Daniel and the Law: Difference between revisions

As of 2025, Daniel has been to jail a whopping number of '''7''' times, four for being a [[Jail Arc|fugitive of justice]] after repeatedly not attending court, two for assault, one of which being to [[November 6th Arrest|his own mother]], and one time on federal charges, specifically making terroristic threats against the government.  

Daniel's plot armor with the law seemed to finally shatter on [[April 30th Arrest|April 30, 2024]], when he was arrested while at a probation meeting in Boulder, Colorado. Afterwards, [[Second Jail Arc|he was charged with seven counts of making threats]], and is at risk of spending up to 65 years in federal prison if found guilty on all charges. Ever since his arrest, he has been in the federal prison system. He was institutionalized at MCFP Springfield to restore competency for trial on December 27, 2024, and remains there as of this very day.  

As with many other things, Daniel has a very limited understanding of the law and how it's enforced. Daniel legitimately believes trolling is illegal, and regularly threatens unspecified legal actions against people who say mean things about him online, expose him for [[Pedophilia|pedophilic behavior]], or [[List of places that have banned Daniel|employees who remove or ban him from establishments.]]  

Daniel himself is prone to making violent threats, such as threatening to kill [[Bob Proctor]] on several occasions and even [[Daniel MacDougall]], as well as threatening to blow up with White House<ref>[[Dog Arc]]</ref> which are, of course, illegal to make. Daniel is also prone to calling the police for ridiculous reasons, such as when he (albeit, allegedly) screamed that he had a bomb to a 911 operator after [[Music]] was taken from him, as well as demanding police officers to [[Call Fucking Dispatch|"CALL FUCKING DISPATCH!"]] in response to him being trolled online. Interestingly, Daniel seems to have a rather skewed view of the idea of "self-defense". During several fights with [[Bob]] or [[Bodega Incident|others]], he is often the one to start altercations opposed to protecting himself whenever they happen.  

On November 6, 2017, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested for third-degree assault]] after getting into a physical altercation with his wheelchair bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]], which ended up with him being sent to jail for 44-45 days. It is unknown what caused this situation, however, Daniel claims that it was aggravated after his mother allegedly cornered him, causing him to push her to the side.  On this day, Daniel also received charges for instances of property damage and criminal mischief. What happened to cause these charges is unknown and will most likely stay unknown.

In November 2020, Daniel was reported to the FBI following the discovery and leaking of his [[Pinterest|Pinterest account]]. His Pinterest account contained several saved pictures of children, as well as a map of the age of consent in the United States. Several TikTok users, most notably [[The Delegation Podcast]], were under the assumption that Daniel was under the possession of illegal images of minors, which resulted in him being reported to the FBI as a result.<ref>[[Classic Era]]</ref> These reports  sparked the first [[The Dark Ages|Dark Age,]] where Daniel left the internet for 3 1/2 months, coming back to TikTok in March 2021.  

On August 13, 2021, Daniel was charged with destruction of property for smashing the window of a car.<ref>https://www.denvercountycourt.org/search/?casenumber=21GS005165&firstname=DANIEL&lastname=LARSON&dob=11/15/1998&token=46feb0f272&searchtype=searchcancelwarrant</ref>

On May 13, 2022, Daniel was charged with petty theft, based on the location of the violation: "500 16TH ST #120". It appears to be the location of a Hard Rock Café, suggesting it was a target of one of Daniel's [[dine and dashes]].<gallery>

On June 9, 2022, a criminal mischief case was opened against Daniel. This led to Daniel going on multiple tirades about his case manager, Andrew. After failing to appear once, the warrant was executed when he was arrested during his [[Homeless Arc#Not the End|October 16th tantrum]]. Daniel was appointed a public defender on October 25, 2022 with his "plea and setting hearing" on November 28.<gallery>

On August 4, 2022, Daniel uploaded a video announcing that he had gotten all of his warrants taken care of by "merging it all into one case", saying that it should all be cleared up within the month.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7128225641064975659</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/7128224082675551534</ref> While its validity is unclear, it is most likely that his cases were merged into one individual case due to Daniel repeatedly not showing up for them when ordered to.  

On October 16, 2022, a new case was opened for Daniel for destruction of property. The details of this are unknown, and it is unclear as to what happened to cause this. Daniel failed to appear on December 20, 2022, and several other times after that. Eventually, his warrant was canceled on June 21, 2023.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14fkg1t/the_weasel_actually_did_get_his_warrant_canceled/</ref>

On January 19, 2023, Daniel was arrested for attempting to [[Dine and dashes|dine and dash]] at a Cheesecake Factory in Anaheim, California. Daniel was charged with "defrauding an innkeeper" and received a $950 fine.

 

[[The 7/11 Incident|As noted]], on July 11, 2023, Daniel walked into a local Walmart in a fit of rage after having the dog he adopted, Music, rescued from him. He proceeded to destroy several stands of merchandise, as well as attempting to hijack a bus full of elderly people, smashing the leash he had bought earlier into one of the bus's windows. This ended up in Daniel being pinned to the floor by several police officers while he cried hysterically about Music being "dognapped."

On July 11, 2023, the same day as the 7/11 Incident, Daniel [[Video:Daniel Larson calls for security|livestreamed]] an interaction he had with EMTs after calling 911 multiple times. While he was in the ambulance a police officer was able to charge him $500 for damages to a wall at the School of Mines. Daniel quickly admitted to his crimes claiming he damaged the wall to make sure he was heard, that "this was serious".

On September 14, 2023, Daniel announced he would be appearing in court the following day in a YouTube short and several community posts.<ref>https://archive.org/details/i-have-court-tomorrow</ref> This was an arraignment for two misdemeanors at the Jefferson County Court in Golden, Colorado to which he turned up late. It is uncertain what exactly the charges were but he claimed that the maximum sentence was two years in jail. Daniel would plead not guilty, likely to buy him some time and hope for a good plea bargain. His next appearance in court would be set as October 31, 2023, for a pre-trial conference.

On September 16, 2023, while at UC Boulder, Daniel struck a security officer after being denied access to the football field, under the impression that he would meet coach Deion Sanders. He was arrested for third-degree assault, and spent two days in jail before being released on September 18. He had a court hearing the same day, which was not livestreamed due to trolls joining and trolling the courthouse.
