- YouTube star Airrack organized a revenge prank for one played on him by MrBeast
- It took place in North Carolina where Mr. Beast lives
YouTube megastar MrBeast is handcuffed and arrested by police officers who stopped him in his Tesla and then threw him into a cell without food or water.
The popular 25-year-old content creator, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, was the subject of a revenge plot by fellow YouTuber Airrack over a prank played on him more than a year ago.
Donaldson pranked Airrack, whose real name is Eric Decker, by having one of his producers pretend to quit in order to join the crew of MrBeast.
Decker said he was embarrassed when the skit unfolded and decided to organize an even more elaborate prank.
He asked the New York City Police Department for help in convincing Donaldson that he was going to jail.

The plan didn’t go through in New York, so they decided to move it to North Carolina, where Mr. Beast lives.
The video, which has been viewed more than two million times on YouTube, shows officers stopping MrBeast’s Tesla.
Officers told him it was the car’s tinted windows, but then said they had a warrant out for his arrest for “transmitting threats.”
MrBeast is seen exiting the vehicle and then being handcuffed by officers.
He seemed amused at first, but when an officer helped him into the back seat of his car and asked if anyone had threatened him recently, he refused to speak.
After that, he was put in a detention cell, denied food and water, and made to wait for a long time.

MrBeast was then told he was allowed to make his only call.
Instead, officers dialed Airrack’s number.
He then revealed to MrBeast that the arrest was actually a prank.
“I’ve been told there’s someone here who needs to talk to you,” the police officer is heard saying over the phone.
He then handed the phone over to MrBeast for the big reveal.
Airrack said, “Hey, do you need anything?”
MrBeast replied that he needed his lawyer.
Airrack replied, “James said he was talking to Alan.” [MrBeast’s lawyer] at the moment.’
He then said he had a message from his “Alan” and prompted MrBeast to look into the officer’s bodycam.
“Alan says to look into the officer’s body cam and say, ‘I just got on ‘Get Got,'” Airrack said.
At this point it became clear that this was a prank.
MrBeast later admitted in the clip that he thought the prank was real.
“I thought this might be a prank.” I thought that’s a lot of resources for a prank. When I got there, I thought, okay, wait. Maybe it’s not a prank, he said.
