Daniel Larson: Difference between revisions

[[File:WeenMusicPic.png|thumb|267x267px|A photo of Zola after being rescued. ]]

On July 9, 2023, Daniel Larson adopted a German Shepherd mix named Zola from the [https://www.longmonthumane.org/ Longmont Humane Society] in [[wikipedia:Longmont,_Colorado|Longmont, Colorado]], to which he then renamed Music. He intended her to act as a "guard dog." Given Daniel is obviously unfit to take care of himself, let alone an animal, multiple people immediately showed concern. This concern soon turned to rage as footage of Daniel neglecting Zola via not giving her enough water surfaced, and comments of Daniel contemplating giving her nachos.  

It was revealed that the shelter Daniel adopted her from had not conducted a background check on Daniel, leading to them being horrified as his online history came to light. Despite calls to return Music to the shelter and worries about her well-being, Daniel continued posting videos with her. Efforts intensified, leading the Longmont Humane Society to take steps to remove Music from Daniel's care, as well as [[List of places that have banned Daniel|permanently banning him from their premises]]. Concerns for the dog's safety grew due to Daniel's documented [[Incidents|erratic and violent behavior]], [[Daniel and the Law|evading authorities]], and distressing videos of Music wherein she was whimpering. As such, many worried that the dog would be a target if Daniel had another meltdown. A collective community effort successfully located Daniel and Music, which culminated in WeenWeenMusic, a member of [[Ceel Team 6]], a rescue party led by former YouTuber [[Goated Mines]], rescuing Music and returning her to Longmont on July 11.

The situation escalated dramatically after Music was taken from Daniel. Daniel reacted intensely via going into a Walmart, where he [[The 7/11 Incident|voiced his anger by destroying multiple stands of merchandise]]. After being released from police custody, Daniel's response included making videos and live streams where he claimed to have contacted emergency services, alluding to creating bombs. Actions such as these would ultimately lead to his admission into a [[Psychiatric Hospital|mental health facility]] for the next week. After a period of psychiatric evaluation and treatment, Daniel was released from the mental health ward on July 19.

On October 23, 2023, some "fans" would give Daniel a haircut. However, these were actually trolls who partially cut Daniel's hair in what was immediately dubbed a "Reverse Mohawk" and abandoned him before finishing the haircut as they claimed their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence that he had a court date the following week. Unsurprisingly, Daniel did not fix his hair, and on October 31, Daniel would attend court, only to be met with six-month, as well as a mandatory mental health evaluation.  

18 days later, still donning the reverse mohawk, Daniel would have a meltdown inside of a [[Panera Bread Incident|Panera Bread]] on November 10, due to "fans leaking his location." This led to him aggressively punch himself, exclaim threats of self-harm, racial slurs, and psychotic screams, right before going to into fits of hysterical crying. Daniel also attempted to assault a Panera Bread employee, which led to law enforcement eventually being called. This incident resulted in Daniel getting [[List of places that have banned Daniel|banned]] from all Panera Bread locations.   

Going into 2024, Daniel would continue his escapades, completely unaware that this would be the year that he would be [[Jail (Disambiguation)|arrested over 5 times]], which would eventually result in him [[Second Jail Arc|being at risk of going to jail for over 65 years]]. After getting [[January 5th Incident|chased around by trolls]], he would be [[Denver International Airport Arrest|arrested at an airport]] on January 9th for his multiple active warrants before being released on a PR bond. The terms of his PR bond required him to progressively pay off his bond and show up to all of his court hearings. He would do neither, instead favoring buying expensive meals he could not pay for, attending fake college classes, and narrowly evading justice on a multitude of occasions.

He had the police called on him multiple times, such as when Daniel, once again, was [[Fart Spray Incident|chased around]] by [[trolls]], as well as when he got [[January 26 Hospital Incident|kicked out of a hospital]] (which he threatened to start a mass shooting at post-ejection), although he would not be arrested. He would also be convinced by his manager, [[Clark]], to enroll in UCLA, where him and his associates constructed fake college Zoom Meetings, which Daniel fell for easily.  

Daniel was arrested once more on February 3, 2024, for being a fugitive of justice due to the consequences of not fulfilling his PR bond. His bond was set at $20,000, which was later lowered to $5,000 with a $500 cash option. He was released on March 1, 2024, to which he stayed in numerous hotels. Even so, Daniel was [[March 19th Arrest|arrested less than 3 weeks later]] for the '''same charge''', this time in Jefferson County. His bond was set at $1,000. Following a court hearing, he was released on March 22, 2024, only staying in jail for a meager day and a half. Ten days later, he was, '''again''', [[April 2nd Arrest|arrested for the ''same charge'']] in Lone Tree while on the bus back to Denver. He spent the night in jail, and was released the next day.

On April 30, 2024, Daniel was arrested due to the many threats he had made towards businesses, family members, and most notably, [[Daniel MacDougall|government entities and agencies]]. Daniel would be charged with 7 counts of threats, each of these being federal charges. Given the severity of the charges, he may be put in prison for a long time, possibly several decades. During this time, Daniel's manager, [[Clark]], would admit to lying about who he was, and everything he had done up to this point. Even more, Bob was found to have been in contact with Daniel once more.
