of my face and we're looking at each other and you're buying from me. My only official Instagram is Vukum. And even that, I'm not going to I'm not selling on there. So, just in person, come see me or my or the people that work for me or eBay Live. That's where I sell watches.
But yeah, so thanks for watching. Like, comment, and subscribe. This is not gonna discourage me from making videos. Only I'm just gonna go harder now. I want to be way more famous than I am. Famous. I want to be way more famous than I am. I want every single person to know my face. This only fired me up. I had nothing but time to think about how I'm going to game plan and attack this in 2026. This is not a setback. This was just a really weird three days. And I promise you, I am going to be the biggest YouTuber, the biggest watch YouTuber, the biggest business YouTuber out there in 2026.
