August 31st Incident

| — Daniel, after his altercation with Bob | ||
On August 31, 2023, Daniel and Bob Proctor were involved in a physical altercation while in Bob's car following a verbal argument. The incident began after Bob asked Daniel not to use his phone while in his presence. This later resulted in an interaction with the police, and Daniel claiming that Bob "ran him over" with his car.
The Incident
The video starts with Daniel arguing with Bob after Bob told him that he did not want Daniel to use his phone in his presence, likely due to the many overwhelming issues that come from it. Daniel then insists that it was his legal right to have his phone at dinner, just before ironically calling Bob crazy, adding that he is "never helpful anymore" and always "causes issues".
Bob then calmly asks Daniel to turn off his phone and place it in the car's console. Daniel refused, saying he would be happy to keep his phone on his person while turned off. Upset by Bob's request, Daniel claimed he was filming for his own protection, before commenting that the situation was "ridiculous" and that Bob is "so stubborn".
Daniel asked Bob if he would take him to dinner, attempting to guilt-trip him by suggesting he would starve otherwise. Bob, clearly having enough of Daniel, raises his voice and asks Daniel to get out of his car, while Daniel refuses. This escalates to a point where Bob starts yelling "Get the fuck out of my car!" This led to a physical altercation where Daniel assaulted Bob. Bob presumably grabs Daniel by his arm, while Daniel yells back at him to let go, with Bob threatening to break his arm. During the altercation, Daniel shrieked, "If you break my arm-" and yelled out expletives. At one point, Daniel's phone falls under the car seat, something he gets audibly nervous over.
The altercation escalated as Daniel and Bob begin hitting each other. Bob yells for Daniel to get out of his car while Daniel yells that he has a right to defend himself. Bob continues to reiterate this while Daniel frantically searches for his phone. Once he retrieves it, the video ends with Bob pushing Daniel out of his car, then speeding off. Daniel also starts to yell claiming that Bob had run over him, and some people believe that Bob might have run over Daniel's toes in his haste to leave. However, Daniel is an unreliable narrator, so this is not confirmed. Daniel swore violently and directed multiple slurs, including the n-word, at Bob before the camera abruptly ended.

[camera shows the coin pocket in the car door] Daniel: So I wasn't going to film, but since YOU have a problem with me bringing my phone in the car, okay? Now I'm going to film because that's my legal right. OK? So, you're causing this issue to yourself. You are literally causing this issue to yourself, and I guess I will go without fucking dinner now, because you have a problem with me even bringing my phone with me... which is my fucking legal right. You are crazy. You are never helpful anymore. All you do is cause issues. You told me not to be on the phone in the car, I wasn't. Bob: I said, turn off your phone and put it in the console, and you said yes. Daniel: I'm not gonna put in the console, but I will be more than happy to stay off my phone and turn it off. You had a problem with me, like literally having it on my seat. the phone was literally turned off, OK? I just turned it on to film this because you had a problem with that. I'm now filming for my protection. This is ridiculous. You are so stubborn, like I was saying before. So, are we going to get dinner? Or are you taking me back to the motel and I'm just gonna not have anything for dinner, and I'm not gonna eat today at all. And I guess I'll starve tonight. So what is it?

Where did the fuck did it go? Where the fuck did it go? [Daniel retrieves his phone, still heavily breathing. Once he gets out of the car, Bob starts taking off, possibly grazing Daniel a bit in the process.] Daniel: OUCH! FUCKIN'--! Bob: GET AWAY FROM MY CAR!! (drives off) Daniel: HOLY FUCKING HELL!!! YOU RAN OVER ME!! FUCKER!! FUCKER N****R!! YOU FUCKING RAN OVER ME, FUCKER!!!

Aftermath
Following the altercation, Daniel made a community post where he said that he's going to be calling 911. Shortly after, Daniel filmed another video where he had a meltdown at the motel he was staying at. In the video, Daniel can be seen punching and kicking the walls, as well as slamming his head into them, while sobbing and breathing heavily. Throughout the meltdown, he repeatedly claimed that "Bob just ran me over with his fucking car," calling Bob a bitch and the n-word, and continued hitting objects around him.

[Daniel is in the motel, visibly distressed, heavily breathing and whining, pacing around the motel room] Daniel: *crying, moaning while doing the Angry Tongue* Bob... Bob just ran me over with his fucking car. Bob just fucking ran me over with his fucking car! (hits a wall) Bob just ran me over with his car! (kicks another wall) Bob just ran me over! Bob just ran me over! Bob just ran me over with his car! My fucking foot hurts (grunts, makes weird vocalizations as he kicks the bathroom walls twice, bashes his head into the wall, then sobbing) Bob just ran me over with his car! Bob just ran me over with car! Fucking bitch! (whines as he bashes his head into the doorframe, still sobbing) Bob just ran me over, fucker! (Angry Tongue, punches the wall once more) Fucking bitch n****r! Fucking bitch! Bob is a bitch! Bob is a bitch! Bob is a bitch! (sobs) He hurt me! He fucking hurt me! (cries) |
Following this, Daniel would make more posts to his community tab where he claimed Bob had run him over with his car and that he was terrified of him, how he wanted justice, and that he was currently filing a restraining order against him. Tn subsequent posts, Daniel claimed that he was returning to the same mental hospital that had previously prescribed him medication, presumably the facility he was sent to following the Dog Arc. He insists that he only hit Bob back in self-defense, and how he only wished for peace and "everything to be ok". Daniel also claims that his "rights were violated by Bob", although he did not explain how. A few minutes after, Daniel said that police are on the way, and additionally stating that "a person who would care would never run me over with their car". The community posts stopped as the police eventually arrived at the motel.[1]

That evening, Daniel streamed a conversation with the police as he recounted his version of the altercation with Bob. While speaking to the officers, Daniel continues to assert that it was his right not to put his phone in the glove compartment and that he was only putting his hands on Bob out of self-defense. While some of Daniel’s statements were false, the majority of his account about the encounter was truthful. It is unknown if any charges were ever filed against Bob. Although Daniel filed a police report, there is no evidence to suggest that any charges were pursued.

[Daniel goes live as officers approach him] Officer: unintelligible Daniel: Yes, he told me to put my phone in the glove compartment which I refused to do because it's my legal right, I don't have to. Officer: unintelligible Daniel: Right. So… so he told me to get out of his car and I said, because he's a family member, very close to me, um, he's like a dad figure. I said, "I don't wanna do that, I want to try to sort this out". By the time I could say that, he basically came over, grabbed my arm through the back and said he would break my arm and then at that point I started punching him in self-defense. Officer: unintelligible Daniel: Yes, and then at that point I do say, "OK, I'll just get out of the car". I get out of the car and then I'm still getting my phone because it fell in the passenger seat. I was still trying to get my phone out, and he starts driving off. Yes, and then I'm like halfway in and out. [road noise, Daniel picks up his phone] Daniel: The police are now here. Perfect. Police good service. *checks phone periodically, pans to police car* Just for anybody that's wondering, Bob just ran me over with his car after telling me to turn off my phone in his car, which I did do and then he didn't believe me. He called me a liar, so I got out my phone and started recording for my safety because that's my legal right and he freaked out, and then he told me to get out of his car, which I did, and… well, I was half out of the passenger seat. He started driving off at a reckless speed, and then I went into the motel and freaked out because of it. Officer: Hi Daniel, Greeley *unintelligible* here. Daniel: OK. *walks over* So, I was out with my friend over here, he's like a dad figure to me. And, um, we were going to get dinner. I'm an Internet, uh, sensation, singer/songwriter. So, he told me to turn off my phone which I did do. He didn't believe me, so he wanted to take me back to the motel without any dinner, which I haven't had breakfast, lunch or dinner today. So he takes me back to the motel and he tells me to get out of the car. Because I know him so well, I've never had an issue with him of this scale at all, to where I'm like, I- I tried talking to him peacefully and he doesn't. He basically didn't believe me at all, so he grabbed my arm, pulled it back, said that I was- basically he said that he was gonna break my arm, OK? And at that point- Officer: And then he basically said… Daniel: So he grabbed my arm, and he pulled it back like, back that way to where if it went any further, it would break, and he says "I will break your arm, um, if you do anything", and I'm like, in my mind, I'm going like, "I'm not going to do anything," but he's pulling my arm back to… like I'm doing absolutely nothing. Like, he was telling me to get out of his car, I would rather get out of his car. So I tell him, OK, let me get out of your car. And he still holds my arm, and he tells me to get out of the car. I'm in a situation where I physically can't do anything, right? So he grabs my phone, it falls in between the seat, and then he lets go of my arm. I try to get out and then he punches me. At that point, I punch him back, and it turns it into an all-out fist fight, OK? At that point, then I keep telling him OK, I'm getting out of the car, just relax. You know, I'm trying to get out of the car the entire flipping time. By the time I get out of the car, I turn around to get my phone, which was in between the seat. By the time I get the phone, and my body's half in, half out, he starts basically gas- flooring the gas pedal and my feet come off the ground as he starts driving. Um, the only thing that, like, actually saved me from falling onto the concrete was, I was holding onto the door, and I pulled myself to a standing position as he was driving. Um, that's long story short what happened. At that point, he just continued driving off, and I freaked out and went into the motel room saying he ran me over, he ran me over, he ran me over, um, because his back tire ran over my left foot. I just got it checked by paramedics, um, but they said that it was just like, possibly the side of the tire, not the full thing. But I felt the tire go over and I ran into the motel freaking out, and um, kicked a few holes in the wall, um, freaking out because of the entire thing because he's a family member. I care about him so much, um, he's not like a relative to me, but I've known him as a dad figure, so I consider him family and he considers me family. Officer: OK. When he first punched you, where did he punch you? Daniel: Um, like, kind of just like, right here, kind of my arm. And then at that point, once he grabbed my arm, pulled it back and he said he was gonna break my arm. At that point, I was like, OK, I'm not playing around anymore. I need to protect myself because I take that type of threat seriously. Officer: What motel were you guys at? Daniel: Uh, the Motel 6. Officer: OK, right here on 49th? Daniel: Yes, yes. Officer: Do you have an ID by chance? Daniel: I don't, it's in the motel room still. I don't know if I want to- I really don't know what I want to do. I wanted to de-escalate the situation, um, that's all I wanted to do. Officer: What did you do over here? Daniel: I came over here because I didn't want the motel to be breached because of my popularity. Um, if I was going to stay there or what, like, I just- I didn't want fans since I do get noticed in public, and he also knows that too. Um, I get spotted in public, I don't want the motel room getting breached, so I came over to this corner since this was a corner I knew more well, um, it was easier for me to also say to 9-1-1 my location as well. Officer: OK, what's your last name? Daniel: Um, Larson. L-A-R-S-O-N. Officer: And it's Daniel? Daniel: Yeah. Officer: Daniel, what's your birthdate? Daniel: 11/15/1998. Officer: 98? Daniel: Yes. Officer: What's a good phone number for you? Daniel: Um, [gives his phone number]. I just got a new number, so I'm still learning it. Officer: What number are you staying at over there? Daniel: Um, 235. Officer: How long have you been staying there? Daniel: Uh, two days. Officer: How long are you gonna stay there? Daniel: Uh, one more night. Officer: Are you originally from here? Daniel: I'm from uh, Colorado, yeah. Officer: Is your ID in the state of Colorado? Daniel: It is, yes. Officer: So what do you want to happen? Daniel: I- my entire thing why I called was I wanted to file a report for my safety, and I wanted to de-escalate the situation. I wanted to de-escalate everything and I wanted to make sure that like, um, I wanted to make sure that like, this is recorded in like a report, um, because I'm dealing with criminal charges already for a different thing because family um, Bob, I call him Bob but his name is Robert. Um, he's never believed me um, with my career, my popularity and it escalated out of control and now he doesn't know what to do with it. He doesn't want his life affiliated with my popularity, and that's what led to him wanting me to turn off my phone today. My hope is that I can de-escalate this situation and make this- I guess put this, yeah, Officer: So you just want a report done, you don't want any charges filed or anything right now? Daniel: I want a report done, yeah. I don't want any charges or anything filed. If anything, I want like, two weeks, three weeks of like… no contact, for, you know. Officer: I mean, that's not something I can control, right? That's something that you'll have to figure out, OK? Daniel: Right. I would have to, right. Officer: Is Daniel Larson the name that's on your ID? Daniel: Yes. Officer: OK Daniel, just hang out for a minute for me, OK? Daniel: OK. I fear a restraining order because I've known him for so long, that's probably not gonna be helpful, that's only gonna be worse. Um, and, since I consider him family and this is the first time he's ever done something like that, I… I'm not gonna forgive him for today at all, I'm not, but I forgive I guess, I don't- I really just don't know, because I- Officer: Was your phone off during all of this? Daniel: It was not fully turned off, but it was, um, I didn't have it like, turned on to where I could physically use it. I would have to like, push the on button and then put in my password to access, so as far as that. Officer: OK, so was any of it recorded? Daniel: None of it was recorded until after um, the actual part where he ran me over, I did actually record that. Um.. Officer: Are you able to pull that up for me? Daniel: Yes, um… yes, um… [ends stream] |
