[[File:Feb2024MugShot.jpeg|thumb|Daniel's mugshot from his evasion of justice charge. ]]The '''Jail Arc,''' or the '''First Jail Arc,''' was a period of time when [[Daniel Larson]] was placed in jail for almost a month following charges of evasion of justice. | |||
On February 3, 2024, [[Daniel Larson]] was arrested for evasion of justice and placed in the Arapahoe County Jail following multiple failures to appear in court. He was transferred to Boulder County Jail on February 14, and the arc ended after he spent a total of four weeks in jail, when he was released on a year of probation on March 1, 2024. However, this would not be the last time he would be arrested in 2024. Daniel would be [[March 19th Arrest|arrested the next month]], and again on [[April 2nd Arrest|April 2]] for the same charges, and again on [[Second Jail Arc|April 30]], although this time it was for federal charges. | |||

== Background == | |||
In the previous month, Daniel was [[Denver International Airport Arrest|arrested at the Denver International Airport]] for his multiple active warrants after getting into a confrontation with an officer. Following his arrest, he was released on a PR (personal recognizance) bond, a special type of unpaid bond introduced as part of Colorado's 2021 bail reform that is granted exclusively by judges for typically non-violent or trusted inmates who would not be able to post bond otherwise, despite the fact that Daniel is a [[Daniel's Criminal History|repeat and violent offender]] who regularly does not show up to court.<ref>https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb21-1280</ref><ref>https://freedomaustin.com/what-is-a-pr-bond-should-you-get-one/</ref> | |||
Even though Daniel was provided an exceptionally lenient arrangement by the court, he still purposely failed to show up to his hearings for weeks, instead favoring to attend fake [[College Arc#Early Start|UCLA college classes]] and focus on his '[[Music Career|career]]' as a celebrity. His repeated failures to appear in court resulted in a warrant for his arrest being issued on January 23, 2024. Daniel was eventually arrested on February 3 for evasion of justice. | |||
