Jake Paul could face a year in jail over criminal charges related to Arizona looting Twitter, @JakePaulJust days after being cleared on all charges involving his alleged May 2020 looting spree, Jake Paul is back in trouble \u2014this time with city-level charges being pressed against him. If you think of internet entertainers as constantly being involved with some sort of controversy, the Paul brothers are probably towards the top of that list. The case of Jake Paul\u2019s May 2020 Federal charges after an alleged looting spree in a Scottsdale, Arizona shopping mall is no different. Jake responded to the allegations of looting, stating that his crew was at the location to \u201cpeacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen.\u201d Going on in his statement posted to Twitter, he stated: \u201cHowever, I do not condone violence, looting or breaking the law.\u201d The YouTuber\u2019s statement was taken lightly, due to video of him allegedly taking a bottle of vodka from a PF Chang\u2019s restaurant the day before. Jake Paul\u2019s criminal charges In early June 2020, just days after the Jake Paul\u2019s incident on May 30, he was charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly by the United States FBI. Just two months later, the FBI proceeded to raid the YouTube star\u2019s home. The raid \u2014 which was done during a house party at the star\u2019s home \u2014 was done in an attempt to find information regarding his alleged looting, but instead, they found guns scattered across Paul\u2019s back yard, all of which were confiscated. Charges cleared \u2014 For a few days at least After over a year of almost no news regarding the looting incident, it was finally reported in mid August 2021 that the US Attorney has opted to drop all charges against the Jake Paul crew. \u201cBased upon the investigation and evidence available at this time, the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Arizona is not pursuing federal charges against Jake Paul for his conduct,\u201d they said in an official statement. However, Jake Paul\u2019s not quite out of the woods yet. According to TMZ, the city of Scottsdale, AZ has decided to refile charges against the YouTuber. The charges from the city should come as no surprise, as they had dropped them last year to allow the feds to pursue their own charges. Jake is due in Scottsdale court on September 6, and if convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of one year in jail. What could this mean for the amateur boxer? Jake Paul \u2014also known for his newfound amateur boxing interests\u2014 is due to fight Tyron Woodley on August 29, just over a week before he\u2019s due in court for his alleged looting charges. While the fight will not be affected by the new city-level charges, the YouTuber may likely have to postpone checking more opponents off of his \u201chit list.\u201d Read More: Top 20 most followed Twitch streamers – Posted on his Twitter on August 14, the amateur boxer also made it a point to include his older brother, Logan Paul, on the bottom of the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
