TikToker wrongly spent a month in jail because he looked like a suspect TIKTOK: pvanny_A TikToker went viral after claiming he was wrongly jailed for a month because he was mistaken for a suspect. In a series of two videos, content creator Peyton (pvanny_) explained how he was falsely arrested and imprisoned for \u201clike 30 days,\u201d due to a case of mistaken identity. The first clip garnered over 176,000 views, as he introduced what he claims occurred. \u201cI\u2019ve been in jail for the last, like, 30 days and I didn\u2019t do anything which is why I was released,\u201d he began. \u201cSo what\u2019s up with this whole Laurel vs. Yanni thing? What did I miss?\u201d he joked in the 13-second clip. TikTok users in the comments begged Peyton for a follow-up with more details about the incident, and he complied the next day with a story time video. TikToker explains how he was wrongly jailed In his second video, which amassed 2 million views, Peyton explained that he was stopped by police because they thought he looked like a suspect in a robbery case. He said the cops showed him a picture of the suspect, and while he admitted he did look like him, Peyton noted that he couldn\u2019t have committed the robbery, because he was at an audition on the night of the crime. Peyton also offered to show the video of his audition to the police, and even put them in touch with the people conducting the audition. The cops seemed understanding, but as Peyton was \u201cthe only guy in the area\u201d that looks like the suspect, he was asked to come to the station to \u201cfigure this out.\u201d \u201cYeah, we didn\u2019t figure it out. At all, actually,\u201d the TikToker said. \u201cThey ended up taking me to county jail, and I was there illegally for, like, 30 days with a bond of $10,000.\u201d Peyton admitted he can\u2019t reveal more details about the case, as he is currently pursuing legal action against the police department. \u201cI am going to be suing them. Oh, absolutely I\u2019m going to be suing them. The f**k out of them,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
