Influencer and streamer BenDaDonnn has been arrested in College Station, Texas after he was tased following a wild day out at a college football game.
The 34-year-old, whose real name is Benius Beard and is based in Miami, was booked into Brazos County Jail on a charge of evading arrest or detention in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Footage of the incident shows police officers tasing him before placing him in handcuffs. A man who claimed to be Beard’s security guard was also arrested at the scene.
The College Station Police Department said in a statement they were trying to clear patrons from a roadway in front of a bar after Texas A&M’s win over Arkansas earlier in the evening.
The officers came across a group who allegedly refused to follow their instructions.
When their demands continued to be ignored, Beard’s security guard allegedly slapped an officer’s hands as they tried to detain the streamer.

It’s then alleged the officer used their taser – which they described as a ‘less-lethal tool – as Beard allegedly tried to flee the scene.
As police attempted to take Beard into custody his supposed security guard, Kenny Carter, is alleged to have pushed an officer. That led to his arrest as well on a Interference with Public Duties charge.
It came after a crazy few hours for Beard at Kyle Field as he watched the Aggies beat the Razorbacks 34-7.
First he filmed himself stood on the sideline reacting to an Aggies touchdown that was then posted onto Texas A&M’s official football X account.
Footage then showed Beard attempting to enter the Aggies’ locker room at halftime, only for him to be kicked out by a coach in awkward scenes.
‘Your team is the one who invited me,’ he could be heard saying in his protests to Aggies staffers. ‘Yeah, I know you don’t know,’ he added.
‘I really don’t give a f***. Ya’ll players brought me in there,’ he then said as he was marched outside the locker room. Beard has 1.4 million followers on TikTok and 46.1 million likes.
