Was Angry Grandma arrested? TikTok star theft arrest video goes viral

A recent short clip shared on Angry Grandma’s official accounts suggests that the well-known TikToker and YouTuber was recently arrested. 

The content creator, known for uploading prank videos with her grandson Jake, is seen in the back seat of a vehicle in the latest video.

Angry Grandma is seen wearing a Santa Claus costume, while the video implies that she was taken into custody for theft.

A screenshot of police records also states that the 81-year-old is also charged with "breaking and entering." 

An Instagram user, @mickleycheryl, commented under the clip to confirm whether it was a joke, as they wrote:

“PLEEEESE TEL ME THIS IS NOT REAL!! WE NEED OUR-ANGRY GRANDMA. I have cancer, but I never laughed so hard in my life. Please free her!! My happy savior in life. Laughter frees the soul!!!!! Better not be real!!!!!!! 😡” 

Another user, @henrydawson772, confirmed that it was indeed a joke and the TikTok star was not actually arrested. The viral recording indicates that the video was shot on September 6, 2023.

The booking date on the police records is December 25, 2023. Neither the viral video nor the official records hint at Angry Grandma’s recent detention.    

Like other clips on the content creator’s official accounts, the arrest video also appears to be a prank.
