On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and taken into custody at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was taken shortly after.

It was initially believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a subsequent call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for several terroristic threats he had made over the past year at the time. These claims were later backed by documents that revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of uttering threats, with a potential maximum sentence of 65 years if convicted on all counts.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|just four weeks earlier]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel was ineligible for bond, and was subsequently never granted it.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world was through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. During this time, Daniel befriended [[Lil Sippy]] over the phone after he sent him a letter. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. After his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, communications were initially through sporadic letters,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> though ceased afterwards.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was scheduled to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (MCFP Springfield) in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma, where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to MCFP Springfield for further mental health evaluation. Daniel underwent several competency restoration and mental health evaluation processes since his incarceration at MCFP Springfield, and stayed there throughout 2025. The most recent one concluded in November 2025.

On January 13, 2026, Daniel was transferred out of MCFP Springfield and placed in the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Three days later, he was returned to FCI Englewood. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1qc0sm0/update/</ref> He had court hearings on January 22 and February 3, 2026 on his competency. Speedy trial calculations ended on February 9, 2026, and on March 3, 2026, Daniel was deemed '''competent''' to stand trial. It remains uncertain whether Daniel will continue to be institutionalized or be released. On March 20, 2026, Daniel reached a plea agreement with the government, and a change of plea hearing was held on April 9, 2026. Daniel pled guilty to the threat he made toward [[Daniel MacDougall]]. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/sentencing</ref> The remaining six charges were dropped. He is expected to serve 27-33 months in prison, with credit for the 23 months he had already served. Sentencing will occur on July 21, 2026.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he was at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or be institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc is the longest duration of Daniel being incarcerated, coming up on 2 years on April 30, 2026.

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, Secret Service agent [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right on the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite repeated warnings from a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel continued to make such threats, even making threats directed against MacDougall.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary for Daniel's arrest.

On April 25, 2024, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27, 2024,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on all of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on a bus returning to Boulder. The following morning, he posted on TikTok that he was on his way to the probation meeting, which would be his last social media post before his arrest.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of making threats appeared to escalate in the months leading up to his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly building a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment leading to Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center ([[DDRC|DDRC)]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that previously helped house Daniel. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. The case also included threats to Colorado University and an unspecified state government building. These threats were posted to his Community Tab.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], in his YouTube Community Tab, where he threatened to bomb the Denver County Courthouse. This was the threat that started the investigation.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], in a YouTube short, where he threatened to bomb the White House.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], in a TikTok post, where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], on a TikTok livestream, where he threatened to bomb the FBI headquarters.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day, where his mugshot was taken. Once Daniel was arrested, many speculated the charges to be related to probation violations, [[Dine and Dashing|dine and dashing]], or his admission to watching [[Pedophilia|exploitative material.]] [[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you shall not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had come to his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having had contact with the Secret Service agent who got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, regarding an alleged altercation Daniel was involved in while in custody. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by Bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call was made between Clark and Daniel.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel faced serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" and one count of "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add an additional five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based on all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate the fines that Daniel may face, as they range quite substantially.

On April 9, 2026, the six "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" charges were dropped, with the remaining charge being "Interstate Communication of Threats". <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Any court documents that are not shown on this page are NOT apart of Daniel's case, and should be disregarded. As of recent, there has been a surge in fake court documents circulating on Reddit and other social media platforms. Only trust documents from verified sources.}}{{SpecialMessage|Message=Some scans of court documents may be in low quality. Help us out by getting higher quality/clearer scans.}}[[File:JaredPublicDefender.png|left|thumb|Daniel's public defender, Jared Westbroek. |274x274px]]

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so; therefore, he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie and that everything he had done up to that point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel, after being convinced to do so despite an earlier decision to cut all contact. Daniel reached out in hopes of fixing their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he had many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, just before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed how Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, had introduced motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before, was denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel in a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to be released from jail, which has not yet happened.

As of June 29, 2024, this motion remains unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set for July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that "nothing was accomplished" following the conclusion of the hearing.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also addresses Daniel's request for release. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all that had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel was filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for a period of no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order. According to Daniel around this time, he was in the specialized housing unit (SHU).

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024; however, this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had discussed in their last call, amplified by delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniel's attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in prison for longer than he needed to be. The reason for this is that, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield, Missouri, that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's prison said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed, resulting in Daniel's release. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy prison communications ===
In additional correspondence from prison to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from prison. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed that this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniel's record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> Four days later, Daniel was found not to be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024, and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center and was being held on a 23-hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney who has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. Feiler is very infamous in his own right, as he is most known for being the lawyer of Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-assigned-new-attorney-as-westbroek-withdraws-from-case</ref> The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to restrict certain dockets from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case. He was reassigned to the case on March 3, 2026.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025. It was revealed that this was a 120-day extension request, which was granted.

=== Summer 2025 & Extended Competency Restoration ===
May to August 2025 was another competency restoration period for Daniel. Daniel and his legal counsel had documents from those months restricted from public access, though during the period Daniel sent letters from prison to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> On August 22, 2025, another 120-day evaluation extension request was made and granted.

=== September 18 Hearing & Independent Evaluation ===
On September 8, 2025, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez scheduled a court hearing for September 18, 2025, with Daniel to appear virtually, and his attorney to appear in person. The psychiatric report from August 22, 2025, stated that Daniel remained incompetent to stand trial after three assessments. The purpose of the upcoming hearing is to determine the next steps for Daniel. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nclpqs/daniels_first_hearing_in_16_months/</ref> This is Daniel's first court hearing since May 1, 2024.

The hearing took place on September 18, 2025, and the court placed the case on hold for an independent competency evaluation. Once that is completed, the court will determine whether to do another round of restoration or pursue civil commitment. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nknlpe/update_from_daniels_hearing_today/</ref> The evaluation ended in early November, and in December, his attorney objected to his continued incarceration.
=== Q1 2026 Transfer & Court Hearings ===
[[File:Kaitlyn Hanson pic.png|left|thumb|208x208px|Dr. Katlyn Hanson of Springfield, MO, the lead person in charge of evaluating and monitoring Daniel.]]
[[File:CourtDocumentTestify.png|thumb|349x349px|Fuckass Bob just testified against me!]]An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for January 9, 2026, but it was postponed at Daniel's request. The hearing was rescheduled for January 22, 2026. <ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/80/united-states-v-larson/</ref> Daniel was transferred out of MCFP Springfield on January 13, 2026 after being held there for a year, and was subsequently placed in the Federal Transfer Center for three days. He was then transferred back in FCI Englewood on January 16, 2026 in preparation for his upcoming in-person court hearing.

The hearing took place on January 22, 2026, with Daniel appearing in person. The proceedings were restricted due to the focus on mental health diagnoses.<ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2014495407401808285</ref> Due to time constraints and people waiting to testify, the competency hearing was not concluded. The main forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Katlyn Hanson, provided testimony. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1ql3ami/competency_continued_to_232026/</ref> A certificate of competency was issued, which led many to believe that Daniel was found competent to stand trial, however this may not be true.

Another hearing occurred on February 3, 2026, during which Dr. Mark Mills, another forensic psychiatrist, testified. Judge Regina M. Rodriguez was expected to issue a written ruling about Daniel's competency within the following week.<ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2018767031806697825</ref> A follower somehow entered the courtroom and claimed that Daniel's looks have changed, specifically that he gained weight, was very calm and composed, and his hair was slightly longer. They were removed from the courtroom prior to proceedings. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/february26</ref> The speedy trial calculations were submitted on February 9, 2026, with 57 days remaining at the time. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/feb10</ref>

Additional witnesses were to testify for the hearing, however after the February 3 hearing, the hearing was concluded and these witnesses did not provide testimony. The witnesses were [[Bob Proctor]]; Greg Suarez, CEO of Golden Fiduciary and trustee for [[Nancy Shimer]]'s trust; Mandi Doryland, a Highlands Ranch based counselor who likely previously worked with Daniel; [[Case Managers|Ian Thomson, CEO of Daniel's caretaker company and former case manager; Jodie Marquez, operations director for Roundup Fellowship and an additional case manager]]; Alicia Cho, a psychiatric expert; and [[Tiffany|Tiffany Montano]], Daniel's former therapist. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1qks518/bob_just_testified_against_me/</ref> <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/hearing</ref>

=== March 2026 Competency Ruling & New Attorney ===
On March 3, 2026, a month after the hearing, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez ruled that Daniel was '''mentally''' '''competent to stand trial''' following 20 months (1 year and 8 months) of institutionalization and competency restoration efforts. Daniel disputed that his competency had been restored.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/federal-judge-finds-daniel-larson-competent-to-proceed-sets-trial-date</ref> The case was finally set to proceed to trial, which was scheduled for April 20, 2026.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/federal-judge-finds-daniel-larson-competent-to-proceed-sets-trial-date</ref> He had a hearing on April 9, 2026.

Dr. Katlyn Hanson diagnosed Daniel with Level 1 [[Mental Health|autism spectrum disorder, an unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder]]. She reported that although Daniel demonstrated an understanding of the charges against him and the potential consequences, he tended to minimize the seriousness of the allegations and she was concerned about his ability to assist his attorney in his defense. When Daniel arrived to MCFP Springfield in December 2024, he remained grounded in his beliefs that he was dating [[Grace]], and would even constantly talk about him and Grace with staff at Springfield and his defense. Dr. Katlyn Hanson stated that this delusional beliefs were strengthened by the [[Lil Sippy|trolls]] who [[Jail Communications|interacted with him]] during his stay in jail, claiming that he received prison mail at Springfield containing screenshots of text messages between him and fake Graces. By February 2025, Daniel began taking antipsychotic medication, which reduced his delusions, and soon enough, he finally acknowledged that Grace had nothing to do with his case.

Dr. Mark Mills testified that Daniel could not be fully restored to competency because his cognitive deficits come from both his autism and borderline intellectual functioning, which are considered untreatable. While his delusions improved with the antipsychotic medication and structured treatment at Springfield, Dr. Mills emphasized that Daniel's autism was the controlling diagnosis, preventing him from fully understanding or interacting with his defense team, or recalling information about the threats he made at the time. Dr. Mills also further noted that although Daniel preferred to be found competent and go to trial, his preference likely reflected his cognitive limitations and tendency to agree rather than a fully informed understanding of the legal proceedings, and that he would be unlikely to recall or explain his mental state at the time he allegedly made the threats.

Daniel's mental health history was also documented extensively. The document indicated that he had been [[Self Harm|hitting himself]] and punching holes in walls since at least 2011, and that he had been hospitalized twice for these behaviors, once in 2017 and again in 2023. Daniel was also reported to have hit his head in FCI Englewood out of frustration. In 2011, Daniel's [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] shared that he had a "non-accidental head injury" at three weeks old and had a seizure at five months. Daniel has also claimed that his mother hit him in the head with a hammer when he was eight years old, though the accuracy of this claim is uncertain. His IQ was reported to be 72, which is slightly above the typical threshold for an intellectual disability.

Daniel no longer qualifies for a free attorney, and his previous attorney, Jared Westbroek, withdrew from the case. Daniel was subsequently reassigned to Jeffrey Feiler, who had represented him the previous year.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-assigned-new-attorney-as-westbroek-withdraws-from-case</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== Plea Agreement and Hearing ===
On March 20, 2026, Daniel reached a plea agreement with the government. As a result, the case is not expected to go to trial. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-reaches-plea-agreement-with-the-government</ref> Under the agreement, he is expected to face a sentence of 27 to 33 months in prison, with credit for the 23 months already served. The deal also includes a fine ranging from $10,000 to $95,000 and one to three years of supervised release, subject to conditions.

Daniel had a change of plea hearing on April 9, 2026. Daniel plead guilty to the charge involving MacDougall, and he will be sentenced on July 21, 2026. <ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2042370418200232070</ref> The remaining six charges against him were dismissed as part of the agreement. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/sentencing</ref> Daniel also consented to the disposal of his phone, which had been held as evidence. Chad Oxman is Daniel's new legal guardian.

During the proceedings, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez reviewed the legal process in detail to ensure Daniel understood, to which he repeatedly responded with "yes, your honor". Judge Rodriguez asked standard biographical questions, including his name, age, and educational background. Daniel stated that he had completed "high school and some college," with his field of study as "music." When asked where he attended school, he responded, "uh… UC… LA Film School", possibly referencing the fake [[UCLA Arc|UCLA classes.]]

Daniel was reported as being more on edge during this hearing. Approximately ten fans/trolls were present in the gallery, including a few CU fraternity members dressed in suits. Observers claimed that Daniel did the angry tongue as he took his seat. It was also reported that Chad Oxman was confused about the number of people in the gallery. Daniel joked about his fame and referenced his music on iHeartRadio. His attorney, Jeffrey Feiler, appeared to be annoyed. The two attempted to help Daniel remain calm and comfortable, and he appeared to lighten the mood, making a remark about "Diet Coke served for lunch," and added that he asked a guard whether it contained cocaine, which was followed by a laugh. Daniel was described as having a slightly grown-out buzz cut and long fingernails, and was noted to have gained a considerable amount of weight.

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and taken into custody at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was taken shortly after.

It was initially believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a subsequent call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for several terroristic threats he had made over the past year at the time. These claims were later backed by documents that revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of uttering threats, with a potential maximum sentence of 65 years if convicted on all counts.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|just four weeks earlier]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world was through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. During this time, Daniel befriended [[Lil Sippy]] over the phone after he sent him a letter. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, communications have been strictly through letters, although it appears that all communications have ceased permanently. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was scheduled to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (MCFP Springfield) in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma, where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to MCFP Springfield for further mental health evaluation. Daniel underwent several competency restoration and mental health evaluation processes since his incarceration at MCFP Springfield, and stayed there throughout 2025. The most recent one concluded in November 2025.

On January 13, 2026, Daniel was transferred out of MCFP Springfield and placed in the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Three days later, he was returned to FCI Englewood. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1qc0sm0/update/</ref> He had court hearings on January 22 and February 3, 2026 on his competency. Speedy trial calculations ended on February 9, 2026, and on March 3, 2026, Daniel was deemed '''competent''' to stand trial. It remains uncertain whether Daniel will continue to be institutionalized or be released. On March 20, 2026, Daniel reached a plea agreement with the government, and a change of plea hearing was held on April 9, 2026. Daniel pled guilty to the threat he made toward [[Daniel MacDougall]]. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/sentencing</ref> The remaining six charges were dropped. He is expected to serve 27-33 months in prison, with credit for the 23 months he had already served. Sentencing will occur on July 21, 2026. While his status is always subject to change, assuming his current plea deal holds up and he is sentenced and begins serving time on July 21, he is expected to get out anywhere from November 2026 to May 2027.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he was at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or be institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc is the longest duration of Daniel being incarcerated.

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, Secret Service agent [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right on the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite repeated warnings from a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel continued to make such threats, even making threats directed against MacDougall.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary for Daniel's arrest.

On April 25, 2024, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27, 2024,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on all of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on a bus returning to Boulder. The following morning, he posted on TikTok that he was on his way to the probation meeting, which would be his last social media post before his arrest.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of making threats appeared to escalate in the months leading up to his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly building a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment leading to Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center ([[DDRC|DDRC)]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that previously helped house Daniel. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. The case also included threats to Colorado University and an unspecified state government building. These threats were posted to his Community Tab.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], in his YouTube Community Tab, where he threatened to bomb the Denver County Courthouse. This was the threat that started the investigation.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], in a YouTube short, where he threatened to bomb the White House.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], in a TikTok post, where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], on a TikTok livestream, where he threatened to bomb the FBI headquarters.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day, where his mugshot was taken. Once Daniel was arrested, many speculated the charges to be related to probation violations, [[Dine and Dashing|dine and dashing]], or his admission to watching [[Pedophilia|exploitative material.]] [[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you shall not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had come to his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having had contact with the Secret Service agent who got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, regarding an alleged altercation Daniel was involved in while in custody. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by Bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call was made between Clark and Daniel.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel faced serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" and one count of "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add an additional five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based on all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate the fines that Daniel may face, as they range quite substantially.

On April 9, 2026, the six "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" charges were dropped, with the remaining charge being "Interstate Communication of Threats". <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Any court documents that are not shown on this page are NOT apart of Daniel's case, and should be disregarded. As of recent, there has been a surge in fake court documents circulating on Reddit and other social media platforms. Only trust documents from verified sources.}}{{SpecialMessage|Message=Some scans of court documents may be in low quality. Help us out by getting higher quality/clearer scans.}}[[File:JaredPublicDefender.png|left|thumb|Daniel's public defender, Jared Westbroek. |274x274px]]

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so; therefore, he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie and that everything he had done up to that point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel, after being convinced to do so despite an earlier decision to cut all contact. Daniel reached out in hopes of fixing their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he had many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, just before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed how Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, had introduced motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before, was denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel in a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to be released from jail, which has not yet happened.

As of June 29, 2024, this motion remains unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set for July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that "nothing was accomplished" following the conclusion of the hearing.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also addresses Daniel's request for release. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all that had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel was filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for a period of no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order. According to Daniel around this time, he was in the specialized housing unit (SHU).

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024; however, this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had discussed in their last call, amplified by delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniel's attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in prison for longer than he needed to be. The reason for this is that, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield, Missouri, that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's prison said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed, resulting in Daniel's release. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy prison communications ===
In additional correspondence from prison to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from prison. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed that this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniel's record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> Four days later, Daniel was found not to be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024, and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center and was being held on a 23-hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney who has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. Feiler is very infamous in his own right, as he is most known for being the lawyer of Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-assigned-new-attorney-as-westbroek-withdraws-from-case</ref> The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to restrict certain dockets from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case. He was reassigned to the case on March 3, 2026.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025. It was revealed that this was a 120-day extension request, which was granted.

=== Summer 2025 & Extended Competency Restoration ===
May to August 2025 was another competency restoration period for Daniel. Daniel and his legal counsel had documents from those months restricted from public access, though during the period Daniel sent letters from prison to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> On August 22, 2025, another 120-day evaluation extension request was made and granted.

=== September 18 Hearing & Independent Evaluation ===
On September 8, 2025, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez scheduled a court hearing for September 18, 2025, with Daniel to appear virtually, and his attorney to appear in person. The psychiatric report from August 22, 2025, stated that Daniel remained incompetent to stand trial after three assessments. The purpose of the upcoming hearing is to determine the next steps for Daniel. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nclpqs/daniels_first_hearing_in_16_months/</ref> This is Daniel's first court hearing since May 1, 2024.

The hearing took place on September 18, 2025, and the court placed the case on hold for an independent competency evaluation. Once that is completed, the court will determine whether to do another round of restoration or pursue civil commitment. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nknlpe/update_from_daniels_hearing_today/</ref> The evaluation ended in early November, and in December, his attorney objected to his continued incarceration.
=== Q1 2026 Transfer & Court Hearings ===
[[File:Kaitlyn Hanson pic.png|left|thumb|208x208px|Dr. Katlyn Hanson of Springfield, MO, the lead person in charge of evaluating and monitoring Daniel.]]
[[File:CourtDocumentTestify.png|thumb|349x349px|Fuckass Bob just testified against me!]]An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for January 9, 2026, but it was postponed at Daniel's request. The hearing was rescheduled for January 22, 2026. <ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/80/united-states-v-larson/</ref> Daniel was transferred out of MCFP Springfield on January 13, 2026 after being held there for a year, and was subsequently placed in the Federal Transfer Center for three days. He was then transferred back in FCI Englewood on January 16, 2026 in preparation for his upcoming in-person court hearing.

The hearing took place on January 22, 2026, with Daniel appearing in person. The proceedings were restricted due to the focus on mental health diagnoses.<ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2014495407401808285</ref> Due to time constraints and people waiting to testify, the competency hearing was not concluded. The main forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Katlyn Hanson, provided testimony. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1ql3ami/competency_continued_to_232026/</ref> A certificate of competency was issued, which led many to believe that Daniel was found competent to stand trial, however this may not be true.

Another hearing occurred on February 3, 2026, during which Dr. Mark Mills, another forensic psychiatrist, testified. Judge Regina M. Rodriguez was expected to issue a written ruling about Daniel's competency within the following week.<ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2018767031806697825</ref> A follower somehow entered the courtroom and claimed that Daniel's looks have changed, specifically that he gained weight, was very calm and composed, and his hair was slightly longer. They were removed from the courtroom prior to proceedings. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/february26</ref> The speedy trial calculations were submitted on February 9, 2026, with 57 days remaining at the time. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/feb10</ref>

Additional witnesses were to testify for the hearing, however after the February 3 hearing, the hearing was concluded and these witnesses did not provide testimony. The witnesses were [[Bob Proctor]]; Greg Suarez, CEO of Golden Fiduciary and trustee for [[Nancy Shimer]]'s trust; Mandi Doryland, a Highlands Ranch based counselor who likely previously worked with Daniel; [[Case Managers|Ian Thomson, CEO of Daniel's caretaker company and former case manager; Jodie Marquez, operations director for Roundup Fellowship and an additional case manager]]; Alicia Cho, a psychiatric expert; and [[Tiffany|Tiffany Montano]], Daniel's former therapist. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1qks518/bob_just_testified_against_me/</ref> <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/hearing</ref>

=== March 2026 Competency Ruling & New Attorney ===
On March 3, 2026, a month after the hearing, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez ruled that Daniel was '''mentally''' '''competent to stand trial''' following 20 months (1 year and 8 months) of institutionalization and competency restoration efforts. Daniel disputed that his competency had been restored.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/federal-judge-finds-daniel-larson-competent-to-proceed-sets-trial-date</ref> The case was finally set to proceed to trial, which was scheduled for April 20, 2026.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/federal-judge-finds-daniel-larson-competent-to-proceed-sets-trial-date</ref> He had a hearing on April 9, 2026.

Dr. Katlyn Hanson diagnosed Daniel with Level 1 [[Mental Health|autism spectrum disorder, an unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder]]. She reported that although Daniel demonstrated an understanding of the charges against him and the potential consequences, he tended to minimize the seriousness of the allegations and she was concerned about his ability to assist his attorney in his defense. When Daniel arrived to MCFP Springfield in December 2024, he remained grounded in his beliefs that he was dating [[Grace]], and would even constantly talk about him and Grace with staff at Springfield and his defense. Dr. Katlyn Hanson stated that this delusional beliefs were strengthened by the [[Lil Sippy|trolls]] who [[Jail Communications|interacted with him]] during his stay in jail, claiming that he received prison mail at Springfield containing screenshots of text messages between him and fake Graces. By February 2025, Daniel began taking antipsychotic medication, which reduced his delusions, and soon enough, he finally acknowledged that Grace had nothing to do with his case.

Dr. Mark Mills testified that Daniel could not be fully restored to competency because his cognitive deficits come from both his autism and borderline intellectual functioning, which are considered untreatable. While his delusions improved with the antipsychotic medication and structured treatment at Springfield, Dr. Mills emphasized that Daniel's autism was the controlling diagnosis, preventing him from fully understanding or interacting with his defense team, or recalling information about the threats he made at the time. Dr. Mills also further noted that although Daniel preferred to be found competent and go to trial, his preference likely reflected his cognitive limitations and tendency to agree rather than a fully informed understanding of the legal proceedings, and that he would be unlikely to recall or explain his mental state at the time he allegedly made the threats.

Daniel's mental health history was also documented extensively. The document indicated that he had been [[Self Harm|hitting himself]] and punching holes in walls since at least 2011, and that he had been hospitalized twice for these behaviors, once in 2017 and again in 2023. Daniel was also reported to have hit his head in FCI Englewood out of frustration. In 2011, Daniel's [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] shared that he had a "non-accidental head injury" at three weeks old and had a seizure at five months. Daniel has also claimed that his mother hit him in the head with a hammer when he was eight years old, though the accuracy of this claim is uncertain. His IQ was reported to be 72, which is slightly above the typical threshold for an intellectual disability.

Daniel no longer qualifies for a free attorney, and his previous attorney, Jared Westbroek, withdrew from the case. Daniel was subsequently reassigned to Jeffrey Feiler, who had represented him the previous year.<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-assigned-new-attorney-as-westbroek-withdraws-from-case</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== Plea Agreement and Hearing ===
On March 20, 2026, Daniel reached a plea agreement with the government. As a result, the case is not expected to go to trial. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/daniel-reaches-plea-agreement-with-the-government</ref> Under the agreement, he is expected to face a sentence of 27 to 33 months in prison, with credit for the 23 months already served. The deal also includes a fine ranging from $10,000 to $95,000 and one to three years of supervised release, subject to conditions.

Daniel had a change of plea hearing on April 9, 2026. Daniel plead guilty to the charge involving MacDougall, and he will be sentenced on July 21, 2026. <ref>https://x.com/flexburgerr/status/2042370418200232070</ref> The remaining six charges against him were dismissed as part of the agreement. <ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/sentencing</ref> Daniel also consented to the disposal of his phone, which had been held as evidence. Chad Oxman is Daniel's new legal guardian.

During the proceedings, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez reviewed the legal process in detail to ensure Daniel understood, to which he repeatedly responded with "yes, your honor". Judge Rodriguez asked standard biographical questions, including his name, age, and educational background. Daniel stated that he had completed "high school and some college," with his field of study as "music." When asked where he attended school, he responded, "uh… UC… LA Film School", possibly referencing the fake [[UCLA Arc|UCLA classes.]]

Daniel was reported as being more on edge during this hearing. Approximately ten fans/trolls were present in the gallery, including a few CU fraternity members dressed in suits. Observers claimed that Daniel did the angry tongue as he took his seat. It was also reported that Chad Oxman was confused about the number of people in the gallery. Daniel joked about his fame and referenced his music on iHeartRadio. His attorney, Jeffrey Feiler, appeared to be annoyed. The two attempted to help Daniel remain calm and comfortable, and he appeared to lighten the mood, making a remark about "Diet Coke served for lunch," and added that he asked a guard whether it contained cocaine, which was followed by a laugh. Daniel was described as having a slightly grown-out buzz cut and long fingernails, and was noted to have gained a considerable amount of weight.

'''Griffin Menne,''' better known '''Clark''' or '''Clark & Associates,''' was [[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson's]] last and most recent [[Management|manager]]. He was also a [[troll]] who was under the guise of being a lawyer for the [[Grace VanderWaal|VanderWaals]].<ref name=":0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVdhASGNW5o&ab_channel=larsonleakraw</ref>He is also the manager who has spent the most amount of time with Daniel, managing him for a whopping 10 months. Clark is now considered by many on the subreddit to be the next lolcow.

Clark was one of the only managers or trolls who truly considered Daniel as a friend, and would spend each and every day on the phone with him. He prioritized Daniel over both family and work, admitting that one year he spent his entire Thanksgiving on the phone with Daniel, resulting in his family members getting mad at him. [https://youtu.be/lf8UEbPKyKA?si=owEsAGRHBvja0Vds He has also recorded himself getting in trouble at work for going into the bathroom to call Daniel.]

Clark is also very controversial for actions such as fueling Daniel's dangerous delusions of being in contact with [[Grace VanderWaal]] and her family, getting his associates to role-play as Grace and other famous people across several [[Daniel Larson Team and Family Management|discord servers]].<ref>[[Daniel Larson Team and Family Management]]</ref><ref>[[UCLA Arc]]</ref> He is also known for [[gatekeeping]] content of Daniel, leading Daniel into potentially dangerous situations where he had a meltdown in public spaces such as [[the Golden Hotel Incident]], financially [[Enablers|enabling]] Daniel by supplying him with cash and gift cards, and being behind every call made to Daniel whilst he was in jail until the rise of [[Lil Sippy]].<ref>[[Daniel Larson Team and Family Management]]</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/17impnb/the_starbucks_cards_he_stole_from_the_green_bag/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V8f-Vg9YEw</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWfF2ZeHdbc</ref>

Clark initially found Daniel during the [[Las Vegas Arc]], to which he then "played the long game" until he managed to gain the title of Daniel's manager. His "firm's" name is watermarked on the Folsom County court hearing footage, as well as several other videos. Since then, Clark has been involved in many incidents, such as [[the Golden Hotel Incident]] where he convinced Daniel that he and Grace had bought a room at the hotel. When it was found there was not one, it ultimately resulted in Daniel causing damage to property inside the establishment and screaming profanities at the staff.

On December 17, 2023, Clarks identity was revealed by one of Daniel's most prolific managers, [[Flexburger]]. Clark took part in an interview conducted by [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]],<ref name=":0" /> a channel Flexburger himself owns. Despite his identity being exposed, Clark still opted to manage Daniel, unlike [[Combotter|many]] [[Samantha|others]] who had quit after having their identities exposed.

However, on February 28, 2024, Clark vanished from the Daniel Larson community and demanded for personally identifiable information about himself to be removed from his article from this very wiki so people could not track him. It was assumed that he officially cut ties with Daniel. However, this didn't last very long, as it was evident that Clark had not sunk his claws out of Daniel.

On May 1, 2024, phone calls between Clark and Daniel surfaced, revealing that Daniel was [[Second Jail Arc|arrested by the FBI]]. It would not be until later on that Clark gave him a another call, revealing that none of what he had been doing up to that point was legitimate, and that he was lying to Daniel. After this, Clark quit managing him, and considering how things had been going, it seemed Clark may have been the last ever manager of Daniel Larson. However, he reappeared in the Larsonverse in September after another jail call, and then was succeeded by [[Lil Sippy]].

Clark has cemented himself as one of Daniel’s most controversial managers, as during the wake of the Second Jail Arc, he and other members of management were investigated by the FBI regarding threats Daniel had made.
== Background ==
Prior to managing Daniel, Clark attended high school, and, "had a decent thing going" after graduating. Though, it appears he lost his luck, because Clark would be expelled from his college. This was due to Clarks struggle with alcoholism, and, as said by himself, him doing "stupid things."

After attending rehab, Clark channeled his obsession with drinking into Daniel. Seeing as Daniel was ripe for exploitation in the lead up to his interactions with him, Clark obtained his number from an unknown individual and started to messaged him until he gained Daniel's trust.

After becoming Daniel's manager, Clark alleged that they spoke more than 10 hours a week, to a point where it was interfering with his work schedule and relationship with his parents.<ref name=":0" /> This got to the point where Clark was reprimanded at his job for speaking to Daniel so much, so much so that his parents caught Clark talking to Daniel on Thanksgiving. This is given the fact that due to Daniel's homelessness and lack of resources and a job, he has almost nothing to do all day but talk to people on the phone and post on social media. Clark also claims that he felt connected to Daniel, as they were both similar in a way. However, Clark claims that was this was only so people would feel bad for him.
== Trolling ==
=== Manipulation ===
Clark and his associates mainly had conversations with Daniel in a [[Daniel Larson Team and Family Management|Discord server]], wherein they would roleplay as Daniel's delusions (most notably Grace VanderWaal) to gain Daniel's trust. These conversations came as far back as November of 2023 and can be found in the [[November 1st - November 13th DLTFM Logs]]. Clark was also one of many people who gaslit Daniel. Many of these gaslighting incidents led to Daniel having outbursts, such as [[The Golden Hotel Incident]], in which Clark insisted Daniel had a reservation for a room when he did not.

== Relationships ==
{{Stub}}

=== Daniel ===
''Main Article: [[Daniel Larson]]''

Daniel and Clark's relationship can only be described as unhealthy. For the time Clark managed him, Daniel viewed Clark as his only friend, and in their final calls to each other, Daniel begged Clark to keep being "friends" with him, when they never had such a relationship. For 10 months, Clark (at least, according to him) spoke to Daniel for almost the whole day, and was the only person he had that wasn't [[Bob Proctor]], or [[trolls]] trying to antagonize him.

=== Bob ===
''Main Article: [[Bob Proctor]]''
== "Retirement" ==

[[File:ClarkArrest.png|left|thumb|310x310px|Looks like Clark Better Call Saul!]]
While he had “officially” retired from being Daniel’s management on March 1st, 2024, only to return in April 2024, Clark ''officially'' retired from being management in May 2024 following his arrest on [[Second Jail Arc|April 30th]].

Clark claimed to have been investigated by policemen that arrived to his place of work, showing a video of police scouting his workplace. From here on, Clark went radio silent especially to his management team which had led many to believe Clark was facing criminal charges for coercion and his involvement with Daniel. However, this was not the case as Clark revealed that while he was told by Secret Service agent [[Daniel MacDougall]] to not interfere with the investigation, he himself along with the rest of management would be investigated by law enforcement regarding certain statements he had made, which eventually brought him to justice. Clark claims that without him, Daniel would have never been brought to justice. Obviously, this is untrue.

While Daniel was in jail, they shared phone correspondence where Clark admit that everything he had done and told Daniel up to that point was a lie, and that he was ceasing contact with him permanently.

Following the release of [[Larsonleak|Larsonleak's]] video, Clark would make a post on the subreddit defending his own actions before ending the post with "Clark out", a saying that has become popular within the subreddit associated with Clark. Clark would cement himself as a separate lolcow within the Daniel Larson community, with his role and his means of getting rid of Daniel being a subject of immense debate, with the community being split upon the morality and tactics of Clark's actions to get Daniel locked up.

=== Reddit Fallout ===
{{Stub}}

== Return to Service ==
Larsonleak would make a video in September 2024, where it was revealed that Clark and Daniel had continued contact, and does so to this day. With another individual, [[Lil Sippy]], contacting Daniel, Clark and Sippy would fight over who gets to have the most contact.

'''Lucas Sebastian Gunatilleke'''<ref>https://archive.org/details/proposed-complaint-1</ref> is an [[Enablers|enabler]] and persistent impersonator of [[Daniel Larson]]. He is known for paying for his Uber Eats and booking him motel rooms, setting up a GoFundMe for him, filing several frivolous lawsuits against editors of this wiki, pretending to be Grace VanderWaal, setting up a cameo account for Daniel after he got banned from the service, and [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|getting the original wiki deleted]].

He was able to fund money for Daniel through the creator fund on TikTok, and according to Lucas, raised over $20,000 for Daniel. Following the [[Second Jail Arc]], Lucas went on an active impersonation spree, first impersonating [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]], and then Daniel on several different accounts. Lucas spends all day making TikTok accounts pretending to be Daniel, most notably one where he pretended to be Daniel while he was [[Daniel and the Law|incarcerated]], and another where he utilizes past live streams VODs of Daniel to make it seem like he is live streaming, even though he is in jail. Despite his accounts not being convincing at all, many continue to fall for his ruse.

He also went under the name "Lauren Albento" on Discord, and would often brag, posting screenshots of how much money he made. Daniel would mention this account on multiple occasions, often mispronouncing his name as "Lawrence."

In August 2024, Lucas became aware of this very article, sending vague legal threats to the original admin, claiming he was a victim of defamation and libel, and calling a wiki editor various racial and transphobic slurs.

His infamy has since peaked as of 2025, wherein he began sharing around PDF documents of supposed lawsuits he filed against figures in the Larsonverse and wiki editors, with him being the chief perpetrator of the [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|temporary deletion of the wiki and it's URL transfer]].

After the wiki was revived, Lucas has since retreated, either cutting his losses and leaving the Larsonverse for good or continuing his escapades as impersonating [[Presidential Campaigns|our future president]].

On December 15th, 2023, Daniel created a new [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]] account under the name of ''Daniellarsonwork2024''. This surprised many, as he had been previously banned from the service. In videos made from this time, Daniel claimed that "Grace" helped him get unbanned from Cameo.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7313058506159050014</ref> Of course, this was merely Lucas impersonating Grace. Lucas used the TikTok account, @gracevanderwaaldenver, to gain Daniel's trust. Under the moniker of Grace, Lucas would post orders he'd placed for Daniel via UberEats (and foolishly leaving his name in the video), as well as giving Daniel money for motels.

Lucas would also give Daniel money on his live streams, utterly unaware that Daniel could not collect any of this money because he did not have a viable PayPal acount to connect to his TikTok account. In a message on Reddit, Lucas claimed that he raised over $5,000 for Daniel via the TikTok creator fund, although the validity of this is unknown.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1232919446298034197/1269079407507673169/image.jpg?ex=66b8a50d&is=66b7538d&hm=73e87063ee09c4a81eb9bd014290dad3b6a076f8b9ab30432163291a632abc30&</ref>

Additionally, on the 22nd of 2023, Lucas would start a GoFundMe in an attempt to raise money in hopes of getting Daniel off the streets before Christmas, listing his TikTok in the description of it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18ol83p/lucas_begging_for_money_on_his_tiktok/#lightbox</ref> The goal for this GoFundMe was 300 dollars, and the name it was listed under was "Luka Da Silva." It is unclear as to why Lucas went under this name. But, this would eventually be used to find out his true identity. Daniel's new Cameo account would be quickly banned once more, and the GoFundMe failed. This fake Grace account was eventually looked into alongside a number of other accounts, including @Daniellarsonpredator and @Lukka.gg, were found. After being doxxed, many scrutinized Lucas for helping Daniel, especially in light of his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic behavior]].

After being doxxed, Lucas would release an apology on his TikTok account, posting black screens with text reading things such as "I am sorry for buying Daniel food," as well as "surrendering" to those who had his personal information. Lucas offered $300 to not have any more of his information leaked, threatening to end his life. <gallery>

==TikTok Sockpuppet accounts==
[[File:FakeLarsonleakaccount.png|thumb|288x288px|Lucas' fake account impersonating LarsonLeak. ]]
Starting in May 2024, Lucas would begin impersonating several people. The first of which was LarsonLeak, a YouTube channel run by Daniel's past manager, [[Flexburger]]. On May 3rd, Lucas was contacted by Flexburger, who politely asked him to change his account name, as he was completely unaffiliated with him, and did not want anyone to think that his account belonged to him, or anyone else who had collaborated with LarsonLeak. Lucas replied to this by saying, "Do you not have bigger things to worry about right now,".
As of July 2024, the account has 90k followers.
In July, following the [[Second Jail Arc]], Lucas would create the account @daniellarsonprison2024.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e579bs/daniel_larson_prison_2024/</ref> On this account, he would pretend to be Daniel while he was still in jail, post fake photos of his food, and making posts about his issues finding ways to keep his phone battery charged. This account was theorized to be Daniel's account, but it was quickly dismissed, as the account only reposted videos from the past.

[[File:SelfDefenseWord1.png|thumb|I suppose he isn't fond of [[Transgender|trance genders]].]]
Shortly after his article was made, Lucas, on July 30th, 2024, created an account on this very Wiki. His first action in response to the article made about him was to attempt and vandalize it, before being banned by the abuse filter.

On August 2nd, Lucas created a new topic on the Admin's talk page, demanding the article written about him be removed and making vague threats.<ref>[[User talk:Admin]]</ref>
{{Quote|Hello,

I’m requesting that you would please delete the page about me from this wiki. Numerous claims that are written on there are absolutely untrue. I do not run the TikTok account @daniellarsonprison2024 therefore when you are writing that ‘ The account has a fake cashtag in bio where he scams people for money ‘ you are falsely accusing me of fraud.

As my full name is still logged in the page history this page appears when my name is searched into google which means any potential employers/universities are going to see your false claims. This is absolutely libel/defamation and if I am able to get your details from the domain registrar you are going to have a big problem.|author=Lucas}}
[[File:SelfDefenseWord2.png|left|thumb|321x321px|[[Porch Charging Incident|"Okay, nigger."]]]]
The admin responded cordially, not deleting his article, instead choosing to hide the entire page history, and encouraging Lucas to remove any information he deemed to be defamatory. Following this, Lucas would remove a majority of information from his article, removing citations and images that substantiated claims made. In his edit history, he claimed these actions to be "factually correct." In this revision of the article, it was stated that his reasoning for creating a GoFundMe for Daniel was because, "people wanted to see him die on the streets." Not long after, this revision was undone, resulting in the admin reinstating Lucas' previous edit. When questioned about this, they elaborated by saying that they were receiving threats of legal action from Lucas.

On August 3rd, Lucas messaged wiki editor KanamoriKamper, initiating the conversation by saying he "hated trannies," and calling him the [[Self Defense Word|self-defense word]]. When asked on why he did so, Lucas pretended to be black, gave information about his employment at Uber, and continued to claim that he was being defamed by his inclusion on the wiki. Soon after, he explained his reasoning for interacting Daniel was to manipulate him for more content, further evidencing why he had an article made about him in the first place.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jcP-z58-7ulgv0ILRmN_1cFikUSuXWaz/view?usp=sharing (archive: https://files.catbox.moe/fk5pow.mov)</ref>

Of course, this did not help his case at all.

'''Lucas Sebastian Gunatilleke'''<ref>https://archive.org/details/proposed-complaint-1</ref> is an [[Enablers|enabler]] and persistent impersonator of [[Daniel Larson]]. He is known for paying for his Uber Eats and booking him motel rooms, setting up a GoFundMe for him, filing several frivolous lawsuits against editors of this wiki, pretending to be Grace VanderWaal, setting up a cameo account for Daniel after he got banned from the service, and [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|getting the original wiki deleted]].

He was able to fund money for Daniel through the creator fund on TikTok, and according to Lucas, raised over $20,000 for Daniel. Following the [[Second Jail Arc]], Lucas went on an active impersonation spree, first impersonating [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]], and then Daniel on several different accounts. Lucas spends all day making TikTok accounts pretending to be Daniel, most notably one where he pretended to be Daniel while he was [[Daniel and the Law|incarcerated]], and another where he utilizes past live streams VODs of Daniel to make it seem like he is live streaming, even though he is in jail. Despite his accounts not being convincing at all, many continue to fall for his ruse.

He also went under the name "Lauren Albento" on Discord, and would often brag, posting screenshots of how much money he made. Daniel would mention this account on multiple occasions, often mispronouncing his name as "Lawrence."

In August 2024, Lucas became aware of this very article, sending vague legal threats to the original admin, claiming he was a victim of defamation and libel, and calling a wiki editor various racial and transphobic slurs.

His infamy has since peaked as of 2025, wherein he began sharing around PDF documents of supposed lawsuits he filed against figures in the Larsonverse and wiki editors, with him being the chief perpetrator of the [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|temporary deletion of the wiki and it's URL transfer]].

He is known for paying for his Uber Eats and booking him motel rooms, setting up a GoFundMe for him, filing several frivolous lawsuits against editors of this wiki, pretending to be Grace VanderWaal, setting up a cameo account for Daniel after he got banned from the service, and [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|getting the original wiki deleted]].

He was able to fund money for Daniel through the creator fund on TikTok, and according to Lucas, raised over $20,000 for Daniel. Following the [[Second Jail Arc]], Lucas went on an active impersonation spree, first impersonating [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]], and then Daniel on several different accounts. Lucas spends all day making TikTok accounts pretending to be Daniel, most notably one where he pretended to be Daniel while he was [[Daniel and the Law|incarcerated]], and another where he utilizes past live streams VODs of Daniel to make it seem like he is live streaming, even though he is in jail. Despite his accounts not being convincing at all, many continue to fall for his ruse.

He also went under the name "Lauren Albento" on Discord, and would often brag, posting screenshots of how much money he made. Daniel would mention this account on multiple occasions, often mispronouncing his name as "Lawrence."

In August 2024, Lucas became aware of this very article, sending vague legal threats to the original admin, claiming he was a victim of defamation and libel, and calling a wiki editor various racial and transphobic slurs.

His infamy has since peaked as of 2025, wherein he began sharing around PDF documents of supposed lawsuits he filed against figures in the Larsonverse and wiki editors, with him being the chief perpetrator of the [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer|temporary deletion of the wiki and it's URL transfer]].

[[File:LucasTrain.png|thumb|352x352px|Lucas, threatening to kill himself. ]]
On December 15th, 2023, Daniel created a new [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]] account under the name of ''Daniellarsonwork2024''. This surprised many, as he had been previously banned from the service. In videos made from this time, Daniel claimed that "Grace" helped him get unbanned from Cameo.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7313058506159050014</ref> Of course, this was merely Lucas impersonating Grace. Lucas used the TikTok account, @gracevanderwaaldenver, to gain Daniel's trust. Under the moniker of Grace, Lucas would post orders he'd placed for Daniel via UberEats (and foolishly leaving his name in the video), as well as giving Daniel money for motels.

Lucas would also give Daniel money on his live streams, utterly unaware that Daniel could not collect any of this money because he did not have a viable PayPal acount to connect to his TikTok account. In a message on Reddit, Lucas claimed that he raised over $5,000 for Daniel via the TikTok creator fund, although the validity of this is unknown.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1232919446298034197/1269079407507673169/image.jpg?ex=66b8a50d&is=66b7538d&hm=73e87063ee09c4a81eb9bd014290dad3b6a076f8b9ab30432163291a632abc30&</ref>

Additionally, on the 22nd of 2023, Lucas would start a GoFundMe in an attempt to raise money in hopes of getting Daniel off the streets before Christmas, listing his TikTok in the description of it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18ol83p/lucas_begging_for_money_on_his_tiktok/#lightbox</ref> The goal for this GoFundMe was 300 dollars, and the name it was listed under was "Luka Da Silva." It is unclear as to why Lucas went under this name. But, this would eventually be used to find out his true identity. Daniel's new Cameo account would be quickly banned once more, and the GoFundMe failed. This fake Grace account was eventually looked into alongside a number of other accounts, including @Daniellarsonpredator and @Lukka.gg, were found. After being doxxed, many scrutinized Lucas for helping Daniel, especially in light of his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic behavior]].

After being doxxed, Lucas would release an apology on his TikTok account, posting black screens with text reading things such as "I am sorry for buying Daniel food," as well as "surrendering" to those who had his personal information. Lucas offered $300 to not have any more of his information leaked, threatening to end his life. <gallery>

==TikTok Sockpuppet accounts==
[[File:FakeLarsonleakaccount.png|thumb|288x288px|Lucas' fake account impersonating LarsonLeak. ]]
Starting in May 2024, Lucas would begin impersonating several people. The first of which was LarsonLeak, a YouTube channel run by Daniel's past manager, [[Flexburger]]. On May 3rd, Lucas was contacted by Flexburger, who politely asked him to change his account name, as he was completely unaffiliated with him, and did not want anyone to think that his account belonged to him, or anyone else who had collaborated with LarsonLeak. Lucas replied to this by saying, "Do you not have bigger things to worry about right now,".
As of July 2024, the account has 90k followers.
In July, following the [[Second Jail Arc]], Lucas would create the account @daniellarsonprison2024.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e579bs/daniel_larson_prison_2024/</ref> On this account, he would pretend to be Daniel while he was still in jail, post fake photos of his food, and making posts about his issues finding ways to keep his phone battery charged. This account was theorized to be Daniel's account, but it was quickly dismissed, as the account only reposted videos from the past.

[[File:SelfDefenseWord1.png|thumb|I suppose he isn't fond of [[Transgender|trance genders]].]]
Shortly after his article was made, Lucas, on July 30th, 2024, created an account on this very Wiki. His first action in response to the article made about him was to attempt and vandalize it, before being banned by the abuse filter.

On August 2nd, Lucas created a new topic on the Admin's talk page, demanding the article written about him be removed and making vague threats.<ref>[[User talk:Admin]]</ref>
{{Quote|Hello,

I’m requesting that you would please delete the page about me from this wiki. Numerous claims that are written on there are absolutely untrue. I do not run the TikTok account @daniellarsonprison2024 therefore when you are writing that ‘ The account has a fake cashtag in bio where he scams people for money ‘ you are falsely accusing me of fraud.

As my full name is still logged in the page history this page appears when my name is searched into google which means any potential employers/universities are going to see your false claims. This is absolutely libel/defamation and if I am able to get your details from the domain registrar you are going to have a big problem.|author=Lucas}}
[[File:SelfDefenseWord2.png|left|thumb|321x321px|[[Porch Charging Incident|"Okay, nigger."]]]]
The admin responded cordially, not deleting his article, instead choosing to hide the entire page history, and encouraging Lucas to remove any information he deemed to be defamatory. Following this, Lucas would remove a majority of information from his article, removing citations and images that substantiated claims made. In his edit history, he claimed these actions to be "factually correct." In this revision of the article, it was stated that his reasoning for creating a GoFundMe for Daniel was because, "people wanted to see him die on the streets." Not long after, this revision was undone, resulting in the admin reinstating Lucas' previous edit. When questioned about this, they elaborated by saying that they were receiving threats of legal action from Lucas.

On August 3rd, Lucas messaged wiki editor KanamoriKamper, initiating the conversation by saying he "hated trannies," and calling him the [[Self Defense Word|self-defense word]]. When asked on why he did so, Lucas pretended to be black, gave information about his employment at Uber, and continued to claim that he was being defamed by his inclusion on the wiki. Soon after, he explained his reasoning for interacting Daniel was to manipulate him for more content, further evidencing why he had an article made about him in the first place.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jcP-z58-7ulgv0ILRmN_1cFikUSuXWaz/view?usp=sharing (archive: https://files.catbox.moe/fk5pow.mov)</ref>

Of course, this did not help his case at all.

== Legal threats and URL transfer ==
''More information: [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer]]''

After delivering legal threats to the administrator, Lucas got the wiki successfully deleted for a few hours. It was revived in the coming days by an archive from 2025.

On August 3rd, Lucas messaged wiki editor KanamoriKamper, initiating the conversation by saying he "hated trannies," and calling him the [[Self Defense Word|self-defense word]]. When asked on why he did so, Lucas pretended to be black, gave information about his employment at Uber, and continued to claim that he was being defamed by his inclusion on the wiki. Soon after, he explained his reasoning for interacting Daniel was to manipulate him for more content, further evidencing why he had an article made about him in the first place.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jcP-z58-7ulgv0ILRmN_1cFikUSuXWaz/view?usp=sharing (archive: https://files.catbox.moe/fk5pow.mov)</ref>

Of course, this did not help his case at all.

== Legal threats and URL transfer ==
''More information: [[Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer]]''

After delivering legal threats to the administrator, Lucas got the wiki successfully deleted for a few hours. It was revived in the coming days by an archive from 2024.

{{Quote|So, because of my autism, my grandmother passed away of cancer.|author=Daniel, at a [[Roe v. Wade Reversal Protest|Roe v. Wade protest]].}}

[[Daniel]] has a troubled relationship with '''mental healthcare''' and '''mental health professionals'''. He is very mentally ill, something even those not well-averse in psychiatry can clearly see.

Daniel's delusions are downright dangerous, from thinking he is in a romantic relationship with celebrity [[Grace VanderWaal]], all the way to believing he is a world-famous [[Music|musician]] that is above the law. He is not the brightest candle on the cake, having a childlike mental capacity in comparison with his physical age. This is most apparent in his [[Tennyson Center]] interview, where during the interview, Daniel acts more like a 7-year-old despite being 14 at the time of recording.

As a result of his myriad of disorders, neglectful upbringing, enabling, his very poor intellect, inability to perform self-care, and poor handling of certain situations, Daniel fails to function as an adult. The disorders he is confirmed to have as of March 2026 are '''autism''', '''bipolar disorder''', '''PTSD''', and '''schizophrenia,''' as well as '''an unknown psychotic disorder''' and possible '''traumatic brain injury (TBI)'''. Due to Daniel's hostile relationship with psychotherapy, there are most likely other conditions he suffers from that will remain undiagnosed for the foreseeable future.

== The Problem(s) with Daniel ==

=== Autism ===
Daniel is confirmed to be autistic by both his [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]], by Daniel himself, and by court documents. '''Autism''', formally classified as '''Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)''', refers to a loosely defined, but interconnected, range of neurological challenges with social interaction and communication.

His naïveté, poorly developed social skills, and [[meltdowns]], are all common symptoms of ASD. Daniel has been speculated to have sensory issues, which is commonly seen among those with autism. This is evidenced by the fact that Daniel rarely, if ever, [[Hygiene|bathes]]. This has caused theories to form, speculating if Daniel may have hypersensitivity issues to bathing — meaning that he has an aversion to bathing due to the sensation and/or texture of it on his skin.

As seen in the [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report on the Tennyson Center]], Daniel can be viewed "stimming" and fidgeting repeatedly with his hands, which is defined as, “repetitive movements or noises. Stimming seems to help some autistic children and teenagers manage emotions and cope with overwhelming situations."<ref>[https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/behaviour/common-concerns/stimming-asd#:~:text=Stimming%20is%20repetitive%20movements%20or,replacing%20it%20with%20safer%20behaviour. https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/behaviour/common-concerns/stimming-asd#:~:text=Stimming%20is%20repetitive%20movements%20or,replacing%20it%20with%20safer%20behaviour.]</ref>

Another, much more dangerous, symptom of autism is [[Self Harm|self harm]]. Daniel can be seen in several meltdowns hitting himself, punching holes in walls, screaming, wailing, and slamming his head into his hands. This may be his version of saying that he does not like what is going on around him, as that is a common reason people with autism self-harm this way.<ref name=":0">https://autism.org/causes-and-interventions-for-self-injury-in-autism/</ref> Even though this is often a way for people with autism to signal things, it has also been speculated that Daniel does this to simply garner sympathy. Self harming is, oftentimes, a learned behavior, and Daniel may have self harmed this way when he was younger to get the attention he wants.<ref name=":0" />

Contrary to popular beliefs, autism does not necessarily make someone automatically smart, nor does it increase someone's IQ (unlike the much more appropriate "Savant syndrome"). In fact, around 60-70% of all autistic person have <90 IQ and only 5% of autistic people have greater-than average IQ. It is possible that Daniel is between the mid to low functioning autism. However, he most likely does not have high functioning autism, as many who are live typically normal adult lives without needing any help. In fact, based on the new court documents that were released in March 2026, Daniel is said to have an '''IQ of 72''', making him borderline intellectually functioning. He was only 2 points away from being medically considered intellectually disabled, making him incompetent to stand trial.

Interestingly, there is a strong link between mothers with lupus, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus, giving birth to children with autism.<ref>https://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-10-moms-lupus-children-autism.html</ref> Daniels [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] suffers from lupus, so much so that she would eventually be left wheelchair-bound due to it. While unknown, it is likely that Daniel may have inherited his autism from this.

Despite saying that he has an autism diagnosis, Daniel appears to be in denial of it. He has stated multiple times that his diagnosis is false, that "autism doesn't exist."{{Citation Needed}}or that he has a different disorder that is not autism.<ref>[[Rooftop Interview]]</ref>

=== Bipolar disorder ===
'''Bipolar disorder''' is a mental disorder characterized by rapid and extreme mood swings, characterized by periods of depression, abnormal elation, and sometimes psychosis.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder</ref> While not mentioned by Daniel, his mother has confirmed that he is diagnosed with it.

Daniel is most likely diagnosed with Bipolar I, a more severe subtype of the disorder which presents with full-blown mania (in contrast to the milder hypomania in II) and often psychosis, a mental state which Daniel exhibits many classic symptoms of. Another major driving force behind Daniel's [[meltdowns]] is his bipolar, as in multiple of them, he is seen exhibiting psychotic behaviors. As an example, during the [[Likee Meltdown]], Daniel repeatedly threatened to commit suicide, as well as self-harming, if he was not given information on the status of [[Grace VanderWaal]] and her family.

=== PTSD ===
'''Post-traumatic stress disorder''', or '''PTSD''', is a mental health condition that is triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.<ref>[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event.]</ref>

In the [[Spiddlekick Interview]], Daniel says that he is more of the belief that he has PTSD over autism. It is unknown why he thinks this, but a docket report from the [[Jail Arc]] substantiates this diagnosis. It is called into question what caused his PTSD, whether it be alleged claims of physical, mental and/or sexual abuse from his childhood, or a completely different event entirely.

=== Schizophrenia ===
[[File:DiagnosisApril13.png|thumb|"Delusional ideas"]]

'''Schizophrenia''' is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and [[delusions]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia</ref> His mother has confirmed him having schizophrenia, just like many other of his mental disorders, as well as the fact Daniel has frequently taken [https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-155134/latuda-oral/details Latuda], a schizophrenia medication. He often shows delusions, believing himself to be in a relationship with several celebrities, believing himself to be in contention with [[Jacob Sartorius]], and most notably, believing himself to be a [[Daniel and reality|celebrity]]. Daniel has also had episodes of psychosis, believing himself to be watched or being shot at.

Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution. For example, Daniel at one point believed himself to be followed by several white vans to a point where he stowed away in a gas station out of fear of being hurt. During the [[UCLA Arc]], Daniel was under the impression that the Chinese government was watching him after a troll pretending to be a student mentioned having talked to the government. Furthermore, he thought himself to have been poisoned by staff after eating a [[Red Robin Poisoning|Red Robin]]. After being released from the hospital, his discharge papers described him as having "delusional ideas".

In March 2026, Daniel was documented to have delusional thoughts in MCFP Springfield upon arrival, constantly talking about Grace to jail staff. When he was on medication, these thoughts decreased.

=== Traumatic brain injury (TBI) ===
Based on the March 2026 court documents, it is heavily implied that Daniel has permanent brain injury sustained from both his [[self-harm]] and the abuse perpetrated by his mother. On the competency documents, it states that, along with the trauma sustained by him punching himself in the face, there were reports all the way from 2011 that states that Daniel's mother reported that he had a "non-accidental head injury" when he was only 3 weeks old. He also had a seizure when he was 5 months old. It is said that 1 out of 10 people who were hospitalized after a TBI will have seizures<ref>https://msktc.org/tbi/factsheets/seizures-after-traumatic-brain-injury</ref>. The court documents also states that Daniel reported about an incident where his mother hit him with a hammer when he was only 8 years old. All these circumstances may have exacerbated his cognitive difficulties and may have influenced his low IQ.

=== Daniel's refusal to accept help ===
The one mental failing that debilitates Daniel the most is his downright refusal to adapt to his environment and accept help when he needs it. This stubbornness, more than anything else, is what makes him so frustrating to watch. While Daniel has expressed several times that he desires help for his several problems, he always refuses it when it does not align with his delusions. During a conversation with his manager [[Ox]], when he was informed that every time he spoke to "Grace" he was speaking to a troll, he seemed to only acknowledge it in order to get Ox to stop talking to him. Daniel complains multiple times about not receiving help, even though he has received multiple items such as changes of clothes and hygiene products (which he often throws away), as well as large amounts of money, all because of the hospitality of others.

Despite being told multiple times by multiple people to buy more affordable meals so he would not have to deal with the consequences of [[dine and dashes]], Daniel refused and continued to buy food wildly out of his price range, suffering [[Daniel and the Law|legal consequences]] due to defrauding restaurants he went to.

It is very obvious that Daniel values his [[delusions]] over his own well-being, because if he actually chose to accept the help of others, and follow the rules of establishments and places he stays at, he would have been in housing a very long time ago, or even more, not be [[Homeless Era|homeless]] at all.

== History of professional help ==

=== Tennyson Center ===
[[Spiddlekick Interview|As noted]], Daniel was regularly medicated during his time attending school at and living at the [[Tennyson Center]]. He claimed that once a month, students would meet with a doctor to prescribe and check on the effects of medication supplied to them. Given Daniel's documented violence, both [[November 6th Arrest|then]] and [[April 6th Incident|now]], it is likely that he was put on some type of antipsychotic by the center.

=== Sobesky Academy ===
It is not confirmed if Daniel was medicated during his high school years. However, according to a [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|classmate]] of Daniel's, they state that it was highly speculated and very likely that he was medicated, considering that Daniel was very reserved and was rarely violent to others, and only occasionally [[Self Harm|to himself]].

=== Therapists ===
Daniel has, in the past, worked with therapists to manage his mental health, such as [[Tiffany|Tiffany Montano]], a licensed clinical social worker and therapist whom operated as Daniel’s therapist from [[2021#May|May 2021]] to [[2022#June|June 2022]]. To no one's surprise, her sessions did not help Daniel. Through his delusions of persecution, he convinced himself that she wanted to contact Jakob VanderWaal<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/tt5u4f/okay_so_my_therapist_is_asking_to_speak_to_jacob/</ref> and coerce him into severing his ties with [[Management]].

=== Psychiatric Wards ===
While the quality of "help" can be debated, Daniel is no stranger to stints at looney bins. During the conclusion of the [[Dog Arc]], Daniel was put into a psych ward following him having a [[The 7/11 Incident|meltdown in a Walmart]], as well as calling the police multiple times to "get his situation heard." While it is unknown if he was truly given medication, a voice note that surfaced during his stay depicts a very medicated sounding Daniel. It is most likely that he was given antipsychotics during his week-long stay.

After threatening people with fireworks, Daniel was put into a mental hospital which he has described as "A living hell", where he was given Latuda, a medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u6AothG63B4</ref>

=== Second Jail Arc ===
After being found incompetent for trial on July 19, 2024 during the [[Second Jail Arc]], Daniel was ordered to be institutionalized for a mental health evaluation, and was finally transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10. Two weeks later, he was institutionalized at MCFP Springfield for competency restoration where spent over a year. He was found competent on March 3, 2026, and his mental health history was documented. Following his time at MCFP Springfield in court hearings, Daniel was noted as being much more calm and level-headed than when he was homeless<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/federal-judge-finds-daniel-larson-competent-to-proceed-sets-trial-date<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">
"Defendant did not testify during the hearing, but the Court did have an opportunity to observe Defendant over two days in the courtroom. Defendant sat calmly and quietly for over five and a half hours of testimony over two days. He did not engage in disruptive behavior."
</syntaxhighlight></ref>, though could still be agitated by the presence of trolls<ref>https://larsonleak.net/leakweek/sentencing<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">
"Daniel was “more on edge this time.” There were about 10 fans in the gallery, including “broccoli-heads from TikTok” thinking Daniel was going to get released today, and a few CU frat members in suits. [...] Daniel did an “angry tongue” as he sat down."
</syntaxhighlight></ref>. This is because Daniel, since he entered MCFP Springfield, has been under the regular supervision and care of therapists and psychiatrists, and has been regularly taking antipsychotic medication and eating a stable diet.

== Delusions ==
As a result of his many serious mental illnesses and patchy, almost nonexistent professional treatment for them, Daniel has had several constant patterns of delusions (also spelled as delusional thinking) throughout his life. The DSM-5 defines delusions as: "[...] fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence [...]".<ref>[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D.]</ref> Simultaneously, it is defined by the National Library of Medicine as: "[...] a fixed false belief based on an inaccurate interpretation of an external reality despite evidence to the contrary."<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539855/</ref> Delusions themselves are not a unified kind of phenomena; they are usually divided into ''persecutory'', ''grandiose'', ''somatic'', ''erotomanic'', ''referential'' and ''nihilistic'' delusions, among other kinds.

=== Persecutory delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established persecution complex. He thinks that unknown entities prosecute him because he is, among other reasons, "[...] fucking famous, bitch!".

=== Grandiose delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established grandeur complex.

=== Somatic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird or delusional beliefs/ways of thinking about the many sensations and functions of his body.

=== Erotomanic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird, if not depraved sexual delusions towards others, in particular [[Grace VanderWaal]].

=== Referential delusions ===
Daniel often times sees gestures, comments and environmental cues, that, to the mentally sound, would be benign and confidential; for Daniel, however, he has had several moments where he believed such things were directed at him.

=== Nihilistic delusions ===
Daniel has been recorded to, on occasion, hold delusion beliefs of an impending catastrophe. This is seen plainly through his community tab posts and the [[Nuke Incident]].

Daniel's delusions are downright dangerous, from thinking he is in a romantic relationship with celebrity [[Grace VanderWaal]], all the way to believing he is a world-famous [[Music|musician]] that is above the law.

As seen in the [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report on the Tennyson Center]], Daniel can be viewed "stimming" and fidgeting repeatedly with his hands, which is defined as, “repetitive movements or noises.

== Delusions ==
As a result of his many serious mental illnesses and patchy, almost nonexistent professional treatment for them, Daniel has had several constant patterns of delusions (also spelled as delusional thinking) throughout his life. The DSM-5 defines delusions as: "[...] fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence [...]".<ref>[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D.]</ref> Simultaneously, it is defined by the National Library of Medicine as: "[...] a fixed false belief based on an inaccurate interpretation of an external reality despite evidence to the contrary."<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539855/</ref> Delusions themselves are not a unified kind of phenomena; they are usually divided into ''persecutory'', ''grandiose'', ''somatic'', ''erotomanic'', ''referential'' and ''nihilistic'' delusions, among other kinds.

=== Persecutory delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established persecution complex. He thinks that unknown entities prosecute him because he is, among other reasons, "[...] fucking famous, bitch!".

=== Grandiose delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established grandeur complex.

=== Somatic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird or delusional beliefs/ways of thinking about the many sensations and functions of his body.

=== Erotomanic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird, if not depraved sexual delusions towards others, in particular [[Grace VanderWaal]].

=== Referential delusions ===
Daniel often times sees gestures, comments and environmental cues, that, to the mentally sound, would be benign and confidential; for Daniel, however, he has had several moments where he believed such things were directed at him.

=== Nihilistic delusions ===
Daniel has been recorded to, on occasion, hold delusion beliefs of an impending catastrophe. This is seen plainly through his community tab posts and the [[Nuke Incident]].

Pedophilia

2026-03-22T18:20:53Z

Kultur:

{{CW}}{{SpecialMessage|Message=Due to the subject matter of this article, there will be a much higher standard of evidence. All claims must be sourced, preferably from primary and secondary sourced.}}
[[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson's]] most (in)famous trait is his extensive history regarding '''pedophilia''' and '''pedophilic behavior.''' It is unclear where this behavior comes from. While the cause is extensively debated, It is speculated to have come from alleged childhood sexual abuse, the twisted, disjointed way he views the world (on account of his [[Mental Health|mental illnesses]]), intense porn addiction, and his stunted sexual development.

While Daniel has been manipulated to make admissions of pedophilia and evidence has been faked by past [[management]] and [[trolls]], those are not the only components of Daniel's story in this regard. Multiple pieces of evidence have arisen throughout his years online which have shown Daniel to be a pedophile, ranging from CSAM material on his personal devices, to being caught in sting operations multiple times.

== Origins==
===Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is unknown if Daniel was truly raped or if he had an act adjacent to that performed onto him. It is important to note that Daniel is perfectly capable of being a pedophile, and exhibiting pedophilic tendencies, without constant accusations of childhood rape.}}[[File:Daniel Quora question about his mom.png|thumb|Daniel's question on [[Quora]] about his mother.]][[File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|thumb|Michelle Lawrence's comment on Facebook.|left]]It is speculated and constantly debated that Daniel's pedophilia is a result of a traumatic childhood experience, such as facing sexual abuse.

As such, it is speculated that Daniel's [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] sexually assaulted him when he was young. This rumor spread after his [[Quora|Quora page]] was discovered. Quora is a website dedicated to asking and answering questions. On this account, Daniel questioned as to if the reader ever experienced their mother sexually stimulating them as a child. As such, many made the assumption that Elisabeth had carried out this act on his son. However, this is unconfirmed, and most likely false. During the [[Dog Arc]], a Facebook user by the name of Michelle Lawrence claimed to have worked with Daniel during his childhood, most likely during the time in which he was at the [[Tennyson Center]]. She claimed that Daniel had "...a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)," which adds believability the claim that Daniel was possibly molested as a child. However, due to no records existing of Michelle actually being an employee at the Tennyson Center, her claims remain invalid. Daniel is known to hold grudges against people, and if he had been previously sexually abused, especially in childhood, he most likely would have already posted about it. [[File:Ryan-Summer Camp abuse allegations.png|thumb]]
This is incredibly important as there has been an incredibly strong link established between childhood abuse and pedophilia, as anywhere between 33% to 75% of child sex offenders report being sexually abused as children.<ref name=":2">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01542465</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0145213413000264</ref> According to a Canadian study:
{{Quote|Those who had been sexually abused before age 16 sexually offended against significantly younger victims and had significantly more indicators of pedophilic interest}}
Daniel's pedophilic tendencies could be a response to traumatic events from his childhood. Although Daniel's childhood abuse is tragic, it may have positive implications for his recovery. Sex offenders who were victims as children are more likely to complete treatment and avoid re-offending.<ref>https://journals.lww.com/practicalpsychiatry/abstract/2002/09000/clinical_features_of_pedophilia_and_implications.4.aspx</ref> However, it is highly unlikely for Daniel to receive treatment as a result of his [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental illnesses]] and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them.

Daniel also alleges that he was abused by a person named [[Ryan|"Ryan"]] from 2018-2019, although the validity of Ryan sexually assaulting Daniel is questionable, as information from the [[Caretaker Call]] implies that Daniel may have been the one to assault Ryan. Additionally, statements regarding when Ryan raped him are often contradictory or do not make any sense at all. For example, Daniel claims that Ryan sexually assaulted him due to Ryan supposedly being jealous of his perceived "[[Delusions|fame]]."

One of the earliest recorded instances of someone accusing Daniel of pedophilia online was November 22, 2020.<ref>https://x.com/jahaha_0/status/1330672361218088962</ref><ref>https://archive.ph/TbDbr</ref>

== Examples of Pedophilic Behaviour ==

===Obsession With Child Celebrities and Children in general ===
One of the most consistently appearing figures in the Daniel Larson saga is [[Grace VanderWaal]], whom he was obsessed with when she was well under the age of 18. Daniel has been known to like, bookmark, and watch videos of children. His usual subjects are celebrities such as the aforementioned Grace and Darci Lynne, but also with random children, which most disturbingly, were as young as infants. In October of 2023, Daniel was caught by a Reddit user liking photos of their infant child.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1731tnt/daniel_just_followed_me_on_tiktok_and_liked_all/</ref>

=== Exposed Pinterest Leak ===
''Main article: [[Post-Pinterest Leak Live Stream]]''

In November 2020, Daniel's Pinterest account was discovered under "Hollywoodlars20", the handle used in many of his social media accounts and Gmail. The Pinterest had pinned images of young girls, a map of the United States with the age of consent per state, dating back to February 2020. A Zoom meeting with Daniel was held where he was confronted with the account matching his social media. He consistently denied owning the account, often making up excuses, but after a lot of pressure, eventually admitted to owning it. Daniel then deleted the account after realizing he was caught.

===Camera Roll===
On an unknown date, Daniel accidentally exposed his camera roll, which displayed possibly hundred of saved photos of children on his phone, some of them containing explicitly illegal photos of child nudity.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/k0vTOpu</ref>[Censored, of course]

'''Second Pinterest'''[[File:Daniel’s Screenshot.jpg|alt=Daniel Larson’s Screenshot|thumb|The screenshot Daniel uploaded, with his profile photo circled.]]In September 2023, Daniel’s second Pinterest was exposed by a Reddit user. The account was found when Daniel uploaded a screenshot which included his profile photo and an account he followed. His account, “Joy King” or comfortablecop12, was found by looking through J Gummysmile’s following list.

The account included several photos of Grace VanderWaal and other child stars in bikinis alongside articles on masturbation, like his first Pinterest.

Once this account was exposed on the subreddit, he attempted to delete it. He claimed he has never used Pinterest before (despite posting several Pinterest screenshots the night before being exposed) and reported the subreddit.

=== Quora Leak===
''See [[Quora]]''

Daniel's Quora account, leaked some time after August of 2022 by Flexburger, featured even more admissions of pedophilia from Daniel, with quotes as blatant as:<blockquote>"Why do I have strange thoughts involving children?"

"How do pedophiles pick up a girl?"

"How did your daughter's body react to her first orgasm?"</blockquote>Daniel, despite denying this account was his, accidentally showed him having the Quora app and a Quora account on multiple occasions.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRc8mSqh/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/127uagt/i_thought_he_said_he_doesnt_use_quora/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/111bu6g/daniel_admitting_his_quora_was_hacked/</ref>

===Real Interaction===
Daniel used to live in a home with a family that had two children, one of them being named [[Breanna]]. The son of the two children recorded a highly disturbing video of Daniel Larson pouncing on and trying to kiss Breanna,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12tkn0s/_/</ref>[Extreme content warning] his sister. Daniel admitted to masturbating in front of Breanna and her brother in the "Columbia Records" Discord,<ref>https://reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/17w5mc6/im_100_convinced_daniel_molested_brianna/</ref> admitted to touching her chest,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12y2xrb/_/</ref> and later making extremely graphic comments about Breanna, such as calling her an "upcoming pornstar."

===Sting Operations ===
Given Daniel's infamy on the internet as a lolcow and a horrorcow. Various trolls would approach him with the intent of trolling him, only to be met with his disturbing behavior. Several trolls impersonated 14-year-old actor Issy Simpson in order to catfish Daniel Larson on Kik, a messaging app. Daniel's conversations with the sting are highly disturbing, featuring Daniel asking extremely disgusting and sexual questions about minors. Several instances showcasing Daniel's pedophilic behavior have been leaked to Reddit. Many of them are cited above, below are three others that were not mentioned. All are compilations of leaked direct messages between Daniel and trolls.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/158wihg/the_big_gangsta_clique_has_hacked_grace July 25th Leak]

=== Admissions ===
On January 16, 2023, Daniel went live after talking with a fake Grace VanderWaal who had convinced him to admit to both being a pedophile, and to having struck [[Bob Proctor]] on multiple occasions. User [https://www.reddit.com/user/Zealousideal-Hand-2 Zealousideal-Hand-2] on [[r/Daniellarson]] claimed to have been at least one of the "Graces" involved in extracting this admission.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10dzmlg/boys_im_glad_to_have_helped/</ref>

{{#evt:service=archiveorg|id=daniel-larsons-admission-jan-16th-incident-daniel-larson-incidents}}

On July 28, 2023, Daniel posted a video to his Youtube account after being "told by the FBI" to admit to his pedophilic action. Daniel admitted to sending nude pictures to minors, masturbating in public spaces, and shoving a water bottle into his rectum.

{{#evt:

}}

On October 8, 2023, Daniel admits to saving nude pictures of a child onto his phone and keeping it for an extended period of time. these were supposedly sent to him by an unknown troll pretending to be Grace Vanderwaal as "video verification".

service=archiveorg
|id=daniel-larson-admission
}}Daniel has admitted to, or has been manipulated into admitting that he is a pedophile in the past and present on multiple occasions, the video above being what is believed to be the first 'admission' ''(keep in mind that Daniel has been possibly manipulated into his admissions)''. Here are some quotes from some of his various admissions:<blockquote>"I admit... that I am a pedophile..." "...the reason being... is that I... growing up I didn't have anybody that, really, cared about me and I didn't have anybody that supported me."<ref>https://archive.org/details/daniel-larson-admission</ref>

"In the past, I used to... uhm... use pictures of girls, uhm, and uhm, masturbate to them. Unfortunately, that was over, uhh... that was a long time ago, to be honest... and I am no longer that person, and I reached out for help and uhm, and, it just so happened that, since I gained popularity on the media, uhm, people found out about my past."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If7Qs7k_L04</ref>

"I am sorry, Dave, for looking up CP and for looking up kids wetting the bed... I am so fucking sorry."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12lj1em/daniel_didnt_even_know_what_cp_meant_when_he_was/</ref>

"I am sorry for having 500 megabytes of child p*rn [''whispering'']"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fjy7b/megabytes/</ref>

"I repent! That I am sorry for... masturbating to, pictures of children and Grace. I am sorry!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/x3qcrz/daniel_repents/</ref></blockquote>While there is the possibility of manipulation, it is only a suspicion rather than an actual fact.

'''Plot armor''' is a term used in fiction to describe the overly convenient invulnerability of a character, usually [[Daniel Larson|the protagonist]], that is needed for a [[Chronology|story]] to continue.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/plot-armor</ref>

With Daniel, the term refers to his unreasonable immunity from the consequences of his actions. Prior to his [[Second Jail Arc#The Arrest|2024 arrest]] and subsequent incarceration on [[Second Jail Arc#The Charges|seven charges]] of making threats against [[August 29th Meltdown|government sites]] and [[Daniel MacDougall|officials]] in his numerous [[meltdowns]], Daniel had seemingly avoided any serious or long-lasting consequences for his misdeeds and crimes, such as [[December 10th Incident|assaulting]] [[Bob Proctor|his elderly mentor]] and [[Elisabeth Shimer|disabled mother]], [[Dine and Dashing|defrauding multiple businesses]], [[Red Robin Incident|indecently exposing himself in public spaces]], and his [[Colorado Mills Mall Incident|numerous]] [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|instances of]] [[Porch Charging Incident|trespassing]].

Time and time again, the [[R/Daniellarson|Larsonian community]] had watched Daniel incriminate himself multiple times by filming his wrongdoings and posting or streaming them online for all the world to see; the most that would happen would Daniel being [[Jail Arc|held in jail for, at most, a few weeks]], or simply being given a [[Olive Garden Incident|slap-on-the-wrist]]. This became one of the more infamous parts of Daniel's presence, both in real life and online, as Daniel seemed, for a substantial stretch of time, to be above the law, or at least immune to it's more concrete punishments.

Daniel's plot armor seemed to break for good when he was arrested on 30 April 2024, 24 days after [[April 6th Incident|his most intense and infamous meltdown to date]] in Larstory; he has been incarcerated ever since, and seems to be at serious risk of being institutionalized for the rest of his life ([[Second Jail Arc#Plea Agreement|plea deals]] notwithstanding).

== Examples ==
*[[December 10th Incident]] - Daniel assaulted Bob, but despite this, he never actually faced any repercussions and would eventually go on to travel America.
*[[Olive Garden Incident]] - Despite pulling a false fire alarm at an establishment, he was only given a trespass notice by the police. The same thing would occur the following day at an IHOP.
*[[Panera Bread Incident]] - Daniel had a massive meltdown at a Panera Bread restaurant, giving death threats to the employees and patrons and self-harming himself till he bled. Despite this, he was not arrested, though according to Daniel, he was allegedly banned from the establishment.
*[[Pedophilia]] - Daniel has admitted several times to being a pedophile, and has even admitted to doing things like saving pictures of nude children and saying sexually explicit things to minors (real or otherwise). He has never been charged for any of this.
*[[Breanna]] - Daniel has stated he allegedly masturbated in front of Breanna, who was a child at the time, and a video exists where he pushes her down on a bed (though whether or not he had any awful intentions, or was merely just play-fighting with her, is unknown). Nothing law-wise has come out of this, though Daniel once mentioned an alleged legal investigation regarding the Breanna situation.
*[[October 16th Incident]] - Daniel was kicked out of housing due to him having a breakdown and damaging Miss P's house, resulting in him becoming homeless. He was issued an $1,000 citation and trespassed from the property, but was otherwise let out onto the streets without further repercussions.
*[[Folsom Field Arrest]] - During the [[College Arc]] where he "enrolled" into the University of Colorado Boulder, Daniel was contacted by a troll masquerading as Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders. The troll coaxed him into trespassing by claiming he would be at the football facility for some sort of speech, as well as antagonizing him by bringing up his racism and claiming [[Grace VanderWaal]] called him a "pussy". Daniel would then go to the facility while livestreaming, and was denied access; he reportedly then had a meltdown and struck a security guard, resulting him being arrested for third-degree assault. However, after spending two days in jail, he was then released.

{{Infobox|image=TravisAurora.png|imageDesc=Travis, and Daniels half-sister, Aurora|name=James Travis Larson|Alignment=Daniel Larson's father|DOB=September, 1978 (Age 45)|Nationality=American|Race=White|Gender=Male|Arcs=Before Era}}
'''James “Travis” Larson''' is the father of [[Daniel Larson]], [[Family|Joyetta Larson, Olivia Larson, and Aurora Larson]], ex-lover of [[Elisabeth Shimer]], ex-son-in-law of [[Nancy Shimer]], and the husband of [[Family|Paige Larson]].

Not much is known about Travis' involvement in Daniel's life, making him the most unpopular out of his parents. However, based on the interview with him, it can be assumed that the relationship between the two deteriorated long before he was an adult. This can also be said for his relationship with Daniel's mother, Elisabeth, as well.

Just like Elisabeth, there are also extremely tenuous claims of Travis abusing Daniel, with Daniel even claiming that Travis made him smoke cigars at a young age.<ref>[[November 6th Arrest]]</ref> Though, like many of Daniel's other claims, this should be taken with a grain of salt due to him being an unreliable narrator. Suffice to say, Travis officially distanced himself from Daniel and his mother long ago, wishing to be left alone.

After leaving his first family, Travis started up another with a woman named Paige, giving birth to Daniel's half-sister, [[Family|Aurora Larson]].

As of 2025, Travis has no contact with Daniel and advises anyone who comes across him to call the police and report him.

== Biography ==
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Travis is not confirmed to have physically abused Daniel, or mistreated him during his childhood. Their relationship is noted to have deteriorated before Daniel was even a teenager, and he is noted as not wanting to deal with Daniel due to his violent behavior. }}

Travis Larson was born in September 1978 in Lancaster, California to parents James Ted Larson (April 22, 1930 – July 13, 2009) and Joan Beverly Lloyd (May 23, 1937 – April 30, 2013), who got married on September 28, 1963, in Nevada.<ref>https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/find/person/p46un0r808nlunl2u4uu</ref><ref>https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GPSG-RJJ</ref> He currently still lives in Lancaster, where his son Daniel would be born. Just like [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth]], it is speculated that Travis suffers from some sort of mental and/or physical disability that passed onto Daniel. This has not been confirmed and is mostly speculative.

It is rumored that both his mom and Travis were extremely abusive to Daniel, which eventually led to Daniel being [[Tennyson Center|taken away by social services]]. Daniel, at one time, even claimed that his father made him smoke cigars as punishment, and even worse, beat him with belts for "15 years." These claims cannot be substantiated, and it should be noted that Travis left Daniel's life well before he was taken away by social services.[[File:TravisFamily.jpg|thumb|What a happy family. ]]
In 2010, Travis separated from Elisabeth. According to posts made on Elisabeth's Facebook account, it can be inferred that his reason for leaving Elisabeth had to do with him not being able to put up with Daniel's behavioral issues and seeing Daniel as a lost cause. Additionally, in a leaked text message to Daniel, Travis states, "I am not your grandma. I will not lie to you or except bull crap. I tell you the way it is,"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/15bj3re/i_dont_think_anyone_has_seen_these_texts/</ref> which reaffirms claims of Daniel's grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer|Nancy]], enabling his problematic behavior.

Due to this combination of Daniel's behavioral issues, and no longer being compatible with Elisabeth, Travis and her split sometime around the early parts of 2010, coinciding with Daniel eventually being rehoused into the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center.]] It appears him and Elisabeth were never married, evidenced by a Facebook post Elisabeth made where she refers to him as a "boyfriend" opposed to a husband. Some years later, Travis married a woman named Paige Larson. Paige and Travis would go on to conceive Daniel's half-sister, [[Family#Aurora Larson|Aurora]].

In April 2023, Daniel was asked during a Q&A about his parents, including if they were drug users. Daniel claimed that Travis was a heavy cigarette smoker.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1299v75/daniel_larson_addressing_his_relationship_with/</ref>

== Relationships ==
[[File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png|thumb|Elisabeth's Facebook post regarding Travis. ]]
=== Elisabeth ===
Main article: [[Elisabeth Shimer]]

It is not unreasonable to say that Elisabeth and Travis's relationship was, to say the least, not the best. In a Facebook post, Elisabeth describes Travis as, "a person whom is so obsessed in sex that he can't even care about other people's feelings,". While the validity of this is questionable, this is somewhat substantiated by how many children Travis and Elisabeth had. Even given Joyetta and Olivia's deaths, it still calls in question how much intercourse they were having to a point where Elisabeth was pregnant with twins.

In the wake of Daniel's behavioral and mental health issues (and him being relocated to the Tennyson Center), Travis decided to cut his losses and leave the mother of his child, telling Elisabeth to stay away from Daniel, as in her words, he would "[[Second Jail Arc|never get better]]".

Given that both Elisabeth and Travis have remarried, it can be inferred that they've since moved on from each other.

=== Daniel ===
''Main Article: [[Daniel Larson]]''

Daniel and his father's relationship is strained, to say the least. Realizing (correctly) that Daniel will never get better, he left both him and Elisabeth and has since disowned Daniel. He remarried and has at least one daughter from his marriage.

In an interview conducted by LarsonLeak, his father says that he is aware of the allegations of [[pedophilia]] against him. Additionally, he states that Daniel has gotten in physical altercations with less than 10 care providers and people close to him. In a text sent to Daniel, Travis notes that he will not lie and enable Daniel's behavior like his grandmother had done in the past. Unlike Elisabeth, he insists on reporting Daniel to the police if people were to ever come in contact with him.

=== Nancy ===
''Main Article: [[Nancy Shimer]]''

It can be assumed that Travis and Nancy have a less than positive relationship. In the [[Spiddlekick Interview]], Daniel notes that Travis called his grandmother, "a bitch", due to her gaining custody of Daniel after he was removed from his mother's care. Though, outside of this, not much else is known.

==Interview==
In November 2022, [[larsonleak|LarsonLeak]], a YouTube channel dedicated to leaking information about Daniel, uploaded a video where he briefly interviews Travis, though he gets angry and hangs up on him, which is understandable.{{#evt:

}} {{Quote|I'm on the bus now to Boulder Colorado||author=[[Daniel]]'s last Community Tab post before his arrest}}[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Why the long face? ]]

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and taken into custody at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was taken shortly after.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year at the time. These claims were later backed by documents that revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later; however, there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communications have been strictly through letters, although it appears that all communications have ceased. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma, where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to MCFP Springfield for further mental health evaluation. Daniel has undergone several competency restoration and mental health evaluation processes since his incarceration at MCFP Springfield, and has remained there ever since. The most recent one concluded in November 2025, with Daniel's next appearance in court set to be an evidentiary hearing scheduled for January 2026. Whether or not Daniel will remain institutionalized or be free to roam the streets once more afterwards is uncertain.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc is the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right on the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary for Daniel's arrest.

On April 25, 2024, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27, 2024,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on all of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder. However, the next morning, he posted on TikTok that he was on his way to the probation meeting, which would be his last social media post before his arrest.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of making threats appeared to escalate in the months leading up to his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly building a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that previously helped house Daniel. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. The case also included threats to Colorado University and an unspecified state government building.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb a courthouse. This was the threat that started the investigation.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had come to his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having had contact with the Secret Service agent who got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, regarding an alleged altercation Daniel was involved in while in custody. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by Bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call was made between Clark and Daniel.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" and one count of "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add an additional five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based on all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate the fines that Daniel may face, as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==
See also: [[Jail Communications]]{{SpecialMessage|Message=Some scans of court documents may be in low quality. Help us out by getting higher quality/clearer scans.}}[[File:JaredPublicDefender.png|left|thumb|Daniel's public defender, Jared Westbroek. |274x274px]]

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so; therefore, he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie and that everything he had done up to that point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel, after being convinced to do so despite an earlier decision to cut all contact. Daniel reached out in hopes of fixing their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he had many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, just before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed how Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, had introduced motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before, was denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel in a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to be released from jail, which has not yet happened.

As of June 29, 2024, this motion remains unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set for July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that "nothing was accomplished" following the conclusion of the hearing.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also addresses Daniel's request for release. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all that had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel was filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for a period of no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order. According to Daniel around this time, he was in the specialized housing unit (SHU).

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024; however, this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had discussed in their last call, amplified by delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniel's attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in prison for longer than he needed to be. The reason for this is that, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield, Missouri, that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's prison said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed, resulting in Daniel's release. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy prison communications ===
In additional correspondence from prison to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from prison. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed that this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniel's record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> Four days later, Daniel was found not to be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024, and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center and was being held on a 23-hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney who has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to restrict certain dockets from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025. It was revealed that this was a 120-day extension request, which was granted.

=== Summer 2025 & Extended Competency Restoration ===
May to August 2025 was another competency restoration period for Daniel. Daniel and his legal counsel had documents from those months restricted from public access, though during the period Daniel sent letters from prison to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> On August 22, 2025, another 120-day evaluation extension request was made and granted.

=== September 18 Hearing & Independent Evaluation ===
On September 8, 2025, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez scheduled a court hearing for September 18, 2025, with Daniel to appear virtually, and his attorney to appear in person. The psychiatric report from August 22, 2025, stated that Daniel remained incompetent to stand trial after three assessments. The purpose of the upcoming hearing is to determine the next steps for Daniel. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nclpqs/daniels_first_hearing_in_16_months/</ref> This is Daniel's first court hearing since May 1, 2024.

The hearing took place on September 18, 2025, and the court placed the case on hold for an independent competency evaluation. Once that is completed, the court will determine whether to do another round of restoration or pursue civil commitment. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nknlpe/update_from_daniels_hearing_today/</ref> The evaluation ended in early November, and in December, his attorney objected to his continued incarceration. An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for January 9, 2026, but Daniel requested it be postponed to later in the month. <ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/80/united-states-v-larson/</ref>

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and taken into custody at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was taken shortly after.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year at the time. These claims were later backed by documents that revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later; however, there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communications have been strictly through letters, although it appears that all communications have ceased. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma, where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to MCFP Springfield for further mental health evaluation. Daniel has undergone several competency restoration and mental health evaluation processes since his incarceration at MCFP Springfield, and has remained there ever since. The most recent one concluded in November 2025, with Daniel's next appearance in court set to be an evidentiary hearing scheduled for January 2026. Whether or not Daniel will remain institutionalized or be free to roam the streets once more afterwards is uncertain.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc is the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right on the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary for Daniel's arrest.

On April 25, 2024, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27, 2024,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on all of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder. However, the next morning, he posted on TikTok that he was on his way to the probation meeting, which would be his last social media post before his arrest.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of making threats appeared to escalate in the months leading up to his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly building a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that previously helped house Daniel. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. The case also included threats to Colorado University and an unspecified state government building.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb a courthouse. This was the threat that started the investigation.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had come to his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having had contact with the Secret Service agent who got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, regarding an alleged altercation Daniel was involved in while in custody. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by Bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call was made between Clark and Daniel.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" and one count of "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add an additional five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based on all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate the fines that Daniel may face, as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==
See also: [[Jail Communications]]{{SpecialMessage|Message=Some scans of court documents may be in low quality. Help us out by getting higher quality/clearer scans.}}[[File:JaredPublicDefender.png|left|thumb|Daniel's public defender, Jared Westbroek. |274x274px]]

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so; therefore, he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie and that everything he had done up to that point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel, after being convinced to do so despite an earlier decision to cut all contact. Daniel reached out in hopes of fixing their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he had many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, just before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed how Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, had introduced motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before, was denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel in a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to be released from jail, which has not yet happened.

As of June 29, 2024, this motion remains unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set for July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that "nothing was accomplished" following the conclusion of the hearing.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also addresses Daniel's request for release. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all that had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel was filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for a period of no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order. According to Daniel around this time, he was in the specialized housing unit (SHU).

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024; however, this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had discussed in their last call, amplified by delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniel's attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in prison for longer than he needed to be. The reason for this is that, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield, Missouri, that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's prison said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed, resulting in Daniel's release. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy prison communications ===
In additional correspondence from prison to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from prison. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed that this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniel's record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> Four days later, Daniel was found not to be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024, and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center and was being held on a 23-hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney who has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to restrict certain dockets from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025. It was revealed that this was a 120-day extension request, which was granted.

=== Summer 2025 & Extended Competency Restoration ===
May to August 2025 was another competency restoration period for Daniel. Daniel and his legal counsel, had documents from those months restricted from public access, though during that time sent letters from prison to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> On August 22, 2025, another 120-day evaluation extension request was made and granted.

=== September 18 Hearing & Independent Evaluation ===
On September 8, 2025, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez scheduled a court hearing for September 18, 2025, with Daniel to appear virtually, and his attorney to appear in person. The psychiatric report from August 22, 2025, stated that Daniel remained incompetent to stand trial after three assessments. The purpose of the upcoming hearing is to determine the next steps for Daniel. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nclpqs/daniels_first_hearing_in_16_months/</ref> This is Daniel's first court hearing since May 1, 2024.

The hearing took place on September 18, 2025, and the court placed the case on hold for an independent competency evaluation. Once that is completed, the court will determine whether to do another round of restoration or pursue civil commitment. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nknlpe/update_from_daniels_hearing_today/</ref> The evaluation ended in early November, and in December, his attorney objected to his continued incarceration. An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for January 9, 2026, but Daniel requested it be postponed to later in the month. <ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/80/united-states-v-larson/</ref>

}} {{Quote|I'm on the bus now to Boulder Colorado||author=[[Daniel]]'s last Community Tab post before his arrest}}[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Why the long face? ]]

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and taken into custody at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was taken shortly after.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year at the time. These claims were later backed by documents that revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later; however, there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communications have been strictly through letters, although it appears that all communications have ceased. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma, where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to MCFP Springfield for further mental health evaluation. Daniel has undergone several competency restoration and mental health evaluation processes since his incarceration at MCFP Springfield, and has remained there ever since. The most recent one concluded in November 2025, with Daniel's next appearance in court set to be an evidentiary hearing scheduled for January 2026. Whether or not Daniel will remain institutionalized or be free to roam the streets once more afterwards is uncertain.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc is the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right on the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary for Daniel's arrest.

On April 25, 2024, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27, 2024,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on all of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder. However, the next morning, he posted on TikTok that he was on his way to the probation meeting, which would be his last social media post before his arrest.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of making threats appeared to escalate in the months leading up to his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly building a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that previously helped house Daniel. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs. The case also included threats to Colorado University and an unspecified state government building.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb a courthouse. This was the threat that started the investigation.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had come to his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having had contact with the Secret Service agent who got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, regarding an alleged altercation Daniel was involved in while in custody. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by Bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call was made between Clark and Daniel.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive" and one count of "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add an additional five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based on all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate the fines that Daniel may face, as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==
See also: [[Jail Communications]]{{SpecialMessage|Message=Some scans of court documents may be in low quality. Help us out by getting higher quality/clearer scans.}}[[File:JaredPublicDefender.png|left|thumb|Daniel's public defender, Jared Westbroek. |274x274px]]

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so; therefore, he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie and that everything he had done up to that point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel, after being convinced to do so despite an earlier decision to cut all contact. Daniel reached out in hopes of fixing their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he had many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, just before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed how Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, had introduced motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before, was denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel in a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to be released from jail, which has not yet happened.

As of June 29, 2024, this motion remains unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set for July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that "nothing was accomplished" following the conclusion of the hearing.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also addresses Daniel's request for release. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all that had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel was filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for a period of no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order. According to Daniel around this time, he was in the specialized housing unit (SHU).

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024; however, this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had discussed in their last call, amplified by delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniel's attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in prison for longer than he needed to be. The reason for this is that, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield, Missouri, that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's prison said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed, resulting in Daniel's release. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy prison communications ===
In additional correspondence from prison to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from prison. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed that this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniel's record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> Four days later, Daniel was found not to be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024, and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center and was being held on a 23-hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney who has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to restrict certain dockets from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025. It was revealed that this was a 120-day extension request, which was granted.

=== Summer Lull & Extended Competency Restoration ===
Throughout May to August 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Because documents from April and early May 2025 have been restricted from public access by Daniel and his legal counsel, critical information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or confirmation of claims regarding his current status. However, he has been sending letters from prison to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> On August 22, 2025, another 120-day evaluation extension request was made and granted.

=== September 18 Hearing & Independent Evaluation ===
On September 8, 2025, Judge Regina M. Rodriguez scheduled a court hearing for September 18, 2025, with Daniel to appear virtually, and his attorney to appear in person. The psychiatric report from August 22, 2025, stated that Daniel remained incompetent to stand trial after three assessments. The purpose of the upcoming hearing is to determine the next steps for Daniel. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nclpqs/daniels_first_hearing_in_16_months/</ref> This is Daniel's first court hearing since May 1, 2024.

The hearing took place on September 18, 2025, and the court placed the case on hold for an independent competency evaluation. Once that is completed, the court will determine whether to do another round of restoration or pursue civil commitment. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1nknlpe/update_from_daniels_hearing_today/</ref> The evaluation ended in early November, and in December, his attorney objected to his continued incarceration. An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for January 9, 2026, but Daniel requested it be postponed to later in the month. <ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/80/united-states-v-larson/</ref>

'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan,'''" is a 27-year-old [[Daniel and Mental Health|mentally ill]] internet personality and convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]] who claims to be a [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]], celebrity, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], and [[Presidential Campaigns|President of the United States]]. He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person.

In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy.

Daniel considers himself a celebrity, specifically, a [[Music Career|world-famous musician]] that billions of people know, despite spending the majority of his adult life as a [[Homeless Era|homeless vagrant.]] Despite this, Daniel managed to produce three studio-recorded songs; [[Roaring Thunder|"Roaring Thunder,"]] [[Something More|"Something More"]] and [[Merry Go Round|"Merry Go Round."]] His music is not what Daniel is most known for, as his TikTok's showcasing his disturbing [[Incidents|meltdowns]] garner far more attention.

The primary reason behind his behavior is attributed to the several [[Daniel Larson's health|mental disorders]] he is afflicted with, and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them. As of 2025, Daniel is confirmed to have [[Daniel and Mental Health|autism,]] [[Daniel and Mental Health|bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia]], which adds intense difficulty to his daily life.

Daniel's content is hosted on his many [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok and YouTube accounts]]. Many of these accounts have been banned over the years with the reasons for his bans varying greatly. In one notable instance, Daniel was banned from TikTok for [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]]. Other reasons for his bans range from him admitting to [[pedophilia]], use of [[Daniel and Race|racial slurs]], and [[College Arc|assaults]] on [[Self Harm|himself]] and [[December 10th Incident|others]], including his [[Bob Proctor|elderly mentor]], Bob Proctor. As well as [[Pink room|destruction of both public and private property]].

From 2021 onwards, Daniel faced many significant life-altering setbacks. He moved from house to house before becoming [[Homeless Era|homeless]], contracted [[scabies]], [[August 29st Meltdown|threatened to end the life]] of [[Grace VanderWaal]], [[Dog Arc|adopted a dog]] and had it taken away, [[Bodega Incident|assaulted a bodega employee]], attempted to enroll in [[College Arc|college]] [[UCLA Arc|'''twice''']], pulled a fire alarm at an [[Olive Garden Incident|Olive Garden]], [[Daniel and the Law|faced arrest on multiple occasions]], and became significantly more mentally ill than when he first started posted online. However, in 2024, Daniel's life came to a turning point when he was [[Second Jail Arc|arrested]] by the FBI for the numerous threats he made online during meltdowns.

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day.

As of current, Daniel is [[Second Jail Arc|incarcerated]] at the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]] near Springfield, Missouri, having been transferred there in December 2024. Daniel has undergone several mental health evaluations since then, with his most recent one having concluded in November 2025. Daniel is set to have an evidentiary hearing in January 2026 to determine the status of his continued incarceration; despite that, Daniel is unlikely to be walking free any time soon.
==Before Era==

=== Childhood and Adolescence ===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Daniel has never been officially confirmed to have been abused as a child, much less sexually. News articles, videos, and posts often state that he has been, often citing Daniel himself, who is known to be an unreliable narrator. On the other hand, it is very likely that Daniel himself was the abuser. While it is highly likely Daniel may have suffered abuse, please take any claims made by him with a grain of salt until further confirmation.}}
[[File:Youngdaniel.png|left|thumb|254x254px|Daniel, at five months old.]][[File:GoofyAhhDanderson.png|thumb|Notice how he has all of his teeth. |262x262px]]

Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998, in [[wikipedia:Lancaster,_California|Lancaster, California,]] to parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]]. His parents were fairly young at the time of his birth; his mother was aged 22, and his father was only 20. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "obsessed with [[Daniel and Sex|sex]]"; however, this claim is difficult to verify.<ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref>

In 2001, Daniel's mother gave birth to his late siblings, [[Family#Joyetta and Olivia Larson|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would sadly pass away the same day due to blood type incompatibility between the girls and their mother.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>

Observing Daniel’s facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, it has been speculated that Daniel may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> This cannot be proven, and furthermore, it is way more likely that [[Daniel and health|genetic disorders]] from Daniel's parents passed onto him. It is unknown if this is truly the case, though.

When Daniel was a toddler, he was said to have been playmates with his neighbor's [[Dog Arc|dog]]. In a video he posted to TikTok, Daniel described himself as an “animal murderer,” talking about how the dog impaled itself on a spiked fence while the two were playing.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel was obviously not the one who killed the animal, this can be thought of as a starting point for his violent tendencies, which would only worsen as he matured.

Following his parents' breakup in 2010, Daniel moved to Colorado with his mother. According to accounts from Daniel's mother, Travis supposedly saw his son as a “lost cause," believing that his son would never improve or achieve anything significant in life.<ref>[[Elisabeth Shimer]]</ref> The decision to move was also influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj419qs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> Better physical care would also greatly benefit Daniel's mother, who became wheelchair-bound as a result of a decades-long battle with Lupus, a disease she suffered with since age 20. {{Quote|I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services. He doesn't just have autism he has severe bi polar and shizophrenic. He has beaten me and my mom... he has lied and has fantasies about so many things.

According to his mother, Daniel displayed severe signs of violent behavior at a young age, and at some point was professionally diagnosed with [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental disorders]] such as autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.<ref name=":4">[[:File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png|File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png]]</ref> This may be because his mother and father are likely mentally challenged to some extent, and those diseases passed onto their son. This is plausible, given how hereditary autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are. It is unknown what conditions they suffer from.{{collapse top|result=More of Young Daniel}}

Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and alleged [[Pedophilia#Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse|sexual abuse]]. If true, this mistreatment may have left him with childhood trauma which aggravated his already chaotic behavior, and even worse, contributed to his later [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]]. A health and/or social worker who claimed to have worked with Daniel claimed that he had a, "...history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)." What this means is unclear. It has not been confirmed if this person actually helped Daniel, leaving its validity questionable.<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref>
{{Quote|I worked with this person when he was a child/teen in a severe treatment center in Denver.... he's had a horrible upbringing and does suffer from multiple behavior and personality issues. This is a man with deep rooted mental health problems! It's very sad and I hope that the dog and himself finds help. There's a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him) as well. How he acts ISNT A GAME or him faking.... It's truly how his brain thinks and it's severely debilitated! Very sad story to see this from working with him as a teen....}}At around age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to alleged neglect he was facing. Given the state's actions, it is likely that Daniel was truthful regarding his later claims of neglect. Additionally, a later [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report]] reaffirms this.

Daniel's mother has alleged that [[Nancy Shimer|Nancy]] spread lies about her abusing/neglecting her son for unknown reasons.<ref name=":4" /> Instead, it is way more likely that Daniel was taken away from her as a result of her being paralyzed, which made it harder for Elisabeth to care for Daniel. This is what may have caused claims of Daniel being neglected. Due to her disability, Elisabeth would go into assisted living in 2015.

According to [[Flexburger]], a future manager of Daniel:

{{Quote|Daniel moved to Hugo, Colorado with his mom after she split with Travis. She couldn’t take care of him anymore because she was paralyzed. And Daniel was an asshole. I asked him about her getting paralyzed. He told me she was stuck on the kitchen floor for a couple months straight by herself and couldn’t get up. I knew that was a lie so I asked “so she shit and pissed herself on the floor for a couple months straight?” to with daniel responded “yes”.|Flexburger|author=Flexburger}}

Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes in the years following the state's intervention.<ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> One of the homes he would end up staying in was the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]], an assisted living facility for schooling, rehabilitating, and assisting children with intellectual disabilities, as well as youth who faced neglect, abuse, and other mistreatment. At this school, he met his mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], via a reading buddy program;<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> the two would remain close even after the program concluded.

Eventually, Daniel's grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], was eventually granted legal guardianship of him following a long custody battle.

Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits. When Daniel was a toddler, Nancy was said to have rewarded him with M&M's after he had drawn on the walls of her home.{{Citation Needed}} Because of this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis tried to gain custody of their son, believing that Nancy would not raise their son correctly. However, despite their collective efforts, they both ultimately failed; when Travis filed for custody of Daniel, Nancy opposed it, claiming that Daniel "didn't even know his father," raising serious doubts and questions about their relationship. Due to the hostile accusations hurled during the custody disputes, Travis grew to despise Nancy, allegedly calling her a "bitch," and claiming that the only reason she had custody of Daniel was due to her greater financial situation.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Unlike Travis, Elisabeth was eventually given visitation rights to see Daniel once more.

Daniel even made it on the news around this time, being [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|featured on local Denver news station KWGN]]. The clip documented his time at the [[Tennyson Center]], in which he lived for over a year prior to Nancy gaining custody of him, where he was now continuing to receive schooling at.

[[File:SobeskyDan4.png|thumb|434x434px|Our beloved Danny boy. ]]

Throughout his childhood, Daniel was almost exclusively referred as "Danny." He was even called this in his high school yearbook and in the aforementioned news report. According to his classmates, Daniel was a very violent person, even in class. One of his classmates refers to a time in which Daniel threw a chair at a window, which resulted in a light fixture being knocked down.<ref>[[Canned Legs Leaks]]</ref>
{{Quote|i also remember he threw a chair at the window in the computer lab that overlooked the library and knocked down one of the light fixtures. but yeah that sums it up lol}}
According to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallways in an attempt to evade staff. Due to his troubled behavior, Daniel was assigned a guardian who followed him throughout the entire school day.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> When questioned about this, Daniel asserted that him having a guardian was not because of him being untrustworthy, but because of him having a close friendship with his teachers.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref>

Just like his childhood, his time in school was wrought with alleged claims of mistreatment and bullying. Daniel claimed that the Tennyson Center was a, "...very violent place."<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> According to Daniel, the Tennyson Center had a brick room only lit up by a single window, dubbed the 'Timeout Room.' Daniel claims to have been placed in this room on several occasions for behavior such as excessive crying or not cooperating with teachers. Other students would be physically restrained due to violent behavior; however, this seems to have never happened to Daniel.

This is important, especially when taking the less than positive reputation of the Tennyson Center into account. Many past students and attendants of their programs claim to have been abused while attending, which is further corroborated by the Tennyson Centers residential living program (which Daniel attended) eventually shutting down following the death of an 11-year-old boy under the facilities care. There were also several documented instances of sexual misconduct between children, runaways, drug overdoses, and children harming themselves.<ref>https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/23/tennyson-center-residential-program/</ref> It is likely that Daniel may have faced the same mistreatment as other students have claimed, but this is unclear.

When in school, Daniel claimed that children would tease him by calling him '[[wikipedia:Danny_Phantom|Danny Phantom]],' a nickname derived from the fictional character of the same name. According to a classmate, this seemed to have very little effect on him.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> These claims of being bullied only seemed to arise in adulthood.
{{Quote|Contrary to what he may say, people were actually quite respectful towards him. We all knew we had our own issues, and for the most part, nobody meant any harm towards him. Whenever he was called Danny phantom, there was no malicious intent. He didn't even really react to it. I guess that's more something that came after he graduated. But no, not really anybody bullied him. This particular school was quite small, so when I say that, not really, anybody bullied him, I mean, there were about 18 of us in the high school. Even the biggest bully in the school didn't really pay much mind to him. He was just that reserved.}}

During this time, he would participate in several extracurricular activities. According to his [https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-larson-b734b2196/ Linkedin page], Daniel was a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in January of 2012, although there little information regarding this occupation. Sometime in 2014, Daniel started attending and participating in several [[Musical Theater|musical theater programs.]] Daniel is known to have participated in at least eight different musicals, although he rarely got leading roles. His roles in these musicals may have set the groundwork for his desire to be famous.
[[File:Openingschool.png|left|thumb|284x284px|Daniel, at the opening of Sobesky Academy. ]]

In many of the photos from his time in musical theater, Daniel is visibly smaller than almost all of his classmates, only exacerbated by his odd bowl-cut hairstyle. Daniel may suffer from something such as [[wikipedia:Progeria|progeria]], which would explain his physical appearance, though this claim cannot be substantiated.

Daniel began attending [[Sobesky Academy]] in 2016, the same year that it opened. It should be noted that Sobesky, while having a large population of children with special needs, was not exclusively a special needs school. This was due to Sobesky being an [[wikipedia:Alternative_school|alternative school]], which aimed to rehabilitate troubled students and prepare them for reintegrating with their district schools.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> Due to him never being reintegrated, there are questions surrounding the validity of his high school diploma.

There is not much known about Daniel's time in Sobesky, as Daniel seemingly hasn't talked much about his high-school years, as opposed to his time in the Tennyson Center which he seems to hold in higher regard. Though, according to [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|one of his high-school classmates]], Daniel, even in high school, had an escort, which implies that Daniel had violent tendencies all throughout his teenage years.

{{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved. He often times would have an escort, and his escorts would call him Danny... ...post-graduation it was like night and day. He went from robotic to the way he is today. It was a rapid turnaround.}}

Despite his behavior being far less eccentric during his high school years, he was documented to have had occasional outbursts and [[meltdowns]], during some of which he would [[Self Harm|hit himself]]. These meltdowns were sometimes severe enough to result in the school being put under lockdown, referred to as a "close and lock". The reason he is much worse now compared to his time in school could be that Daniel was heavily medicated when he attended Sobesky and Tennyson, whereas nowadays he almost always refuses to take antipsychotics. He was often described as someone who was quiet, a, "...total wallflower," and "...pretty normal."<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref>

[[File:Furries.png|thumb|Could our future president be a furry? ]]

Daniel, despite being [[Intelligence|unable to do basic math,]] to a point where a classmate described him as having academic retention, took Algebra 2.

[[File:Graduation.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Daniel at his high school graduation. ]]
{{Quote|He was 4 years older than me so having classes was rare. The only one I had with him was back in 2017 when I was taking Algebra II.}}

Little is known regarding Daniel's experiences in high school, though he is known to have acted as one of the mascots for his school's softball team, and was said to have been obsessed with [[Music Career|singing]].

During this time, it was a common pastime for Daniel and his grandmother to watch ''[[wikipedia:America's Got Talent|America's Got Talent]]'' together. Sometime when he was around 17, they both caught an episode featuring a young singer named [[Grace VanderWaal]]. It is said that when Daniel was watching it with her, his grandmother remarked that he may sing with her on stage some day. Despite the questionable validity of this statement, Daniel convinced himself, even though at the time [[Pedophilia|Grace was 12, and he was 17 years old]], that he was a part of Grace's life and had a relationship with her. This was the birth of his obsession with her.

Daniel graduated from Sobesky Academy at the age of 18 in 2017, not attending any type of higher education afterwards. The validity of his high school diploma is debated, as he most likely has a Certificate of Completion (COC), opposed to an actual high school degree.

It is most likely that Daniel continued to live with his grandmother after this.

===Adult Chronicles ===
[[File:BroadwayPic.png|left|thumb|Nancy's dog, Broadway.|228x228px]]

Even after graduating, it didn't appear that Daniel's life would get any better. Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested]] on November 6th, 2017, after an incident where he physically assaulted his paralyzed, wheelchair-bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]]. Daniel claimed that this incident was a result of his mother cornering him following what was allegedly an argument, but when looking at his charges, this seems unlikely. Daniel was imprisoned for 44-45 days following the arrest. This incident forever ruined him and his mother's relationship, causing Elisabeth to cut all contact with her son.

2019 appeared to be the year when Daniel lost two of the most important people in his life. On April 11, 2019, Daniel had to put down Broadway, his dog, due to her battle with cancer.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI7cPMlZtQ/</ref>
{{Quote|Had to put her down today. She had cancer. She was my baby. She was in 2 live performances. Can you wish her luck and good times. She was a fighter and would fight through anything. Her name was Broadway.}}
Even more devastatingly, on July 24, 2019, Nancy Shimer, Daniel's grandmother, arguably the most important person in his life, passed away at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer, when Daniel was 21.
[[File:DanielThriftStore.png|thumb|“A nother day at work.”|300x300px]]
It is likely that Daniel was still living with his grandmother before her passing. On the day she died, Daniel was attending a Special Olympics event, during which he was informed of his grandmother being on her deathbed. Instead of going to comfort her at the hospice center, Daniel chose to stay at the event to prove that he was a 'fighter.' This incident, though seemingly minor, reflects the profound lack of respect Daniel had for his grandmother, as he could not even be bothered to be with her as she passed away.
[[File:Daniel21birthday.png|left|thumb|217x217px|Daniel, drinking a margarita on his 21st birthday.]]
Following the death of his grandmother, Daniel was sent to a state-run group home program for the disabled, as even at the age of 20, Daniel was still unable to take care of himself. This housing program gave him a job at a thrift store sometime in 2019. At this job, Daniel was said to have lost all of his money after falling victim to a gift card scam, which left his employment short-lived.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3gtox/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> This can be used as an example of Daniel being trolled, even before social media.

Sometime in 2019, Daniel joined TikTok and began posting, albeit very infrequently, on his account [[@daniellars20]].. He was also using other social media sites, such as Twitter (now X) and Instagram. It is unknown how he obtained a phone, but it is likely it was bought with the income from his job at the thrift store. His first known Twitter account was [[@DanielL26324766]], on which he posted about his time in the Special Olympics, and videos of himself hiking.

Daniel, opposed to what he would become later in his life, seemed to be significantly more physically fit during this time. He often posted the amount of steps he had attained on his Fitbit from these hikes. Daniel's 21st birthday also fell in 2019. On his Twitter account, he posted his excitement at being able to go to casinos and being able to legally drink. At his birthday dinner, Daniel drank a margarita.<ref>https://x.com/daniel__larson/status/1195519647967334401?s=46</ref>

In February of 2020, Daniel became convinced that he was a fashion model. He applied to a talent agency called [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency]], and starred in one of their fashion shows.

From 2019 to early 2020, Daniel's life would be relatively peaceful, him unknowing of the things to come.

== Classic Era ==
{{main|Classic Era}}
[[File:D9F97C6D-7448-4BFB-8602-C7FE38903361.jpg|thumb|A cropped meme of the May 6th incident.]]

The Classic Era began in March 2020 with the creation of Daniel's notable TikTok account, @daniellarsonfans. His content ranged from showcasing his disability housing to expressing his aspirations to be a singer-songwriter and celebrity. Though, it would be his unorthodox appearance and strange mannerisms that would truly gain him notoriety.

One of his popular videos during this time was one where he said "good night, everyone," to the camera, marking a significant rise in his popularity. In July, he announced his 2020 presidential candidacy, gaining ironic support. Because of this, followers of his would begin to call him "Mr. President" ironically. By August, trolls under the guise of entertainment [[management]] companies and record labels began exploiting his desire for fame, manipulating him into saying and doing increasingly offensive and questionable things. Despite this, Daniel continued to amass followers, and released his first song, "[[Fake News]]," in October.

As the next month rolled around, Daniel's reputation took a significant nosedive. In November, Daniel's [[Pinterest]] account was found and subsequently had its contents exposed. The account contained albums of images of children and a map of the age of consent in the United States, strongly suggesting that Daniel had a sexual interest in young girls. Daniel immediately attempted damage control, claiming that the account was not his, even suggesting he had no idea what Pinterest was. These arguments were quickly deconstructed, as the account's email was linked to an old Twitter account of his.

Daniel would eventually admit ownership of the account, before immediately returning to denying its existence, just before admitting to owning it once more. He was confronted by multiple parties about the account, including his then-management, [[Roach Records]]. Subsequently, Daniel would delete his Pinterest account by November 21, locking down his TikTok account until December.

Upon returning, he was interviewed by [[The Delegation Podcast]], who asked him several questions about the legitimacy of the Pinterest account. After this, they proceeded to report Daniel to the FBI, as they were under the belief that Daniel was in possession of exploitative images of children.

On December 17, 2020, Daniel made his final post, claiming to be auditioning for America's Got Talent, asking his followers to "please stay turned," Despite this, he did not post again after this. It was later revealed that this disappearance was due to him being reported to FBI, as he was under investigation due to him being suspected to be in the possession of CSAM.

=== Headset Arc ===
{{main|Headset Arc}}

After returning to social media in March 2021, Daniel explained that his disappearance was due to him being investigated by the FBI, and that he was "safe" now. Evident from the name of this arc, Daniel is seen wearing a [[Headset Arc|gaming headset]] in many of the videos from this time.

During this time, Daniel would begin to be managed by [[Flexburger]], who at this point operated as "Josh," an employee of the fake record label [[Party House Records]]. He hadn't forgotten about the allegations of pedophilia against him, and sought to expose Daniel once more for who he really was. Flexburger posted several screenshots of Daniel talking sexually to individuals he believed to be minors, as well as footage of Daniel discussing how he would legalize child molestation if he were president. As a result, Daniel declared war on Flexburger, upset that his true nature was exposed.

In response to this, Flexburger used his identity as "Josh" to convince Daniel into [[May 6th|'''flashing his penis on TikTok live''']] in front of 500 viewers, resulting in his swift and immediate ban. This very same incident could occur just a day later, to which Daniel claimed that he was hacked, and had no idea what had happened.

Daniels behaviour would become increasingly more erratic throughout 2021, as sometime in late May, he would be kicked out of one of his disability housing situations due to him punching holes in the wall and screaming, which resulted in authorities being called to remove him from the premises.

On June 24th, and a few days afterward, Daniel would have a [[Likee Meltdown|meltdown]] on the video platform, Likee. He was on this platform due to his phone breaking, and was using a laptop to access the website. Daniel, under the assumption that something deadly happened to the VanderWaal family, hysterically demanded updates on the situation. In the end, he would receive no updates, threatening to end his life, and eventually calling the [[Daniel and the Law|police]].

From July 20 to August 2021, Daniel would stay in the [[Pink room|Pink Room]]. This arc was notable for the bizarrely sexual videos that took place during them, many of his videos having a [[Fog Arc|foggy]] effect on them, and Daniel frequently punching holes in the walls. This, of course, would lead to him being kicked out of this housing situation.
===Hype House Arc===
{{SpecialMessage|Message=The rest of this section is riddled with inaccuracies and unsubstantiated claims. It inaccurately portrays the events of 2021 and introduces certain topics without context. Our editors are currently working to correct these issues.}}
{{main|Hype House Arc}}

Daniel would go silent for a week after his TikTok account [[@daniellarsoninsocal]], registered to document his time in California, was banned.

Daniel would make his account daniellarsonhotmess around the time of his return, uploading a video of him declaring his hatred for [[The Police|the police]] in a video of him twerking while mouthing off about how bad they are.{{Citation Needed}} In another video in which Daniel is visibly inebriated, he exclaimed that he, "...wants there to be riots."<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7101648226318585130</ref>

In November of 2021, [[Goldberg Shacklestein]] was first mentioned by Daniel. Goldberg was actually [[Samantha]], one of Daniel's managers, incognito. According to Daniel, Shacklestein was the supposed leader of the New York mafia.

One video was posted around that same time in which Daniel, Jonas, and [[Gavin]] had a verbal altercation.{{Citation Needed}} This video was the first of many such posts. From late 2021 to early 2022, it became quite common for Daniel to interact with trolls posing as either Grace VanderWaal or Jojo Siwa. Oftentimes these trolls had such an influence on Daniel that he would fulfill requests on their behalf, even if the requests were degrading or incriminating.

==Homeless Era==
{{Rewrite|reason=Misinformation, lack of citations, too long.}}

The exact date of when Daniel became homeless is unknown, with the last known video of him confirmed to be in Jonas' house with a confirmed date being from December 6th, 2021.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFCMt7L5noE</ref> Daniel cut ties with Jonas for currently unknown reasons, meaning that Daniel had lost his last professional source of mental healthcare, which caused him to further succumb to the influences of his management and manipulators.

===Second Headset Arc===
2022 had a rough start for Daniel; he would record videos of him humping his camera for Grace and take out his anger on inanimate objects when he was upset. His behavior was so bad that his then-manager, [[Bianka]], quit for fear of mistreatment. Things only went downhill from there, as he posted videos of him crying in bathrooms, punching himself in the genitals, and ranting endlessly about Grace VanderWaal.

On May 13, Daniel went viral for the [[Porch Charging Incident]]. The conflict started when the owner of the property that Daniel was trespassing on asked him to leave, to which Daniel responded by calling the man racial slurs. Daniel's unhinged posting seemed to end when he ran the [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|Denver Colfax Marathon]]. He stopped posting anything of interest until June, in which his unhinged posting would begin yet again.

Daniel, after getting arrested for [[Criminal History#Criminal Mischief|criminal mischief]], got into a conflict with his case manager [[Andrew]], and as a result, would start to blame him for anything and everything that went wrong in Daniel's life. He began to have a large amount of micro-meltdowns over him where he, as usual, hit himself and said slurs, claiming that Andrew stole money, damaged his career, and leaked a photo of him masturbating completely nude in a public bathroom.

Daniel, after the end of the Andrew conflict, started showing up to [[Roe v. Wade Reversal Protest|protests]] which were ongoing, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. On the 27th of June, he would attend an open mic where he told his life story, how he exposed himself on TikTok, his obsession with Grace VanderWaal, and that his grandmother died of cancer because of his autism. This incident would get his name out to many Roe v. Wade protestors and people online, resulting in him getting recognized by multiple people at [[Daniel Gets Mobbed|another Roe v. Wade reversal protest]].

[[Briiink]] would make his first appearance 2 days later on a livestream. Briiink would run into Daniel charging his phone, where he got an autograph and paid Daniel money. It was also around this time that [[Quacko]] started to manipulate Daniel.

The day after this, Daniel would re-enter his dispute with Andrew, as well as start to post about his impending court case for criminal mischief, where he begged for thousands of dollars for "court," not specifying why exactly he needed it. Andrew would generously handle this for Daniel and open a bank account for Daniel, and Daniel would repay him by claiming that Andrew stole "$3,000 a month that's coming into my name."

At the end of June, a ton of events would happen: Bob would re-enter the limelight after telling Daniel that he could not finance Daniel's music career, Daniel would get kicked out of a school for trespassing, made a new TikTok account, Daniel would premier his song "Something More," would expose the fact that r/Daniellarson2 made a [[Discord Fiasco|Discord]] where they manipulated him and Daniel would do a Q/A on [[r/Daniellarson 2]].

Daniel kicked off July with yet another meltdown, this time over Quacko telling him to delay his release of "Something More," which Daniel would release that day. He would then go around town getting banned from multiple restaurants and a hotel. He would then enter a feud with a TikTokker named [[Kanye556]] after Daniel defended his use of the n-word by saying it was okay because he said it with an "a" instead of an "er." He would then claim he entered a [[Daniel's Coma|coma]] after this due to heatstroke, continuing his schizo-posting after this with seemingly no issues at all.

===Return of the Headset===

After an interview with [[Monkeyman Interview|Monkeyman56783]], he decided to part ways with his case manager, Andrew. Contrary to expectations of a negative outcome, he surprisingly started a Twitch channel, generating enough income to afford a hotel, an Airbnb, and a $400 pair of [[Headset Era|headphones]]. During this period, he increased his interactions with [[Briiink]], who, despite knowledge about Daniel's controversial past, engaged in activities like buying meals, going [[Bowling Activities|bowling]], and visiting Hooters with him.

Subsequently, an incident known as the [[The Toothbrush Incident|Toothbrush Incident]] occurred, involving a leaked video of Daniel engaging in unconventional behavior. This led to the [[July 2022 Electronic Destruction Spree]], marked by the smashing of headsets and electronic devices. In a sequence of events, he replaced his items only to destroy them again, including a Spiderman-branded headset intended for children. On July 25th, Grace VanderWaal's mom, Tina VanderWaal, warned Daniel via Facebook Messenger to stop mentioning her daughter, expressing concern for her family's well-being, and later reiterated her plea publicly, urging him to stop involving them and seeking legal intervention if he persisted. Daniel would then respond with "I understand... I'm ending my life tonight."

Daniel, after a break in posting, would reveal his new manager and enabler, [[Ox]]. After firing him almost immediately, Ox, for an alleged change, would positively influence Daniel; he would get Daniel an ID, and made Daniel apologize for saying the N-word. He would then stop this string of good influence by convincing Daniel that there was a [[Nuclear Attack|nuclear attack]] on livestream for money, which would get Ox fired and reported to the police, and Daniel's Twitch account banned.

== Second Housing Arc ==
[[File:Dildodelivery.png|left|thumb|431x431px|Yes, someone ''actually'' delivered this to his house.]]
{{main|Second Housing Arc}}

In July 2022, Daniel reached out for assistance from the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]], for housing. At this point, he had spent close to half a year being homeless, so Daniel was desperately in need of permanant housing. After several meetings with them, Daniel secured housing shortly thereafter.

By August 31, 2022, he had moved into a new home, marking the start of the Second Housing Arc. However, his stay at this housing unit did not last for long, as during the incident capturing his eviction suggested that Daniel had inadvertently disclosed his address, leading to unwanted deliveries and disruptions. Within days of moving in, he caused significant damage to the property and exhibited behavioral issues, notably instances where Daniel may have shared the address of his housing, which resulted in the house being pizza bombed by trolls. This also caused several deliveries being made to the house, most notably the delivery of a '''''glass dildo''','' among many other inappropriate items.

All of this would eventually result in his [[Miss P|eviction]] on October 16, where Daniel would cry, scream, and cause even more property damage before being taken out by the police, and receiving a subsequent citation. Reports from his housing provider indicated concerns for personal safety, raising questions about Daniel's behavior during his tenure.

== Travel Arc ==
{{Stub}}
[[File:ScabiesWorldTour.png|thumb|336x336px|A map of Daniel's travels throughout the arc. ]]
{{main|Travel Arc}}

After the [[December 10th Incident]], an incident where Daniel assaulted his elderly mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], while screaming "The motel threatened to kill me!" The true backstory behind this incident is unknown, but due to this, Bob would send Daniel to Los Angeles, California. This was speculated to be because of 5150 laws in California, which allow adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis to be held in psychiatric hospitalization for up to 72 hours.

In California, Daniel would visit a strip club and go to Disneyland, despite being a [[Daniel Larson's Finances|penniless]] vagrant. Most notably, Daniel would contract [[scabies]] during this time. While it is not entirely clear where he caught it from, it is very likely that this came from him sleeping outside and in porta potties. After this, Daniel would go to [[Travel Arc/Las Vegas|Las Vegas, Nevada]] after taking a bus from Palmdale, California.

== Cameo Arc ==
[[File:Cameo Review.png|left|thumb|251x251px|A dissatisfied review on Daniel's cameo account. ]]
{{main|Cameo Arc}}

The Travel Arc would finally end as Daniel left New York, returning to Denver on May 20. On May 25, the infamous [[Häagen-Dazs Incident|Haagen-Dazs Incident]] would occur, where Daniel would be kicked out of said ice cream shop following an altercation with employees.

On May 31, Daniel created a Cameo account, initially charging $30 for custom videos. Over the following month, he adjusted the prices, at times reaching over $1000 per video. Daniel eventually realized the need for lower prices to boost accessibility and increase sales, settling on $10 per video. However, the prices continued to fluctuate, occasionally going back up to $100. Despite the high prices, Daniel consistently failed to fulfill requests made by paying customers, sometimes outright ignoring them while thanking them for their money. This led to a decline in his review score, ultimately resulting in his ban from Cameo on August 16.

== Dog Arc ==
{{main|Dog Arc}}
[[File:WeenMusicPic.png|thumb|281x281px|A photo of Zola after being rescued. ]]
On July 9, 2023, Daniel adopted a German Shepherd mix named Zola from the Longmont Humane Society in [[wikipedia:Longmont,_Colorado|Longmont, Colorado]], which he renamed Music. He intended her to act as a "guard dog." Given that Daniel's history of violence towards others (and himself), many showed immediate concern. This concern soon turned to rage as footage surfaced of Daniel depriving Zola of water, combined with Daniel contemplating giving the animal nachos.

It was revealed that the Longmont Humane Society had not conducted a proper background check on Daniel, leading to them being horrified as his online history came to light.<ref>[[Longmont Humane Society Employee AMA]]</ref> 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 the premises]]. 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 the Longmont Humane Society on July 11.

The situation escalated dramatically after Music was taken from Daniel. Daniel reacted intensely, going into a Walmart, [[The 7/11 Incident|voicing his anger by destroying several stands of merchandise]]. After being released from police custody, Daniel's made 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.

== College Arc ==
[[File:Danielarrestfolsom.png|thumb|342x342px|Looks like Daniel Better Call Saul!]]
{{main|College Arc}}

On September 10th, 2023, Daniel began to announce his plans to enroll in college on his YouTube community tab, specifically stating that he would be attending CU Boulder. Subsequent community posts and a livestream followed, where Daniel discussed his enrollment process and shared details about his intended major and minor subjects. The context behind this decision involved Daniel's interactions with members of Phi Kappa Tau, a fraternity of CU Boulder students, who convinced him that he was a student. Videos of Daniel at a frat party, including ones where he promoted the fraternity, were posted on his TikTok and YouTube channel.

However, his time at the college would be short lived, as Daniel was [[Folsom Field Arrest|arrested for third-degree assault]] against a security guard on September 16, 2023. But, in a complete failure of the American justice system, he was somehow released from jail just two days later. The bodycam footage was released on September 21, 2023. Daniel was subsequently arrested again on October 3, for failing to appear in court.

On November 30, Daniel would go back to court and be sentenced to 12-month probation, 48 hours of community service, be fined, and be subject to anger management classes.

== Reverse Mohawk Arc ==
[[File:Reverse mohawk.png|left|thumb|229x229px|The face of a madman! ]]
{{main|Reverse Mohawk}}
''Further Reading: [[Timeline (2023, fourth quarter)]],'' ''[[Timeline (2024, first quarter)]]''

On October 23, 2023, [[trolls]] would give Daniel a "haircut." These trolls partially cut Daniel's hair down the middle, which was immediately dubbed as the, "Reverse Mohawk." The trolls abandoned him before finishing the haircut, claiming their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence of him having 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 probation and 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, [[Self Defense Word|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.

== UCLA Arc ==
{{main|UCLA Arc}}

Throughout January of 2024, Daniel would start attending UCLA, another college. Unbeknownst to Daniel, this was a clever scheme thought up by his manager, [[Clark]], where he was taught several false things, from "Ancient Texas" to the empress of China, Mai Coo Chee Itch. Throughout this arc, Daniel was supposed to be attending probation meetings, and even more, he had several warrants out for his arrest. Instead of tending to these very important things, he prioritized these ridiculously fake college classes.

==Jail Arc ==
[[File:Feb2024MugShot.jpeg|thumb|One of Daniel's many mugshots]]
{{main|Jail Arc}}

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]], eventually resulting in him [[Second Jail Arc|being at risk of being imprisoned for over 65 years]].

After getting [[January 5th Incident|chased around by trolls]], Daniel 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, favoring buying expensive meals he could not pay for, attending [[UCLA Arc|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 a mass shooting against post-ejection), although he would not be arrested.

Daniel was arrested once more on February 3, 2024. This was on the charge of him being a fugitive of justice, which were 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.

Four days after his release, he had a [[April 6th Meltdown|massive meltdown]] where he, in a fit of rage, made many terroristic threats toward Bob, as well as other federal agencies including a secret service agent. This would not serve him in the long run.

==Second Jail Arc==
[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Just look at that deadpan stare.]]
{{main|Second Jail Arc}}

On April 30, 2024, Daniel would be 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.

Daniel would be ordered to have a mental health evaluation multiple times, as the judge believed he was not competent to stand trial. On May 31, Daniel was transferred to the Englewood Federal Correction Institution. On July 19, a psychiatric report was filed. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel would be being institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility after being found incompetent for trial, as well as an attempt for further evaluation.

Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hc1xqm/daniel_transferred_to_oklahoma/</ref> He was in Oklahoma for over two weeks on his way to MCFP Springfield for his mental health evaluation and competency restoration on December 27, where he remains as of current. He had multiple evaluations and each time was declared incompetent to stand trial.

Seeing as Daniel is at risk of being in prison for several decades, many have seen this as the official ending of the Daniel Larson saga.

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, communications have been strictly through letters. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely. The official results of the evaluation have yet to be released. Somewhere around July 19, 2025, Daniel mentioned in a letter he sent to Big White that his case was on hold. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLIyp3VraZA</ref>

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all of what had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024, however this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025.

=== Summer Lull ===
Throughout May-August 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Because documents from April and early May 2025 have been restricted from public access by Daniel and his legal counsel, critical information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or confirmation of claims regarding his current status. However, he has been sending letters from jail to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> He recently alleged to an individual known as "Big White" that his case is currently suspended; it's good to note that any information that comes out of Daniel from his current institutionalization should be taken with a heavy grain of salt, as [[Daniel and Intelligence|he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed]] [[Daniel and reality|nor does he have the strongest grasp on reality]] nor a good comprehension of [[Daniel and mental health#Schizophrenia|what's going on around him in the first place.]]

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, communications have been strictly through letters. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely. The official results of the evaluation have yet to be released. Somewhere around July 19, 2025, Daniel mentioned in a letter he sent to Big White that his case was on hold. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLIyp3VraZA</ref>

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. Following this hearing, the case was given to federal judge Regina M. Rodriguez. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all of what had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024, however this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to place certain documents under Level 3 Restriction, effectively sealing them from public access. Following this, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed on April 25, 2025, with an additional filing made on May 5. A minute order was also filed on May 23, 2025.

=== Summer Lull & Case Suspension ===
Throughout May-August 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Because documents from April and early May 2025 have been restricted from public access by Daniel and his legal counsel, critical information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or confirmation of claims regarding his current status. However, he has been sending letters from jail to unknown individuals. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref> He recently alleged to an individual known as "Big White" that his case is currently suspended; it's good to note that any information that comes out of Daniel from his current institutionalization should be taken with a heavy grain of salt, as [[Daniel and Intelligence|he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed]] [[Daniel and reality|nor does he have the strongest grasp on reality]] or [[Daniel and mental health#Schizophrenia|what's going on around him in the first place.]]

On November 28, 2021,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/r4gvx0/comment/hmgzpb1/</ref> during the [[Hype House Arc]], [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] recorded a famous [[TikTok|TikTok live]] in which he acts very bizarre. Daniel is seen walking around his room continuously saying "bing bong" and dancing, his ritual getting cut off by him gagging and puking off-screen before immediately continuing with his "bing bong" chant. A longer version of the video exists in which after Daniel is done with dancing and puking, he gets down on the floor and praising [[Jonas]], calling him the king and the chosen one, whilst acting erratic throughout.

August 29th Meltdown

2025-07-03T00:25:35Z

Kultur: No longer needed (as far as I know).

{{CW}}{{Rage}}{{Quote|I want her fucking dead, I want her fucking dead! I want Grace fucking dead!|Daniel, whilst crying and beating himself}}
[[File:Bobby boy 95.jpg|thumb|There he goes, threatening unspecified legal action on people]]
The '''August 29th Meltdown''' (also called '''The Grace Meltdown''') was a significant meltdown that occurred on August 29, 2023, during the Homeless Era. [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] had a complete meltdown on his YouTube community page, before recording possibly the most violent meltdown he's ever had, where he is seen hitting his head against a wall and repeatedly punching himself in the face. This was caused by a fake [[Grace VanderWaal]] making threats, fueling his already existing anger, given he, [[Homeless Era|once again]], spent a night on the streets (complete with [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R5SUTppNVykDSqeskrLSe09T8Q3tH2hZ/view?usp=drivesdk breaking an establishment's windows]). This led to a severe meltdown.

This is one of the most violent and mentally debilitating meltdowns/incidents of Daniel. While most of it occurred on the community tab, Daniel eventually went live, and it showed just how bad condition he was in at the time.
== Components of the meltdown ==

Many, many more events occured which do not seem to have been documented, as hundreds of posts were made in just hours.

Due to a lack of donations or [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]] funds, Daniel was forced to spend the night of the 28th and the early hours of the 29th on the streets of Denver. Daniel was evidently in a harsh mental state all night long, given that he was frustrated enough to not only smash a window of a random establishment he was passing, but also to break a $100 pair of headphones, or at least so he claimed. Photos of the damage to the establishment would appear on Daniel's hacked Instagram. [[File:91 911111.jpg|thumb|Daniel tries, and fails to text 911|392x392px]]

The day started for Daniel with extreme harassment by a fake Grace to his phone number over text. This Grace would threaten death upon Daniel, call him a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]], [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cR9PUoEk0euYacBMNEa16zVnCAVV6ysy/view?usp=drivesdk imply sexual relations with Bob Proctor], call him a cuckold for [[Jacob Sartorius]], among others.

At one point, Daniel would even attempt to send a screenshot to 911 of one of the conversations he was having with this fake Grace. Unfortunately for Daniel, (or fortunately, as it is a crime to waste 911's time), the text didn't go through to them, because he sent an image instead of just text.
== YouTube Short and Live Stream ==
Prior to a live stream, Daniel would upload and then immediately delete a YouTube short, stating it was a message for Grace VanderWaal. In the video, Daniel calls her the n-word, a hater, and states he will now always hate her for what she did.

He also states he will be bombing the White House, and every single police station in the entire US. This was a factor that led to the [[Second Jail Arc]].

Daniel ends the video by stating that Grace told him to make it. This was the start of the meltdown.

{{#evt:

{{collapse top|result=Transcript}}
Daniel: This message is to Grace. Grace is a fucking n****r and hater and I will always hate her now because of what she did. And yes, I will bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb every single police station and the entire US, and Grace told me to make this video.

Automated voice: Train to Union Station departing in one minute.

{{collapse bottom}}
Later in the afternoon, the meltdown escalated tremendously, and continued in a YouTube live stream, which Daniel named the live stream "Proof for [[The N Word|n***er]] Grace VanderWaal I am hitting myself until i bleed". The video contains Daniel crying hysterically, [[Self Harm|aggressively hitting himself and slamming his head against a wall]] for almost the entire video, whilst repeating the phrase "I want her fucking dead!", referring to Grace.

Daniel would even begin slamming his head onto the sidewalk, and a nearby wall, albeit weakly and not doing any significant damage to himself. Daniel would continue to flip off the camera, still moaning about wanting Grace "fucking dead", and whimpering in a fit of rage. The full video could be found on Daniel's YouTube channel, before eventually being taken down by YouTube, either for the violence exhibited or for the bigoted title.

Kultur:

A running theme in [[Daniel Larson|Daniel's]] story is his overinflated ego. This shows itself in many ways, such as his stating that he will run for president<ref>https://youtube.com/shorts/-l-vt__J5oQ?feature=share</ref> and being confident he will win. In 2020, Daniel first announced he was running for President of the United States for seemingly no reason. Due to him being [[Second Jail Arc|institutionalized]] since April 2024, he could not (obviously) run for president in the 2024 United States presidential election. As of present day, he is still institutionalized, and will likely never be released into the public to stink up the streets yet again for a long, ''long'' while, most probably slashing his chances at running in the 2028 United States presidential election.

His presidential campaign also led his creation of the term 'ceel', meaning 'care, empathize, elect Larson'. (see [[Ceel Team 6]])

Daniel announced on July 14th, 2020 during the 2020 presidential elections that he would be running for president of the United States.

He has never expressed what party he belongs to or what kind of policies he would instill as president. However, there are some known opinions he has.

It was rumored that his running partner would have been [[Bob]], [[Grace VanderWaal]] or some other celebrity/friend he knew.

On November 3, 2020 Larson had lost to Joe Biden and Daniel racked in most likely about 1-10 write-in votes.

Pedophilia

2025-07-03T00:14:54Z

Kultur: Removed the rewrite section due to no edits/rewrite efforts being made past March. Also, no reasons were provided as to how this article also perpetrated misinformation.

{{CW}}{{SpecialMessage|Message=Due to the subject matter of this article, there will be a much higher standard of evidence. All claims must be sourced, preferably from primary and secondary sourced.}}
[[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson's]] most (in)famous trait is his extensive history regarding '''pedophilia''' and '''pedophilic behavior.''' It is unclear where this behavior comes from. While the cause is extensively debated, It is speculated to have come from alleged childhood sexual abuse, the twisted, disjointed way he views the world (on account of his [[Mental Health|mental illnesses]]), intense porn addiction, and his stunted sexual development.

While Daniel has been manipulated to make admissions of pedophilia and evidence has been faked by past [[management]] and [[trolls]], there is irrefutable evidence that outright confirms Daniel to be a pedophile.

== Origins==
===Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is unknown if Daniel was truly raped or if he had an act adjacent to that performed onto him. It is important to note that Daniel is perfectly capable of being a pedophile, and exhibiting pedophilic tendencies, without constant accusations of childhood rape.}}[[File:Daniel Quora question about his mom.png|thumb|Daniel's question on [[Quora]] about his mother.]][[File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|thumb|Michelle Lawrence's comment on Facebook.|left]]It is speculated and constantly debated that Daniel's pedophilia is a result of a traumatic childhood experience, such as facing sexual abuse.

As such, it is speculated that Daniel's [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] sexually assaulted him when he was young. This rumor spread after his [[Quora|Quora page]] was discovered. Quora is a website dedicated to asking and answering questions. On this account, Daniel questioned as to if the reader ever experienced their mother sexually stimulating them as a child. As such, many made the assumption that Elisabeth had carried out this act on his son. However, this is unconfirmed, and most likely false. During the [[Dog Arc]], a Facebook user by the name of Michelle Lawrence claimed to have worked with Daniel during his childhood, most likely during the time in which he was at the [[Tennyson Center]]. She claimed that Daniel had "...a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)," which adds believability the claim that Daniel was possibly molested as a child. However, due to no records existing of Michelle actually being an employee at the Tennyson Center, her claims remain invalid. Daniel is known to hold grudges against people, and if he had been previously sexually abused, especially in childhood, he most likely would have already posted about it. [[File:Ryan-Summer Camp abuse allegations.png|thumb]]
This is incredibly important as there has been an incredibly strong link established between childhood abuse and pedophilia, as anywhere between 33% to 75% of child sex offenders report being sexually abused as children.<ref name=":2">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01542465</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0145213413000264</ref> According to a Canadian study:
{{Quote|Those who had been sexually abused before age 16 sexually offended against significantly younger victims and had significantly more indicators of pedophilic interest}}
Daniel's pedophilic tendencies could be a response to traumatic events from his childhood. Although Daniel's childhood abuse is tragic, it may have positive implications for his recovery. Sex offenders who were victims as children are more likely to complete treatment and avoid re-offending.<ref>https://journals.lww.com/practicalpsychiatry/abstract/2002/09000/clinical_features_of_pedophilia_and_implications.4.aspx</ref> However, it is highly unlikely for Daniel to receive treatment as a result of his [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental illnesses]] and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them.

Daniel also alleges that he was abused by a person named [[Ryan|"Ryan"]] from 2018-2019, although the validity of Ryan sexually assaulting Daniel is questionable, as information from the [[Caretaker Call]] implies that Daniel may have been the one to assault Ryan. Additionally, statements regarding when Ryan raped him are often contradictory or don't make any sense at all. For example, Daniel claims that Ryan sexually assaulted him due to Ryan supposedly being jealous of his perceived "[[Delusions|fame]]."

One of the earliest recorded instances of someone accusing Daniel of pedophilia online was November 22, 2020.<ref>https://x.com/jahaha_0/status/1330672361218088962</ref><ref>https://archive.ph/TbDbr</ref>

== Examples of Pedophilic Behaviour ==

===Obsession With Child Celebrities and Children in general ===
One of the most consistently appearing figures in the Daniel Larson saga is [[Grace VanderWaal]], whom he was obsessed with when she was well under the age of 18. Daniel has been known to like, bookmark, and watch videos of children. His usual subjects are celebrities such as the aforementioned Grace and Darci Lynne, but also with random children, which most disturbingly, were as young as infants. In October of 2023, Daniel was caught by a Reddit user liking photos of their infant child.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1731tnt/daniel_just_followed_me_on_tiktok_and_liked_all/</ref>

===Camera Roll===
On an unknown date, Daniel accidentally exposed his camera roll to his camera, which displayed possibly hundred of saved photos of children on his phone, some of them containing explicitly illegal photos of child nudity.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/k0vTOpu</ref>[Censored, of course]

'''Second Pinterest'''[[File:Daniel’s Screenshot.jpg|alt=Daniel Larson’s Screenshot|thumb|The screenshot Daniel uploaded, with his profile photo circled.]]In September 2023, Daniel’s second Pinterest was exposed by a Reddit user. The account was found when Daniel uploaded a screenshot which included his profile photo and an account he followed. His account, “Joy King” or comfortablecop12, was found by looking through J Gummysmile’s following list.

The account included several photos of Grace Vanderwaal and other child stars in bikinis alongside articles on masturbation, like his first Pinterest.

Once this account was exposed on the subreddit, he attempted to delete it. He claimed he has never used Pinterest before (despite posting several Pinterest screenshots the night before being exposed) and reported the subreddit.

=== Quora Leak===
''See [[Quora]]''

Daniel's Quora account, leaked some time after August of 2022 by Flexburger, featured even more admissions of pedophilia from Daniel, with quotes as blatant as:<blockquote>"Why do I have strange thoughts involving children?"

"How do pedophiles pick up a girl?"

"How did your daughter's body react to her first orgasm?"</blockquote>Daniel, despite denying this account was his, accidentally showed him having the Quora app and a Quora account on multiple occasions.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRc8mSqh/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/127uagt/i_thought_he_said_he_doesnt_use_quora/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/111bu6g/daniel_admitting_his_quora_was_hacked/</ref>

===Real Interaction===
Daniel used to live in a home with a family that had two children, one of them being named [[Breanna]]. The son of the two children recorded a highly disturbing video of Daniel Larson pouncing on and trying to kiss Breanna,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12tkn0s/_/</ref>[Extreme content warning] his sister. Daniel admitted to masturbating in front of Breanna and her brother in the "Columbia Records" Discord,<ref>https://reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/17w5mc6/im_100_convinced_daniel_molested_brianna/</ref> admitted to touching her chest,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12y2xrb/_/</ref> and later making extremely graphic comments about Breanna, such as calling her an "upcoming pornstar."

===Sting Operations ===
Given Daniel's infamy on the internet as a lolcow and a horrorcow. Various trolls would approach him with the intent of trolling him, only to be met with his disturbing behavior. Several trolls impersonated 14-year-old actor Issy Simpson in order to catfish Daniel Larson on Kik, a messaging app. Daniel's conversations with the sting are highly disturbing, featuring Daniel asking extremely disgusting and sexual questions about minors. Several instances showcasing Daniel's pedophilic behavior have been leaked to Reddit. Many of them are cited above, below are three others that were not mentioned. All are compilations of leaked direct messages between Daniel and trolls.

=== Admissions ===
On January 16, 2023, Daniel went live after talking with a fake Grace VanderWaal who had convinced him to admit to both being a pedophile, and to having struck [[Bob Proctor]] on multiple occasions. User [https://www.reddit.com/user/Zealousideal-Hand-2 Zealousideal-Hand-2] on [[r/Daniellarson]] claimed to have been at least one of the "Graces" involved in extracting this admission.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10dzmlg/boys_im_glad_to_have_helped/</ref>

{{#evt:service=archiveorg|id=daniel-larsons-admission-jan-16th-incident-daniel-larson-incidents}}

On July 28, 2023, Daniel posted a video to his Youtube account after being "told by the FBI" to admit to his pedophilic action. Daniel admitted to sending nude pictures to minors, masturbating in public spaces, and shoving a water bottle into his rectum.

{{#evt:

On October 8, 2023, Daniel admits to saving nude pictures of a child onto his phone and keeping it for an extended period of time. these were supposedly sent to him by an unknown troll pretending to be Grace Vanderwaal as "video verification".

}}Daniel has admitted to, or has been manipulated into admitting that he is a pedophile in the past and present on multiple occasions, the video above being what is believed to be the first 'admission' ''(keep in mind that Daniel has been possibly manipulated into his admissions)''. Here are some quotes from some of his various admissions:<blockquote>"I admit... that I am a pedophile..." "...the reason being... is that I... growing up I didn't have anybody that, really, cared about me and I didn't have anybody that supported me."<ref>https://archive.org/details/daniel-larson-admission</ref>

"In the past, I used to... uhm... use pictures of girls, uhm, and uhm, masturbate to them. Unfortunately, that was over, uhh... that was a long time ago, to be honest... and I am no longer that person, and I reached out for help and uhm, and, it just so happened that, since I gained popularity on the media, uhm, people found out about my past."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If7Qs7k_L04</ref>

"I am sorry, Dave, for looking up CP and for looking up kids wetting the bed... I am so fucking sorry."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12lj1em/daniel_didnt_even_know_what_cp_meant_when_he_was/</ref>

"I am sorry for having 500 megabytes of child p*rn [''whispering'']"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fjy7b/megabytes/</ref>

"I repent! That I am sorry for... masturbating to, pictures of children and Grace. I am sorry!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/x3qcrz/daniel_repents/</ref></blockquote>While there is the possibility of manipulation, it is only a suspicion rather than an actual fact.

Quacko Meltdown

2025-07-02T14:03:56Z

Kultur:

{{CW}}{{rage}}

The '''Quacko Meltdown''' was a meltdown that occurred on July 1, 2022 during the [[Homeless Era]]. During a nighttime walk, Daniel made a video in which he becomes visibly agitated and begins ranting about [[Quacko]], a troll and former manager. Throughout the video, Daniel expressed suicidal thoughts, hit himself on camera, and made threats toward Quacko. He also used racial slurs, including calling Quacko the N-word.

== Background ==
Daniel begins by claiming that Quacko had just called him using [[Bob]]'s phone number. Becoming increasingly agitated, Daniel accuses Quacko of harassment and claims that both his probation officer and the FBI are now involved in an effort to “take Quacko down.” As his anger escalated, Daniel repeatedly hit himself and began shouting slurs, including multiple uses of the N-word. He directly threatens Quacko, yelling his name repeatedly, and refers to him as a “bitch.” Daniel complains about being bombarded with phone calls. He then begins threatening suicide, stating he is going to find a knife and “kill” himself. The video ends with Daniel uttering in a drawn-out, theatrical manner: "[[April 6th Meltdown|Kill... kill... kill...]] Dead... men... tell... no... tales." A few minutes after the video was posted, he took it down. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/vpjp5z/this_one_was_only_up_for_a_few_minutes/</ref>

April 6th Meltdown

2025-07-01T22:10:53Z

Kultur: Revert if needed. Seeing if the template works.

{{CW}} {{Rage}}{{Quote|KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL!! MURDER!!!||author=[[Daniel]], during the meltdown}}
The '''April 6th Meltdown''' was a significant meltdown that occurred on April 6, 2024 around 4:00 PM MDT (22:00 UTC), during the [[Homeless Era]]. Daniel displayed an unusually high level of anger during the meltdown, yelling in a guttural tone instead of his trademark high-pitched "Mickey Mouse" voice seen in other meltdowns, to the point where he was foaming at the mouth. However, there was less self-harm than most meltdowns. The meltdown was instigated by a combination of factors, including being kicked out of Buffalo Wild Wings as well as an exchange with a troll impersonating [[Bob Proctor|Bob Proctor.]] The meltdown featured him making specific terroristic threats against Bob Proctor as well as numerous government entities, which would end up being a factor in his [[Second Jail Arc|arrest]] only 24 days later.

Daniel had another meltdown the same day, although it was less intense and was triggered by trolls. The second meltdown took place about two hours later.

The content of the meltdown included: screeching, minor [[Self Harm|self-harm]], usage of the [[The N Word|N-word]], and extreme violent/terroristic threats including bomb threats. The '''April 6th Meltdown''' is considered to be one of the more extreme meltdowns Daniel has had to date, with similarities to the [[August 29th Meltdown]]. The meltdown also serves as one of the most clear examples of Daniel’s [[Daniel and Mental Health|debilitating mental health]]. Daniel live streamed the entire chain of events to his [[Social Media Accounts|YouTube channel]], with the first meltdown being swiftly taken down by either him or YouTube, although the less extreme second meltdown can still be accessed on YouTube.

The April 6th Meltdown was considered to be the most intense meltdown that Daniel ever had. The aura of intimidation and wrath he has in the video is enhanced by the windy audio, grey sky, and snot hanging and pouring out of his [[Beak]].

== Background ==
The meltdown appears to have a been a culmination of multiple factors. Leading up to the meltdown, Daniel was kicked out of a Buffalo Wild Wings as part of a troll-orchestrated fabrication of him securing a job interview there. In a brief livestream, Daniel appears distressed and is running away from the restaurant. He insinuates that the police have been called after an attempt to [[Criminal History|Dine-and-Dash]]. The original video on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHDPtxEJEng YouTube] was titled "Daniel Larson just got his new job threatened by the manager at Buffalo wild wings 😡", but the "job" was fabricated by [[trolls]], likely in an attempt to instigate an incident.<ref>https://archive.org/details/buffalo-wild-wings-kickout</ref>

Right before the meltdowns occurred, Daniel posted multiple disturbingly detailed images of his of [[Trench Foot|trench foot]] on his community tab, as well as multiple audio recordings of him talking to his doctor regarding his trench foot. Despite the pain and suffering caused by his lack of hygiene, Daniel still insisted on walking at least 20 miles to Boulder Colorado in order to attend court there, complaining frequently about his trench foot in multiple livestreams and community posts during this time. April 6th was also an extremely cold and windy day in Colorado, this is believed to have been a major factor in his meltdown.

Technically there were two separate meltdowns occurring on the same day, about an hour apart, both in the format of YouTube livestreams. The first livestream, by the far the most extreme, was about 5 minutes long and was quickly taken down by YouTube.

Daniel started a stream titled "Bob help me NOW" around 4:00 pm. The video begins with Daniel saying he needs help, before suddenly going into a full-blown rage, hitting the ground, and screeching twice before flipping off the camera, calling [[Bob Proctor|Bob]] the [[The N Word|N-word]] and threatening to "bomb his house till the day he dies". He repeatedly yells "bomb", "kill", and "murder" to express his frustration with "Bob" and entities he believes to be persecuting him. Daniel frequently screams threatening phrases and hits himself during meltdowns, likely due to autism impacting his ability to process negative emotions. He further threatens to bomb "every police station in the world" and federal entities including the White House, the "Feds", and [[Trolls|Daniel MacDougall]]. A well-known moment of the April 6th Meltdown occurs when he mimics the motion of a bomb dropping with his arm, coinciding perfectly with a gust of wind, creating an effect reminiscent of "airbending." <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fsgstt/this_is_a_message_to_daniel_mcdougal/</ref> Daniel's mouth, face and even hair becomes coated in his own windblown saliva and snot, while displaying his trademark "angry tongue". He hits the ground and his groin repeatedly towards the end of the stream. It should be noted that the "Bob" involved in this incident was a [[Trolls|troll]] that instigated the meltdown. [[Bob Proctor]] cut ties with Daniel in late 2023, after a second incident involving Daniel assaulting Bob in his car. The video was recorded in an extremely windy environment, where portions of Daniel's speech are obscured. The clip on the right is the first 30 seconds of the incident.

The second meltdown was far less extreme and occurred at the ending section of a 30 minute long livestream.<ref>https://archive.org/details/first-30-seconds-of-april-6th</ref> This livestream can still be accessed on YouTube under the title "Daniel Larson 20 miles to Boulder Colorado". During this second meltdown, he does the Angry Tongue several times, flips the camera off, and insults Bob using obscenities before ending the livestream. This second meltdown appeared to have occurred as a result of trolls tracking him down due to him obviously showcasing his location in the background, or at least his perception of people tracking him down based on trolls in the comment section. The '''April 6th Meltdown''' took place almost a year to the day after [[Bodega Incident|Daniel was confronted in a bodega]] during the [[Travel Arc]].

{{Quote|So, because of my autism, my grandmother passed away of cancer.|author=Daniel, at a [[Roe v. Wade Reversal Protest|Roe v. Wade protest]].}}

[[Daniel]] has a troubled relationship with '''mental healthcare''' and '''mental health professionals'''. He is very mentally ill, something even those who aren't well-averse in psychiatry can see clearly.

Daniel's delusions are downright dangerous, from thinking he is in a romantic relationship with celebrity [[Grace VanderWaal]], all the way to believing he is a world-famous [[Music|musician]] that is above the law. He is not the brightest candle on the cake, having a childlike mental capacity in comparison with his physical age. This is most apparent in his [[Tennyson Center]] interview, where during the interview, Daniel acts more like a 7-year-old despite being 14 at the time of recording.

As a result of his myriad of disorders, neglectful upbringing, enabling, his very poor intellect, inability to perform self-care, and poor handling of certain situations, Daniel fails to function as an adult. The disorders he is confirmed to have as of July 2024 are '''autism''', '''bipolar disorder''', '''PTSD''', and '''schizophrenia'''. Due to Daniel's hostile relationship with psychotherapy, there are most likely other conditions he suffers from that will remain undiagnosed for the foreseeable future.

== The Issue(s) with Daniel ==

=== Autism ===
Daniel is confirmed to be autistic by both his [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]], and by Daniel himself. '''Autism''', formally classified as '''Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)''', refers to a loosely defined, but interconnected, range of neurological challenges with social interaction and communication.

His naïveté, poorly developed social skills, and [[meltdowns]], are all common symptoms of ASD. Daniel has been speculated to have sensory issues, which is commonly seen among those with autism. This is evidenced by the fact that Daniel rarely, if ever, [[Hygiene|bathes]]. This has caused theories to form, speculating if Daniel may have hypersensitivity issues to bathing — meaning that he has an aversion to bathing due to the sensation and/or texture of it on his skin.

As seen in the [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report on the Tennyson Center]], Daniel can be viewed "stimming" and fidgeting repeatedly with his hands, which is defined as, “repetitive movements or noises. Stimming seems to help some autistic children and teenagers manage emotions and cope with overwhelming situations."<ref>[https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/behaviour/common-concerns/stimming-asd#:~:text=Stimming%20is%20repetitive%20movements%20or,replacing%20it%20with%20safer%20behaviour. https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/behaviour/common-concerns/stimming-asd#:~:text=Stimming%20is%20repetitive%20movements%20or,replacing%20it%20with%20safer%20behaviour.]</ref>

Another, much more dangerous, symptom of autism is [[Self Harm|self harm]]. Daniel can be seen in several meltdowns hitting himself, punching holes in walls, screaming, wailing, and slamming his head into his hands. This may be his version of saying that he does not like what is going on around him, as that is a common reason people with autism self-harm this way.<ref name=":0">https://autism.org/causes-and-interventions-for-self-injury-in-autism/</ref> Even though this is often a way for people with autism to signal things, it has also been speculated that Daniel does this to simply garner sympathy. Self harming is, oftentimes, a learned behavior, and Daniel may have self harmed this way when he was younger to get the attention he wants.<ref name=":0" />

Contrary to popular beliefs, autism does not necessarily make someone automatically smart, nor does it increase someone's IQ (unlike the much more appropriate "Savant syndrome"). In fact, around 60-70% of all autistic person have <90 IQ and only 5% of autistic people have greater-than average IQ. It is possible that Daniel Larson is between the mid to low functioning autism. However, he most likely does not have high functioning autism, as many who are live typically normal adult lives without needing any help.

Interestingly, there is a strong link between mothers with lupus, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus, giving birth to children with autism.<ref>https://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-10-moms-lupus-children-autism.html</ref> Daniels [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]] suffers from lupus, so much so that she would eventually be left wheelchair-bound due to it. While unknown, it is likely that Daniel may have inherited his autism from this.

Despite saying that he has an autism diagnosis, Daniel appears to be in denial of it. He has stated multiple times that his diagnosis is false, that "autism doesn't exist."{{Citation Needed}}or that he has a different disorder that is not autism.<ref>[[Rooftop Interview]]</ref>

=== Bipolar disorder ===
'''Bipolar disorder''' is a mental disorder characterized by rapid and extreme mood swings, characterized by periods of depression, abnormal elation, and sometimes psychosis.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder</ref> While not mentioned by Daniel, his mother has confirmed that he is diagnosed with it.

Daniel is most likely diagnosed with Bipolar I, a more severe subtype of the disorder which presents with full-blown mania (in contrast to the milder hypomania in II) and often psychosis, a mental state which Daniel exhibits many classic symptoms of. Another major driving force behind Daniel's [[meltdowns]] is his bipolar, as in multiple of them, he is seen exhibiting psychotic behaviors. As an example, during the [[Likee Meltdown]], Daniel repeatedly threatened to commit suicide, as well as self-harming, if he was not given information on the status of [[Grace VanderWaal]] and her family.

=== PTSD ===
'''Post-traumatic stress disorder''', or '''PTSD''', is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.<ref>[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event.]</ref>

In the [[Spiddlekick Interview]], Daniel says that he is more of the belief that he has PTSD over autism. It is unknown why he thinks this, but a docket report from the [[Jail Arc]] substantiates this diagnosis. It is called into question what caused his PTSD, whether it be alleged claims of physical, mental and/or sexual abuse from his childhood, or a completely different event entirely.

=== Schizophrenia ===
[[File:DiagnosisApril13.png|thumb|"Delusional ideas"]]

'''Schizophrenia''' is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and [[delusions]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia</ref> His mother has confirmed him having schizophrenia, just like many other of his mental disorders, as well as the fact Daniel has frequently taken [https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-155134/latuda-oral/details Latuda], a schizophrenia medication. He often shows delusions, believing himself to be in a relationship with several celebrities, believing himself to be in contention with [[Jacob Sartorius]], and most notably, believing himself to be a [[Daniel and reality|celebrity]]. Daniel has also had episodes of psychosis, believing himself to be watched or being shot at.

In reference to delusions, Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution. For example, Daniel, at one point, believed himself to be followed by several white vans to a point where he stowed away in a gas station out of fear of being hurt. During the [[UCLA Arc]], Daniel was under the impression that the Chinese government was watching him, after a troll pretending to be a student mentioned having talked to the government. Furthermore, he thought himself to have been poisoned by staff after eating a [[Red Robin Poisoning|Red Robin]]. After being released from the hospital, his discharge papers described him as having "delusional ideas".

=== Daniel's refusal to accept help ===
The one mental failing that debilitates Daniel the most is his downright refusal to adapt to his environment and accept help when he needs it. This stubbornness, more than anything else, is what makes him so frustrating to watch. While Daniel has expressed several times that he desires help for his several problems, he always refuses it when it does not align with his delusions. During a conversation with his manager [[Ox]], when he was informed that every time he spoke to "Grace" he was speaking to a troll, he seemed to only acknowledge it in order to get Ox to stop talking to him. Daniel complains multiple times about not receiving help, even though he has received multiple items such as changes of clothes and hygiene products (which he often throws away), as well as large amounts of money, all because of the hospitality of others.

Despite being told multiple times by multiple people to buy more affordable meals so he would not have to deal with the consequences of [[dine and dashes]], Daniel refused and continued to buy food wildly out of his price range, suffering [[Daniel and the Law|legal consequences]] due to defrauding restaurants he went to.

It is very obvious that Daniel values his [[delusions]] over his own well-being, because if he actually chose to accept the help of others, and follow the rules of establishments and places he stays at, he would have been in housing a very long time ago, or even more, not be [[Homeless Era|homeless]] at all.

== History of professional help ==

=== Tennyson Center ===
[[Spiddlekick Interview|As noted]], Daniel was regularly medicated during his time attending school at and living at the [[Tennyson Center]]. He claimed that once a month, students would meet with a doctor to prescribe and check on the effects of medication supplied to them. Given Daniel's documented violence, both [[November 6th Arrest|then]] and [[April 6th Incident|now]], it is likely that he was put on some type of antipsychotic by the center.

=== Sobesky Academy ===
It is not confirmed if Daniel was medicated during his high school's years. However, according to a [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|classmate]] of Daniel's, they state that it was highly speculated and very likely that he was medicated, considering that Daniel was very reserved and was rarely violent to others, and only occasionally [[Self Harm|to himself]].

=== Therapists ===
{{Stub}}

=== Psychiatric Wards ===
While the quality of "help" can be debated, Daniel is no stranger to stays at psychiatric hospitals. During the conclusion of the [[Dog Arc]], Daniel was put into a psych ward following him having a [[The 7/11 Incident|meltdown in a Walmart]], as well as calling the police multiple times to "get his situation heard." While it is unknown if he was truly given medication, a voice note that surfaced during his stay depicts a very medicated sounding Daniel. It is most likely that he was given antipsychotics during his week-long stay.

After threatening people with fireworks, Daniel was put into a mental hospital which he has described as "A living hell", where he was given Latuda, a medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u6AothG63B4</ref>

=== Second Jail Arc ===
After being found incompetent for trial on July 19, 2024 during the [[Second Jail Arc]], Daniel was ordered to be institutionalized for a mental health evaluation, and was finally transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10. Two weeks later, he was institutionalized at MCFP Springfield for competency restoration where he is presently incarcerated.

== Delusions ==
As a result of his many serious mental illnesses and patchy, almost nonexistent professional treatment for them, Daniel has had several constant patterns of delusions (also spelled as delusional thinking) throughout his life. The DSM-5 defines delusions as: "[...] fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence [...]".<ref>[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D.]</ref> Simultaneously, it is defined by the National Library of Medicine as: "[...] a fixed false belief based on an inaccurate interpretation of an external reality despite evidence to the contrary."<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539855/</ref> Delusions themselves are not a unified kind of phenomena; they are usually divided into ''persecutory'', ''grandiose'', ''somatic'', ''erotomanic'', ''referential'' and ''nihilistic'' delusions, among other kinds.

=== Persecutory delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established persecution complex.

=== Grandiose delusions ===
Daniel has a well-established grandeur complex.

=== Somatic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird or delusional beliefs/ways of thinking about the many sensations and functions of his body.

=== Erotomanic delusions ===
Daniel has many weird, if not depraved sexual delusions towards others, in particular [[Grace VanderWaal]].

=== Referential delusions ===
Daniel often times sees gestures, comments and environmental cues, that, to the mentally sound, would be benign and confidential; for Daniel, however, he has had several moments where he believed such things were directed at him.j

=== Nihilistic delusions ===
Daniel has been recorded to, on occasion, hold delusion beliefs of an impending catastrophe.

Daniel and mental health

{{Quote|I wanna say that I'm about, 10 to 15 percent of the world population... As far as how many people have seen my videos... I wanna say it's about 700 million.|source=Daniel when asked about how many fans he has in the [[Monkeyman Interview]].}}
[[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson's]] most notable trait are his '''delusions''', which are false beliefs or judgments about external reality, which are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. Daniel holds many delusional beliefs, mainly due to his his [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental illnesses]] and manipulation by [[trolls]].

Because of this, Daniel's perception of [[Daniel and reality|reality]] has been on a downward spiral since his [[Classic Era|first appearances]] on the Internet.

Despite many trying to break his delusions, Daniel still holds on strongly to these beliefs, even while institutionalized.

== Origins ==
{{Stub}}
As noted, an answer as to why [[Daniel]] experiences delusions is because of his various [[Daniel and mental health|mental illnesses ]], most notably Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia.<ref>[[Daniel and mental health]]</ref><ref>[[Daniel and reality]]</ref>

== List of known Delusions ==
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|This is a list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness due to just how many delusions Daniel has. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.}}

=== Fame ===
[[File:FameREAL.png|thumb|This is what Daniel truly believes. |357x357px]]Daniel believes that he is a world-renowned, international celebrity [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]] (and to a lesser extent, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]]) with billions of fans. This delusion in particular ties into his delusions of grandeur, mainly brought on by his schizophrenia. While Daniel does have [[Trolls|"fans"]] (If that is even the right word to refer to them by), it is not because of his music. Instead, people follow him purely because of his [[Incidents|eccentric]] and [[Likee Meltdown|disturbing]] behavior online. As noted in the [[Monkeyman Interview]], Daniel genuinely believes that 10-15 percent of the Earths population are fans of him. This would mean that roughly 750,000,000 people in the world are fans of him. This is obviously untrue. It should be noted that the #DanielLarson hashtag on TikTok has over 1 billion views, but overall, this is not representative of Daniel's fame as a supposed "celebrity."

To further put things into perspective, Daniel has around 37,300+ monthly listeners on ([[Spotify Hack|now hacked]]) Spotify;<ref>https://open.spotify.com/artist/0z7gLJa4rT9IrEV91RifYL</ref> while Michael Jackson has 41.9 million; Taylor Swift, the top artist on Spotify, has 114.6 million. Needless to say, Daniel has a long way to go until he reaches the top charts, let alone have almost a billion fans. The reality of this situation seems to not phase Daniel, though.

This delusion of grandeur causes Daniel to continually believe that he needs a contract with a [[Management|record label]] or [[management]], leading to trolls manipulating him under the guise of it being for his music career. Daniel has signed with many "record labels," rotating through them at the drop of a hat, unlike most celebrities.

=== Relationship with Grace VanderWaal ===
Daniel's [[Pedophilia|second-most infamous trait]] about him is his obsession with [[Grace VanderWaal]], a former America's Got Talent star who is now a low-level celebrity, musician and actress. Daniel's infatuation with Grace was said to have began when he was watching America's Got Talent with his [[Nancy Shimer|grandmother]]. Nancy allegedly remarked that Daniel could maybe sing with Grace on stage one day, and when hearing this, our future president took that it heart. While it's very likely that Nancy did not intend for it, Daniel became obsessed with Grace while she was only [[Pedophilia|12 years old]].

It's been displayed multiple times by trolls impersonating her that, when it comes to Grace, Daniel is willing to do [[August 29th Meltdown|just]] [[The Toothbrush Incident|about]] [[Grace VanderWaal#Daniel's (Failed) Trek from Colorado to New York|anything]] to please her and/or increase his chances of getting romantically involved with her. His belief of being in a relationship with her even developed so much to a point where Daniel now believes that Grace and him are engaged, and soon to be married.

Despite him being institutionalized '''''twice''''' during the [[Second Jail Arc]], his delusions about Grace have not stopped; to the contrary, they seemed to have gotten '''stronger''', as presumably thoughts of her had been allowed to stew in his warped mind as he rotted in FCI Englewood.

=== Finances ===
[[File:Nomoney.jpg|thumb|Daniel claiming to have his bank account robbed '''''as a result''' of'' not being able to pay for lunch... casually leaving him with 8.6 million dollars of debt.]]
{{main|Daniel Larson's Finances}}
Daniel will use fake bank account apps or budget tracker apps to create a "situation" in which he needs money. He is probably attempting to trick fans into giving him money by doing this, that is, he's begging with extra steps. Sometimes Daniel will declare an emergency about being a few billion dollars in debt.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16qkxna/daniel_is_7_billion_dollars_in_debt/</ref>

'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan,'''" is a 26-year-old [[Daniel and Mental Health|mentally ill]] internet personality and convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]] who claims to be a [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]], celebrity, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], and [[Presidential Campaigns|President of the United States]]. He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person.

In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy.

Daniel considers himself a celebrity, specifically, a [[Music Career|world-famous musician]] that billions of people know, despite spending the majority of his adult life as a [[Homeless Era|homeless vagrant.]] Despite this, Daniel managed to produce three studio-recorded songs; [[Roaring Thunder|"Roaring Thunder,"]] [[Something More|"Something More"]] and [[Merry Go Round|"Merry Go Round."]] His music is not what Daniel is most known for, as his TikTok's showcasing his disturbing [[Incidents|meltdowns]] garner far more attention.

The primary reason behind his behavior is attributed to the several [[Daniel Larson's health|mental disorders]] he is afflicted with, and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them. As of 2025, Daniel is confirmed to have [[Daniel and Mental Health|autism,]] [[Daniel and Mental Health|bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia]], which adds intense difficulty to his daily life.

Daniel's content is hosted on his many [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok and YouTube accounts]]. Many of these accounts have been banned over the years with the reasons for his bans varying greatly. In one notable instance, Daniel was banned from TikTok for [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]]. Other reasons for his bans range from him admitting to [[pedophilia]], use of [[Daniel and Race|racial slurs]], and [[College Arc|assaults]] on [[Self Harm|himself]] and [[December 10th Incident|others]], including his [[Bob Proctor|elderly mentor]], Bob Proctor. As well as [[Pink room|destruction of both public and private property]].

From 2021 onwards, Daniel faced many significant life-altering setbacks. He moved from house to house before becoming [[Homeless Era|homeless]], contracted [[scabies]], [[August 29st Meltdown|threatened to end the life]] of [[Grace VanderWaal]], [[Dog Arc|adopted a dog]] and had it taken away, [[Bodega Incident|assaulted a bodega employee]], attempted to enroll in [[College Arc|college]] [[UCLA Arc|'''twice''']], pulled a fire alarm at an [[Olive Garden Incident|Olive Garden]], [[Daniel and the Law|faced arrest on multiple occasions]], and became significantly more mentally ill than when he first started posted online. However, in 2024, Daniel's life came to a turning point when he was [[Second Jail Arc|arrested]] by the FBI for the numerous threats he made online during meltdowns.

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day.

As of current, Daniel is [[Second Jail Arc|incarcerated]] at the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]] near Springfield, Missouri, having been transferred there in December 2024.
==Before Era==

=== Childhood and Adolescence ===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Daniel has never been officially confirmed to have been abused as a child, much less sexually. News articles, videos, and posts often state that he has been, often citing Daniel himself, who is known to be an unreliable narrator. On the other hand, it is very likely that Daniel himself was the abuser. While it is highly likely Daniel may have suffered abuse, please take any claims made by him with a grain of salt until further confirmation.}}
[[File:Youngdaniel.png|left|thumb|254x254px|Daniel, at five months old.]][[File:GoofyAhhDanderson.png|thumb|Notice how he has all of his teeth. |262x262px]]

Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998, in [[wikipedia:Lancaster,_California|Lancaster, California,]] to parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]]. His parents were fairly young at the time of his birth; his mother was aged 22, and his father was only 20. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "obsessed with [[Daniel and Sex|sex]]"; however, this claim is difficult to verify.<ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref>

In 2001, Daniel's mother gave birth to his late siblings, [[Family#Joyetta and Olivia Larson|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would sadly pass away the same day due to blood type incompatibility between the girls and their mother.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>

Observing Daniel’s facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, it has been speculated that Daniel may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> This cannot be proven, and furthermore, it is way more likely that [[Daniel and health|genetic disorders]] from Daniel's parents passed onto him. It is unknown if this is truly the case, though.

When Daniel was a toddler, he was said to have been playmates with his neighbor's [[Dog Arc|dog]]. In a video he posted to TikTok, Daniel described himself as an “animal murderer,” talking about how the dog impaled itself on a spiked fence while the two were playing.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel was obviously not the one who killed the animal, this can be thought of as a starting point for his violent tendencies, which would only worsen as he matured.

Following his parents' breakup in 2010, Daniel moved to Colorado with his mother. According to accounts from Daniel's mother, Travis supposedly saw his son as a “lost cause," believing that his son would never improve or achieve anything significant in life.<ref>[[Elisabeth Shimer]]</ref> The decision to move was also influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj419qs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> Better physical care would also greatly benefit Daniel's mother, who became wheelchair-bound as a result of a decades-long battle with Lupus, a disease she suffered with since age 20. {{Quote|I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services. He doesn't just have autism he has severe bi polar and shizophrenic. He has beaten me and my mom... he has lied and has fantasies about so many things.

According to his mother, Daniel displayed severe signs of violent behavior at a young age, and at some point was professionally diagnosed with [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental disorders]] such as autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.<ref name=":4">[[:File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png|File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png]]</ref> This may be because his mother and father are likely mentally challenged to some extent, and those diseases passed onto their son. This is plausible, given how hereditary autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are. It is unknown what conditions they suffer from.{{collapse top|result=More of Young Daniel}}

Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and alleged [[Pedophilia#Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse|sexual abuse]]. If true, this mistreatment may have left him with childhood trauma which aggravated his already chaotic behavior, and even worse, contributed to his later [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]]. A health and/or social worker who claimed to have worked with Daniel claimed that he had a, "...history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)." What this means is unclear. It has not been confirmed if this person actually helped Daniel, leaving its validity questionable.<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref>
{{Quote|I worked with this person when he was a child/teen in a severe treatment center in Denver.... he's had a horrible upbringing and does suffer from multiple behavior and personality issues. This is a man with deep rooted mental health problems! It's very sad and I hope that the dog and himself finds help. There's a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him) as well. How he acts ISNT A GAME or him faking.... It's truly how his brain thinks and it's severely debilitated! Very sad story to see this from working with him as a teen....}}

[[File:DanielFosterHomeForm.png|thumb|523x523px|The DDRC describing Daniel to potential foster parents.]]
At around age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to alleged neglect he was facing. Given the state's actions, it is likely that Daniel was truthful regarding his later claims of neglect. Additionally, a later [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report]] reaffirms this.

Daniel's mother has alleged that [[Nancy Shimer|Nancy]] spread lies about her abusing/neglecting her son for unknown reasons.<ref name=":4" /> Instead, it is way more likely that Daniel was taken away from her as a result of her being paralyzed, which made it harder for Elisabeth to care for Daniel. This is what may have caused claims of Daniel being neglected. Due to her disability, Elisabeth would go into assisted living in 2015.

According to [[Flexburger]], a future manager of Daniel:

{{Quote|Daniel moved to Hugo, Colorado with his mom after she split with Travis. She couldn’t take care of him anymore because she was paralyzed. And Daniel was an asshole. I asked him about her getting paralyzed. He told me she was stuck on the kitchen floor for a couple months straight by herself and couldn’t get up. I knew that was a lie so I asked “so she shit and pissed herself on the floor for a couple months straight?” to with daniel responded “yes”.|Flexburger|author=Flexburger}}

Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes in the years following the state's intervention.<ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> This is evidenced by documents that the [[DDRC|Developmental Disabilities Resource Center]], or DDRC, sent to potential fosters families and host homes. These documents warn families that Daniel, "...has a history of [[7/11 incident|property damage]], [[Dog Arc|kicking animals]], [[August 29th Meltdown|self-injurious]] behavior, and verbally threatening or [[December 10th Incident|hitting providers]] when he's upset." This corroborates claims of Daniel being extremely violent, even in childhood. One of the homes he would end up staying in was the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]], an assisted living facility for schooling, rehabilitating, and assisting children with intellectual disabilities, as well as youth who faced neglect, abuse, and other mistreatment. At this school, he met his mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], via a reading buddy program;<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> the two would remain close even after the program concluded.

Eventually, Daniel's grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], was eventually granted legal guardianship of him following a long custody battle.

Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits. When Daniel was a toddler, Nancy was said to have rewarded him with M&M's after he had drawn on the walls of her home.{{Citation Needed}} Because of this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis tried to gain custody of their son, believing that Nancy would not raise their son correctly. However, despite their collective efforts, they both ultimately failed; when Travis filed for custody of Daniel, Nancy opposed it, claiming that Daniel "didn't even know his father," raising serious doubts and questions about their relationship. Due to the hostile accusations hurled during the custody disputes, Travis grew to despise Nancy, allegedly calling her a "bitch," and claiming that the only reason she had custody of Daniel was due to her greater financial situation.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Unlike Travis, Elisabeth was eventually given visitation rights to see Daniel once more.

Daniel even made it on the news around this time, being [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|featured on local Denver news station KWGN]]. The clip documented his time at the [[Tennyson Center]], in which he lived for over a year prior to Nancy gaining custody of him, where he was now continuing to receive schooling at.

[[File:SobeskyDan4.png|thumb|434x434px|Our beloved Danny boy. ]]

Throughout his childhood, Daniel was almost exclusively referred as "Danny." He was even called this in his high school yearbook and in the aforementioned news report. According to his classmates, Daniel was a very violent person, even in class. One of his classmates refers to a time in which Daniel threw a chair at a window, which resulted in a light fixture being knocked down.<ref>[[Canned Legs Leaks]]</ref>
{{Quote|i also remember he threw a chair at the window in the computer lab that overlooked the library and knocked down one of the light fixtures. but yeah that sums it up lol}}
According to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallways in an attempt to evade staff. Due to his troubled behavior, Daniel was assigned a guardian who followed him throughout the entire school day.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> When questioned about this, Daniel asserted that him having a guardian was not because of him being untrustworthy, but because of him having a close friendship with his teachers.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref>

Just like his childhood, his time in school was wrought with alleged claims of mistreatment and bullying. Daniel claimed that the Tennyson Center was a, "...very violent place."<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> According to Daniel, the Tennyson Center had a brick room only lit up by a single window, dubbed the 'Timeout Room.' Daniel claims to have been placed in this room on several occasions for behavior such as excessive crying or not cooperating with teachers. Other students would be physically restrained due to violent behavior; however, this seems to have never happened to Daniel.

This is important, especially when taking the less than positive reputation of the Tennyson Center into account. Many past students and attendants of their programs claim to have been abused while attending, which is further corroborated by the Tennyson Centers residential living program (which Daniel attended) eventually shutting down following the death of an 11-year-old boy under the facilities care. There were also several documented instances of sexual misconduct between children, runaways, drug overdoses, and children harming themselves.<ref>https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/23/tennyson-center-residential-program/</ref> It is likely that Daniel may have faced the same mistreatment as other students have claimed, but this is unclear.

When in school, Daniel claimed that children would tease him by calling him '[[wikipedia:Danny_Phantom|Danny Phantom]],' a nickname derived from the fictional character of the same name. According to a classmate, this seemed to have very little effect on him.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> These claims of being bullied only seemed to arise in adulthood.
{{Quote|Contrary to what he may say, people were actually quite respectful towards him. We all knew we had our own issues, and for the most part, nobody meant any harm towards him. Whenever he was called Danny phantom, there was no malicious intent. He didn't even really react to it. I guess that's more something that came after he graduated. But no, not really anybody bullied him. This particular school was quite small, so when I say that, not really, anybody bullied him, I mean, there were about 18 of us in the high school. Even the biggest bully in the school didn't really pay much mind to him. He was just that reserved.}}

During this time, he would participate in several extracurricular activities. According to his [https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-larson-b734b2196/ Linkedin page], Daniel was a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in January of 2012, although there little information regarding this occupation. Sometime in 2014, Daniel started attending and participating in several [[Musical Theater|musical theater programs.]] Daniel is known to have participated in at least eight different musicals, although he rarely got leading roles. His roles in these musicals may have set the groundwork for his desire to be famous.
[[File:Openingschool.png|left|thumb|284x284px|Daniel, at the opening of Sobesky Academy. ]]

In many of the photos from his time in musical theater, Daniel is visibly smaller than almost all of his classmates, only exacerbated by his odd bowl-cut hairstyle. Daniel may suffer from something such as [[wikipedia:Progeria|progeria]], which would explain his physical appearance, though this claim cannot be substantiated.

Daniel began attending [[Sobesky Academy]] in 2016, the same year that it opened. It should be noted that Sobesky, while having a large population of children with special needs, was not exclusively a special needs school. This was due to Sobesky being an [[wikipedia:Alternative_school|alternative school]], which aimed to rehabilitate troubled students and prepare them for reintegrating with their district schools.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> Due to him never being reintegrated, there are questions surrounding the validity of his high school diploma.

There is not much known about Daniel's time in Sobesky, as Daniel seemingly hasn't talked much about his high-school years, as opposed to his time in the Tennyson Center which he seems to hold in higher regard. Though, according to [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|one of his high-school classmates]], Daniel, even in high school, had an escort, which implies that Daniel had violent tendencies all throughout his teenage years.

{{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved. He often times would have an escort, and his escorts would call him Danny... ...post-graduation it was like night and day. He went from robotic to the way he is today. It was a rapid turnaround.}}

Despite his behavior being far less eccentric during his high school years, he was documented to have had occasional outbursts and [[meltdowns]], during some of which he would [[Self Harm|hit himself]]. These meltdowns were sometimes severe enough to result in the school being put under lockdown, referred to as a "close and lock". The reason he is much worse now compared to his time in school could be that Daniel was heavily medicated when he attended Sobesky and Tennyson, whereas nowadays he almost always refuses to take antipsychotics. He was often described as someone who was quiet, a, "...total wallflower," and "...pretty normal."<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref>

[[File:Furries.png|thumb|Could our future president be a furry? ]]

Daniel, despite being [[Intelligence|unable to do basic math,]] to a point where a classmate described him as having academic retention, took Algebra 2.

[[File:Graduation.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Daniel at his high school graduation. ]]
{{Quote|He was 4 years older than me so having classes was rare. The only one I had with him was back in 2017 when I was taking Algebra II.}}

Little is known regarding Daniel's experiences in high school, though he is known to have acted as one of the mascots for his school's softball team, and was said to have been obsessed with [[Music Career|singing]].

During this time, it was a common pastime for Daniel and his grandmother to watch ''[[wikipedia:America's Got Talent|America's Got Talent]]'' together. Sometime when he was around 17, they both caught an episode featuring a young singer named [[Grace VanderWaal]]. It is said that when Daniel was watching it with her, his grandmother remarked that he may sing with her on stage some day. Despite the questionable validity of this statement, Daniel convinced himself, even though at the time [[Pedophilia|Grace was 12, and he was 17 years old]], that he was a part of Grace's life and had a relationship with her. This was the birth of his obsession with her.

Daniel graduated from Sobesky Academy at the age of 18 in 2017, not attending any type of higher education afterwards. The validity of his high school diploma is debated, as he most likely has a Certificate of Completion (COC), opposed to an actual high school degree.

It is most likely that Daniel continued to live with his grandmother after this.

===Adult Chronicles ===
[[File:BroadwayPic.png|left|thumb|Nancy's dog, Broadway.|228x228px]]

Even after graduating, it didn't appear that Daniel's life would get any better. Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested]] on November 6th, 2017, after an incident where he physically assaulted his paralyzed, wheelchair-bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]]. Daniel claimed that this incident was a result of his mother cornering him following what was allegedly an argument, but when looking at his charges, this seems unlikely. Daniel was imprisoned for 44-45 days following the arrest. This incident forever ruined him and his mother's relationship, causing Elisabeth to cut all contact with her son.

2019 appeared to be the year when Daniel lost two of the most important people in his life. On April 11, 2019, Daniel had to put down Broadway, his dog, due to her battle with cancer.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI7cPMlZtQ/</ref>
{{Quote|Had to put her down today. She had cancer. She was my baby. She was in 2 live performances. Can you wish her luck and good times. She was a fighter and would fight through anything. Her name was Broadway.}}
Even more devastatingly, on July 24, 2019, Nancy Shimer, Daniel's grandmother, arguably the most important person in his life, passed away at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer, when Daniel was 21.
[[File:DanielThriftStore.png|thumb|“A nother day at work.”|300x300px]]
It is likely that Daniel was still living with his grandmother before her passing. On the day she died, Daniel was attending a Special Olympics event, during which he was informed of his grandmother being on her deathbed. Instead of going to comfort her at the hospice center, Daniel chose to stay at the event to prove that he was a 'fighter.' This incident, though seemingly minor, reflects the profound lack of respect Daniel had for his grandmother, as he could not even be bothered to be with her as she passed away.
[[File:Daniel21birthday.png|left|thumb|217x217px|Daniel, drinking a margarita on his 21st birthday.]]
Following the death of his grandmother, Daniel was sent to a state-run group home program for the disabled, as even at the age of 20, Daniel was still unable to take care of himself. This housing program gave him a job at a thrift store sometime in 2019. At this job, Daniel was said to have lost all of his money after falling victim to a gift card scam, which left his employment short-lived.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3gtox/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> This can be used as an example of Daniel being trolled, even before social media.

Sometime in 2019, Daniel joined TikTok and began posting, albeit very infrequently, on his account [[@daniellars20]].. He was also using other social media sites, such as Twitter (now X) and Instagram. It is unknown how he obtained a phone, but it is likely it was bought with the income from his job at the thrift store. His first known Twitter account was [[@DanielL26324766]], on which he posted about his time in the Special Olympics, and videos of himself hiking.

Daniel, opposed to what he would become later in his life, seemed to be significantly more physically fit during this time. He often posted the amount of steps he had attained on his Fitbit from these hikes. Daniel's 21st birthday also fell in 2019. On his Twitter account, he posted his excitement at being able to go to casinos and being able to legally drink. At his birthday dinner, Daniel drank a margarita.<ref>https://x.com/daniel__larson/status/1195519647967334401?s=46</ref>

In February of 2020, Daniel became convinced that he was a fashion model. He applied to a talent agency called [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency]], and starred in one of their fashion shows.

From 2019 to early 2020, Daniel's life would be relatively peaceful, him unknowing of the things to come.

== Classic Era ==
{{main|Classic Era}}
[[File:D9F97C6D-7448-4BFB-8602-C7FE38903361.jpg|thumb|A cropped meme of the May 6th incident.]]

The Classic Era began in March 2020 with the creation of Daniel's notable TikTok account, @daniellarsonfans. His content ranged from showcasing his disability housing to expressing his aspirations to be a singer-songwriter and celebrity. Though, it would be his unorthodox appearance and strange mannerisms that would truly gain him notoriety.

One of his popular videos during this time was one where he said "good night, everyone," to the camera, marking a significant rise in his popularity. In July, he announced his 2020 presidential candidacy, gaining ironic support. Because of this, followers of his would begin to call him "Mr. President" ironically. By August, trolls under the guise of entertainment [[management]] companies and record labels began exploiting his desire for fame, manipulating him into saying and doing increasingly offensive and questionable things. Despite this, Daniel continued to amass followers, and released his first song, "[[Fake News]]," in October.

As the next month rolled around, Daniel's reputation took a significant nosedive. In November, Daniel's [[Pinterest]] account was found and subsequently had its contents exposed. The account contained albums of images of children and a map of the age of consent in the United States, strongly suggesting that Daniel had a sexual interest in young girls. Daniel immediately attempted damage control, claiming that the account was not his, even suggesting he had no idea what Pinterest was. These arguments were quickly deconstructed, as the account's email was linked to an old Twitter account of his.

Daniel would eventually admit ownership of the account, before immediately returning to denying its existence, just before admitting to owning it once more. He was confronted by multiple parties about the account, including his then-management, [[Roach Records]]. Subsequently, Daniel would delete his Pinterest account by November 21, locking down his TikTok account until December.

Upon returning, he was interviewed by [[The Delegation Podcast]], who asked him several questions about the legitimacy of the Pinterest account. After this, they proceeded to report Daniel to the FBI, as they were under the belief that Daniel was in possession of exploitative images of children.

On December 17, 2020, Daniel made his final post, claiming to be auditioning for America's Got Talent, asking his followers to "please stay turned," Despite this, he did not post again after this. It was later revealed that this disappearance was due to him being reported to FBI, as he was under investigation due to him being suspected to be in the possession of CSAM. [[File:Daniel Larson Fog.png|This instance of the fog in July of 2021. Post on @daniellarsonishere.|thumb|left|374x374px]]

=== Headset Arc ===
{{main|Headset Arc}}

After returning to social media in March 2021, Daniel explained that his disappearance was due to him being investigated by the FBI, and that he was "safe" now. Evident from the name of this arc, Daniel is seen wearing a [[Headset Arc|gaming headset]] in many of the videos from this time.

During this time, Daniel would begin to be managed by [[Flexburger]], who at this point operated as "Josh," an employee of the fake record label [[Party House Records]]. He hadn't forgotten about the allegations of pedophilia against him, and sought to expose Daniel once more for who he really was. Flexburger posted several screenshots of Daniel talking sexually to individuals he believed to be minors, as well as footage of Daniel discussing how he would legalize child molestation if he were president. As a result, Daniel declared war on Flexburger, upset that his true nature was exposed.

In response to this, Flexburger used his identity as "Josh" to convince Daniel into [[May 6th|'''flashing his penis on TikTok live''']] in front of 500 viewers, resulting in his swift and immediate ban. This very same incident could occur just a day later, to which Daniel claimed that he was hacked, and had no idea what had happened.

Daniels behaviour would become increasingly more erratic throughout 2021, as sometime in late May, he would be kicked out of one of his disability housing situations due to him punching holes in the wall and screaming, which resulted in authorities being called to remove him from the premises.

On June 24th, and a few days afterward, Daniel would have a [[Likee Meltdown|meltdown]] on the video platform, Likee. He was on this platform due to his phone breaking, and was using a laptop to access the website. Daniel, under the assumption that something deadly happened to the VanderWaal family, hysterically demanded updates on the situation. In the end, he would receive no updates, threatening to end his life, and eventually calling the [[Daniel and the Law|police]].

From July 20 to August 2021, Daniel would stay in the [[Pink room|Pink Room]]. This arc was notable for the bizarrely sexual videos that took place during them, many of his videos having a [[Fog Arc|foggy]] effect on them, and Daniel frequently punching holes in the walls. This, of course, would lead to him being kicked out of this housing situation.
===Hype House Arc===
{{SpecialMessage|Message=The rest of this section is riddled with inaccuracies and unsubstantiated claims. It inaccurately portrays the events of 2021 and introduces certain topics without context. Our editors are currently working to correct these issues.}}
{{main|Hype House Arc}}

Daniel would go silent for a week after his TikTok account [[@daniellarsoninsocal]], registered to document his time in California, was banned.

Daniel would make his account daniellarsonhotmess around the time of his return, uploading a video of him declaring his hatred for [[The Police|the police]] in a video of him twerking while mouthing off about how bad they are.{{Citation Needed}} In another video in which Daniel is visibly inebriated, he exclaimed that he, "...wants there to be riots."<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7101648226318585130</ref>

In November of 2021, [[Goldberg Shacklestein]] was first mentioned by Daniel. Goldberg was actually [[Samantha]], one of Daniel's managers, incognito. According to Daniel, Shacklestein was the supposed leader of the New York mafia.

One video was posted around that same time in which Daniel, Jonas, and [[Gavin]] had a verbal altercation.{{Citation Needed}} This video was the first of many such posts. From late 2021 to early 2022, it became quite common for Daniel to interact with trolls posing as either Grace VanderWaal or Jojo Siwa. Oftentimes these trolls had such an influence on Daniel that he would fulfill requests on their behalf, even if the requests were degrading or incriminating.

==Homeless Era==
{{Rewrite|reason=Misinformation, lack of citations, too long.}}

The exact date of when Daniel became homeless is unknown, with the last known video of him confirmed to be in Jonas' house with a confirmed date being from December 6th, 2021.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFCMt7L5noE</ref> Daniel cut ties with Jonas for currently unknown reasons, meaning that Daniel had lost his last professional source of mental healthcare, which caused him to further succumb to the influences of his management and manipulators.

===Second Headset Arc===
2022 had a rough start for Daniel; he would record videos of him humping his camera for Grace and take out his anger on inanimate objects when he was upset. His behavior was so bad that his then-manager, [[Bianka]], quit for fear of mistreatment. Things only went downhill from there, as he posted videos of him crying in bathrooms, punching himself in the genitals, and ranting endlessly about Grace VanderWaal.

On May 13, Daniel went viral for the [[Porch Charging Incident]]. The conflict started when the owner of the property that Daniel was trespassing on asked him to leave, to which Daniel responded by calling the man racial slurs. Daniel's unhinged posting seemed to end when he ran the [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|Denver Colfax Marathon]]. He stopped posting anything of interest until June, in which his unhinged posting would begin yet again.

Daniel, after getting arrested for [[Criminal History#Criminal Mischief|criminal mischief]], got into a conflict with his case manager [[Andrew]], and as a result, would start to blame him for anything and everything that went wrong in Daniel's life. He began to have a large amount of micro-meltdowns over him where he, as usual, hit himself and said slurs, claiming that Andrew stole money, damaged his career, and leaked a photo of him masturbating completely nude in a public bathroom.

Daniel, after the end of the Andrew conflict, started showing up to [[Roe v. Wade Reversal Protest|protests]] which were ongoing, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. On the 27th of June, he would attend an open mic where he told his life story, how he exposed himself on TikTok, his obsession with Grace VanderWaal, and that his grandmother died of cancer because of his autism. This incident would get his name out to many Roe v. Wade protestors and people online, resulting in him getting recognized by multiple people at [[Daniel Gets Mobbed|another Roe v. Wade reversal protest]].

[[Briiink]] would make his first appearance 2 days later on a livestream. Briiink would run into Daniel charging his phone, where he got an autograph and paid Daniel money. It was also around this time that [[Quacko]] started to manipulate Daniel.

The day after this, Daniel would re-enter his dispute with Andrew, as well as start to post about his impending court case for criminal mischief, where he begged for thousands of dollars for "court," not specifying why exactly he needed it. Andrew would generously handle this for Daniel and open a bank account for Daniel, and Daniel would repay him by claiming that Andrew stole "$3,000 a month that's coming into my name."

At the end of June, a ton of events would happen: Bob would re-enter the limelight after telling Daniel that he could not finance Daniel's music career, Daniel would get kicked out of a school for trespassing, made a new TikTok account, Daniel would premier his song "Something More," would expose the fact that r/Daniellarson2 made a [[Discord Fiasco|Discord]] where they manipulated him and Daniel would do a Q/A on [[r/Daniellarson 2]].

Daniel kicked off July with yet another meltdown, this time over Quacko telling him to delay his release of "Something More," which Daniel would release that day. He would then go around town getting banned from multiple restaurants and a hotel. He would then enter a feud with a TikTokker named [[Kanye556]] after Daniel defended his use of the n-word by saying it was okay because he said it with an "a" instead of an "er." He would then claim he entered a [[Daniel's Coma|coma]] after this due to heatstroke, continuing his schizo-posting after this with seemingly no issues at all.

===Return of the Headset===

After an interview with [[Monkeyman Interview|Monkeyman56783]], he decided to part ways with his case manager, Andrew. Contrary to expectations of a negative outcome, he surprisingly started a Twitch channel, generating enough income to afford a hotel, an Airbnb, and a $400 pair of [[Headset Era|headphones]]. During this period, he increased his interactions with [[Briiink]], who, despite knowledge about Daniel's controversial past, engaged in activities like buying meals, going [[Bowling Activities|bowling]], and visiting Hooters with him.

Subsequently, an incident known as the [[The Toothbrush Incident|Toothbrush Incident]] occurred, involving a leaked video of Daniel engaging in unconventional behavior. This led to the [[July 2022 Electronic Destruction Spree]], marked by the smashing of headsets and electronic devices. In a sequence of events, he replaced his items only to destroy them again, including a Spiderman-branded headset intended for children. On July 25th, Grace VanderWaal's mom, Tina VanderWaal, warned Daniel via Facebook Messenger to stop mentioning her daughter, expressing concern for her family's well-being, and later reiterated her plea publicly, urging him to stop involving them and seeking legal intervention if he persisted. Daniel would then respond with "I understand... I'm ending my life tonight."

Daniel, after a break in posting, would reveal his new manager and enabler, [[Ox]]. After firing him almost immediately, Ox, for an alleged change, would positively influence Daniel; he would get Daniel an ID, and made Daniel apologize for saying the N-word. He would then stop this string of good influence by convincing Daniel that there was a [[Nuclear Attack|nuclear attack]] on livestream for money, which would get Ox fired and reported to the police, and Daniel's Twitch account banned.

== Second Housing Arc ==
[[File:Dildodelivery.png|left|thumb|431x431px|Yes, someone ''actually'' delivered this to his house.]]
{{main|Second Housing Arc}}

In July 2022, Daniel reached out for assistance from the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]], for housing. At this point, he had spent close to half a year being homeless, so Daniel was desperately in need of permanant housing. After several meetings with them, Daniel secured housing shortly thereafter.

By August 31, 2022, he had moved into a new home, marking the start of the Second Housing Arc. However, his stay at this housing unit did not last for long, as during the incident capturing his eviction suggested that Daniel had inadvertently disclosed his address, leading to unwanted deliveries and disruptions. Within days of moving in, he caused significant damage to the property and exhibited behavioral issues, notably instances where Daniel may have shared the address of his housing, which resulted in the house being pizza bombed by trolls. This also caused several deliveries being made to the house, most notably the delivery of a '''''glass dildo''','' among many other inappropriate items.

All of this would eventually result in his [[Miss P|eviction]] on October 16, where Daniel would cry, scream, and cause even more property damage before being taken out by the police, and receiving a subsequent citation. Reports from his housing provider indicated concerns for personal safety, raising questions about Daniel's behavior during his tenure.

== Travel Arc ==
{{Stub}}
[[File:ScabiesWorldTour.png|thumb|336x336px|A map of Daniel's travels throughout the arc. ]]
{{main|Travel Arc}}

After the [[December 10th Incident]], an incident where Daniel assaulted his elderly mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], while screaming "The motel threatened to kill me!" The true backstory behind this incident is unknown, but due to this, Bob would send Daniel to Los Angeles, California. This was speculated to be because of 5150 laws in California, which allow adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis to be held in psychiatric hospitalization for up to 72 hours.

In California, Daniel would visit a strip club and go to Disneyland, despite being a [[Daniel Larson's Finances|penniless]] vagrant. Most notably, Daniel would contract [[scabies]] during this time. While it is not entirely clear where he caught it from, it is very likely that this came from him sleeping outside and in porta potties. After this, Daniel would go to [[Travel Arc/Las Vegas|Las Vegas, Nevada]] after taking a bus from Palmdale, California.

== Cameo Arc ==
[[File:Cameo Review.png|left|thumb|251x251px|A dissatisfied review on Daniel's cameo account. ]]
{{main|Cameo Arc}}

The Travel Arc would finally end as Daniel left New York, returning to Denver on May 20. On May 25, the infamous [[Häagen-Dazs Incident|Haagen-Dazs Incident]] would occur, where Daniel would be kicked out of said ice cream shop following an altercation with employees.

On May 31, Daniel created a Cameo account, initially charging $30 for custom videos. Over the following month, he adjusted the prices, at times reaching over $1000 per video. Daniel eventually realized the need for lower prices to boost accessibility and increase sales, settling on $10 per video. However, the prices continued to fluctuate, occasionally going back up to $100. Despite the high prices, Daniel consistently failed to fulfill requests made by paying customers, sometimes outright ignoring them while thanking them for their money. This led to a decline in his review score, ultimately resulting in his ban from Cameo on August 16.

== Dog Arc ==
{{main|Dog Arc}}
[[File:WeenMusicPic.png|thumb|281x281px|A photo of Zola after being rescued. ]]
On July 9, 2023, Daniel adopted a German Shepherd mix named Zola from the Longmont Humane Society in [[wikipedia:Longmont,_Colorado|Longmont, Colorado]], which he renamed Music. He intended her to act as a "guard dog." Given that Daniel's history of violence towards others (and himself), many showed immediate concern. This concern soon turned to rage as footage surfaced of Daniel depriving Zola of water, combined with Daniel contemplating giving the animal nachos.

It was revealed that the Longmont Humane Society had not conducted a proper background check on Daniel, leading to them being horrified as his online history came to light.<ref>[[Longmont Humane Society Employee AMA]]</ref> 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 the premises]]. 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 the Longmont Humane Society on July 11.

The situation escalated dramatically after Music was taken from Daniel. Daniel reacted intensely, going into a Walmart, [[The 7/11 Incident|voicing his anger by destroying several stands of merchandise]]. After being released from police custody, Daniel's made 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.

== College Arc ==
[[File:Danielarrestfolsom.png|thumb|342x342px|Looks like Daniel Better Call Saul!]]
{{main|College Arc}}

On September 10th, 2023, Daniel began to announce his plans to enroll in college on his YouTube community tab, specifically stating that he would be attending CU Boulder. Subsequent community posts and a livestream followed, where Daniel discussed his enrollment process and shared details about his intended major and minor subjects. The context behind this decision involved Daniel's interactions with members of Phi Kappa Tau, a fraternity of CU Boulder students, who convinced him that he was a student. Videos of Daniel at a frat party, including ones where he promoted the fraternity, were posted on his TikTok and YouTube channel.

However, his time at the college would be short lived, as Daniel was [[Folsom Field Arrest|arrested for third-degree assault]] against a security guard on September 16, 2023. But, in a complete failure of the American justice system, he was somehow released from jail just two days later. The bodycam footage was released on September 21, 2023. Daniel was subsequently arrested again on October 3, for failing to appear in court.

On November 30, Daniel would go back to court and be sentenced to 12-month probation, 48 hours of community service, be fined, and be subject to anger management classes.

== Reverse Mohawk Arc ==
[[File:Reverse mohawk.png|left|thumb|229x229px|The face of a madman! ]]
{{main|Reverse Mohawk}}
''Further Reading: [[Timeline (2023, fourth quarter)]],'' ''[[Timeline (2024, first quarter)]]''

On October 23, 2023, [[trolls]] would give Daniel a "haircut." These trolls partially cut Daniel's hair down the middle, which was immediately dubbed as the, "Reverse Mohawk." The trolls abandoned him before finishing the haircut, claiming their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence of him having 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 probation and 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, [[Self Defense Word|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.

== UCLA Arc ==
{{main|UCLA Arc}}

Throughout January of 2024, Daniel would start attending UCLA, another college. Unbeknownst to Daniel, this was a clever scheme thought up by his manager, [[Clark]], where he was taught several false things, from "Ancient Texas" to the empress of China, Mai Coo Chee Itch. Throughout this arc, Daniel was supposed to be attending probation meetings, and even more, he had several warrants out for his arrest. Instead of tending to these very important things, he prioritized these ridiculously fake college classes.

==Jail Arc ==
[[File:Feb2024MugShot.jpeg|thumb|One of Daniel's many mugshots]]
{{main|Jail Arc}}

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]], eventually resulting in him [[Second Jail Arc|being at risk of being imprisoned for over 65 years]].

After getting [[January 5th Incident|chased around by trolls]], Daniel 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, favoring buying expensive meals he could not pay for, attending [[UCLA Arc|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 a mass shooting against post-ejection), although he would not be arrested.

Daniel was arrested once more on February 3, 2024. This was on the charge of him being a fugitive of justice, which were 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.

Four days after his release, he had a [[April 6th Meltdown|massive meltdown]] where he, in a fit of rage, made many terroristic threats toward Bob, as well as other federal agencies including a secret service agent. This would not serve him in the long run.

==Second Jail Arc==
{{Ongoing|small=left}}
[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Just look at that deadpan stare.]]
{{main|Second Jail Arc}}

On April 30, 2024, Daniel would be 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.

Daniel would be ordered to have a mental health evaluation multiple times, as the judge believed he was not competent to stand trial. On May 31, Daniel was transferred to the Englewood Federal Correction Institution. On July 19, a psychiatric report was filed. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel would be being institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility after being found incompetent for trial, as well as an attempt for further evaluation.

Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hc1xqm/daniel_transferred_to_oklahoma/</ref> He was in Oklahoma for over two weeks on his way to MCFP Springfield for his mental health evaluation and competency restoration on December 27, where he remains as of current.

Seeing as Daniel is at risk of being in prison for several decades, many have seen this as the official ending of the Daniel Larson saga.

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters.

During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communication appears to have ceased permanently with the exception of occasional letters.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024, however this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to have certain documents filed under Level 3 Restriction, sealing them from public access. Subsequently, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed in his case on April 25, 2025, followed by an additional filing on May 5, 2025.

=== Summer Lull ===
Throughout May and June 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Due to Daniel and his lawyer(s) having documents from April and early May 2025 restricted from public viewing, valuable information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or confirmation of claims which regard his current status.

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters.

During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communication appears to have ceased permanently with the exception of occasional letters.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024, however this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to have certain documents filed under Level 3 Restriction, sealing them from public access. Subsequently, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed in his case on April 25, 2025, followed by an additional filing on May 5, 2025.

=== Summer Lull ===
Throughout May and June 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Due to Daniel and his lawyer(s) having documents from April and early May 2025 restricted from public viewing, valuable information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or confirmation of his current status.

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters.

During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communication appears to have ceased permanently with the exception of occasional letters.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison.

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation.

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to have certain documents filed under Level 3 Restriction, sealing them from public access. Subsequently, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed in his case on April 25, 2025, followed by an additional filing on May 5, 2025.

=== Summer Lull ===
Throughout May and June 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Due to Daniel and his lawyer(s) having documents from April and early May 2025 restricted from public viewing, valuable information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or conformation of his current status.

}} {{Quote|I'm on the bus now to Boulder Colorado||author=[[Daniel]]'s last Community Tab post before his arrest}}[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Why the long face? ]]

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters.

During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communication appears to have ceased permanently with the exception of occasional letters.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. <gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma. With all previous details noted, Daniel was to be transferred to Cimarron within the near future.
[[File:Springfield transfer.png|left|thumb|EMERGENCY!]]

=== Christmas Eve Transfer ===
On December 24, 2024, after spending two weeks in Cimarron, Daniel called Clark stating that he had moved to Grady County Detention Center, and was put on a 23 hour hold. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hln6qj/update_daniel_moved/</ref>

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation. Known documents state that he is to go through this mental health evaluation for at least 4 months, which ended around April 10-11, 2025.

=== Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Records ===
On January 10, 2025, [[Lil Sippy]] attempted to interfere with the case against Daniel by filing a motion to unseal grand jury records regarding his case. It was denied.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref>
[[File:NewLawyerImage.png|thumb|Jeffrey Feiler, Daniel's second lawyer.]]

=== Acquisition of New Attorney ===
On April 10, 2025, Daniel was assigned a new attorney, '''Jeffrey Feiler''', who officially filed a Notice of Attorney Appearance to represent Daniel in all future legal proceedings. Feiler is an attorney whom has experience dealing with mentally ill and online-infamous clientele. The acquisition of Feiler is likely because Daniel was proven competent to stand trial.

The following day, Daniel, through his former attorney Jared Westbroek, filed a request to have certain dockets to restricted from public access.<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68494815/united-states-v-larson/</ref> On April 25, 2025, Feiler was removed from the case, and the case now appears to be moving forward.

=== Restricted Documents ===
On April 11, 2025, Daniel submitted a request to have certain documents filed under Level 3 Restriction, sealing them from public access. Subsequently, an extension request letter and a forensic report were filed in his case on April 25, 2025, followed by an additional filing on May 5, 2025.

=== Summer Pause ===
Throughout May and June 2025, updates on Daniel's condition seemed to have largely ceased. While not concretely proven, due to his mental health evaluation having ended in April 2025, it can be assumed by some that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial, though evidence does point to legal proceedings being carried out post-April. Due to Daniel and his lawyer(s) having documents from April and early May 2025 restricted from public viewing, valuable information has been withheld from Larstorians, preventing refutation or conformation of his current status.

}} {{Quote|I'm on the bus now to Boulder Colorado||author=[[Daniel]]'s last Community Tab post before his arrest}}[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Why the long face? ]]

On '''April 30, 2024,''' [[Daniel|Daniel Larson]] was [[Daniel and the Law|'''arrested''']] and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were undisclosed, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken.

Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was related to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings]], and admitted to viewing [[Pedophilia|exploitive material of children]].<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> However, according to a call made to his manager, [[Clark]], Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, carrying a maximum sentence of 65 years.

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest|less than a month prior]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond.

At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later, however there has been no communication since Daniel's transfer to Springfield.

Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which suspended for nearly four months until September. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails and letters.

During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. However, since his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, all communication appears to have ceased permanently with the exception of occasional letters.

On May 31, 2024, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution]]. He was held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and was ordered to be institutionalized on July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.

On December 6, 2024, Daniel informed [[Lil Sippy]] that he was to be transferred to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, or Springfield, in the following week. He was released from Englewood four days later and was transferred to [[wikipedia:Cimarron_Correctional_Facility|Cimarron Correctional Facility]] in Oklahoma where he stayed for two weeks. On Christmas Eve, he was transferred to Grady County Detention Center for unknown reasons, and three days later was transferred to the Springfield for further mental health evaluation. The process took four months, and ended around April 11. Based on his delusions remaining quite strong during his stay at FCI Englewood, it can be presumed that he will be deemed (like previously) incompetent to stand trial, though this cannot be assured concretely.

This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or possibly see himself institutionalized for the rest of his life. Many see this as the final blow, with his [[Plot Armor|plot armor]] truly breaking. It has also become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.<ref>[[Daniel in the media]]</ref> The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the [[November 6th Arrest]].

As of {{#time: F j, Y|Now}}, Daniel still remains in custody.

==Background==
[[File:DanielArrestWarrent.png|thumb|Warrant for Daniel's arrest. |383x383px]]
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named [[Daniel MacDougall]] began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a [[7/11 incident|destructive meltdown]] in a Walmart after having his [[Dog Arc|dog]] taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.<ref>https://archive.org/details/p1Kq9L756V8</ref>[[File:DanielLastpost.png|left|thumb|Daniel's last post before his well-deserved arrest. ]]Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.<ref>[[April 6th Meltdown]]</ref> As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]] of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cgq1rg/footage_of_the_pumphouse_incident/</ref> defrauded a [[Buffalo Wild Wings ejection|Buffalo Wild Wings]] the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed illegal material of children.<ref>[[:File:Daniels Admission.png]]</ref> [[File:April30thBookingInfo.png|thumb|"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."|left|372x372px]]

On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his [[Social Media Accounts|social media accounts]], with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.

Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the [[April 6th Meltdown]], in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!" threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, in January of the same year, Daniel [[January 26th Hospital Incident|threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital]] after having been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|kicked out]].

These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of '''65 years'''.

In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization. This was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]]. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past. While the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:

* [[July 3rd Community Tab Incident]], where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
* [[August 29th Meltdown]], where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
* [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent [[Daniel MacDougall]].
* [[March 23rd Meltdown]], where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.

==The Arrest==
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[[File:ClarkArrest.png|thumb|Looks like management Better Call Saul!|344x344px]]

===Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob===
{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated.}}

On May 3, [[Clark]], Daniel's former [[Management|manager]], reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
[[File:BobClarkText1.png|left|thumb|Text's between Clark and Bob. ]]
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the [[Christmas Day Meltdown]], Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.

After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his (at the time) final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 6]]</ref>

Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made.<ref>[[Jail Communications#May 9]]</ref> In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.<ref>[[:File:BobClarkText3.png]]</ref>

==The Charges==
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats." Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844#:~:text=Whoever%20transports%20or%20receives%2C%20or,or%20personal%20property%2C%20shall%20be</ref><ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875#:~:text=(c)-,Whoever%20transmits%20in%20interstate%20or%20foreign%20commerce%20any%20communication%20containing,than%20five%20years%2C%20or%20both.]</ref> Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially. <gallery caption="Daniel's full indictment">

==Legal proceedings and communications==

=== First jail communication ===
Shortly after being incarcerated, Daniel had a phone conversation with [[Clark]], his then manager, on May 1. As mentioned in these calls, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him [[Daniel Larson's Finances|not having the means]] to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as '''Jared Scott Westbroek.''' According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.

=== Second and third communication ===
On May 6, motivated by the interaction he had with law enforcement at his workplace, Clark [[Jail Communications#May 6|called]] Daniel, revealing that his entire existence was a lie, and everything he had done up to the point was a fallacy. This call is the most serious out of all of them, with Clark referring to it as the "most important call of his life."

On May 9, Clark reluctantly answered a phone call from Daniel after being convinced to do so, despite an earlier decision to cut contact. Daniel reached out in hopes to fix their friendship. Clark remained serious, telling Daniel he has many people to apologize to. This would be the last call Daniel would have for nearly 4 months.

===Motion for Daniel's release===
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.

These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.

As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

===May 10 Court Appearance ===
[[File:BobClarkText2.png|left|thumb|"Nothing was accomplished."|286x286px]][[File:NotGuilty.png|thumb|TLDR; He's not getting out. ]]Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.

In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.

==== Order of detention ====
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 23 Docket ===
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e0ermn/his_court_dates_were_canceled/#lightbox</ref>

=== May 27 Docket Report ===
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all of what had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration. <gallery caption="Gallery">

===May 31 Transfer ===
[[File:DanielTransfer.png|thumb|Details of his transfer. ]]
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to [[wikipedia:Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Englewood|Englewood Federal Correctional Institution,]] which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] [[wikipedia:Jared_Fogle|Jared Fogle]] is being held.

===July 19 Competency Report===
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.

Daniel was to be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024, however this did not happen.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1flnstm/court_update/</ref><gallery caption="Gallery">

=== September 7 Clark communication ===
On September 7, 2024, Clark [[Jail Communications#September 7|called]] Daniel for the first time in nearly 4 months. Daniel seems to have forgotten nearly everything they had spoken about in their last call, speaking of his delusions of being in contact with the VanderWaal family. Daniel also divulges details of his current legal situation, most notably that he was going to be transferred to a psychiatric facility in a different state sometime in the near future, and that he had been in protective custody for up to 2 months at that point.

===September 25 report & transfer request ===
A report was filed on September 25 by Daniels attorney, Jared Westbroek. He demanded that Daniel be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25, with the case to be dismissed if neither happened.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpvbx0/pacer_update_daniels_attorney_is_making_demands/#lightbox</ref> Daniel's attorney believed that he had been in jail for longer than he needed to be. This reason for this being because, at the time, mental health facilities in the area did not have any beds available. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fpylr0/the_most_recent_update_on_his_case_from_pacer/</ref>

On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fvn22q/court_update_10324/</ref> He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fy96ar/when_the_beast_is_released_what_will_wehe_do/</ref> However, staff in Daniel's jail said that he will not be transferred anytime soon, as he is not even on the list and there are no beds available. If he is not transferred to Springfield by December 31, 2024, the case will be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1gfrzu3/1030_sippy_cup_live_wmr_president_call/</ref>

===Canceled & future hearings===
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024. Before it could happen, it was ordered to be vacated, and Daniel was to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November. <ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e55plg/update_competency_hearing_set_for_9232024/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1e52a09/only_3_counts_of_7_now/</ref> This re-evaluation did not happen.

=== Lil Sippy jail communications ===
In additional correspondence from jail to [[Lil Sippy]], a convicted criminal Daniel acquainted himself with, Daniel provided updates on his current situation and experiences. Daniel continued to double down on his [[delusions]], threaten to sue the US Government, claim [[Bob]] was ruining his life, ask Sippy sexual questions over mail, and demand his release from jail. More importantly, Daniel admits that he had not spoken to his lawyer since early August 2024.[[File:NewJailtext.png|thumb|279x279px|[[Celebrity in the Hospital Incident|THERE IS A CELEBRITY IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL!]]]]
=== Final FCI Englewood Correspondence ===
On December 1, 2024, Daniel would make his last call at FCI Englewood. In his final call to Clark, Daniel claims to have been [[Daniel and Sex#Rape|raped]] by a previous cellmate of his.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 1]]</ref> The validity of this claim has not been confirmed, but it can be assumed this accusation of assault is false, considering Daniels record of falsely accusing [[Ryan|others]] of assaulting him.

=== December 10 Transfer ===
On December 6, 2024, Daniel replied to an email from Lil Sippy that he was packing up and awaiting transfer to Springfield within the next week.<ref>[[Jail Communications#December 6 Emails]]</ref> 4 days later, Daniel was found to not be in BOP custody.<ref>https://archive.ph/WrKc4</ref> It was confirmed by [[Flexburger]] that Daniel was transferred out of FCI Englewood on December 10, 2024 and had been booked into [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimarron_Correctional_Facility Cimarron Correctional Facility] in Payne County, Oklahoma.

=== December 27 Transfer ===
On December 27, 2024, Daniel was found to be back in BOP custody. He was transferred to the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]], also known as MCFP Springfield. He was sent to Springfield with the intention of getting a mental health evaluation.
