Why was controversial YouTuber Quantum TV arrested?

Following his arrest, controversial YouTuber Quantum TV has recently become embroiled in legal trouble, quickly gaining widespread attention within the online community. The content creator has gained a reputation for claiming ownership via copyright claims over many videos created by others. Notably, he was engaged in a longstanding feud with fellow YouTuber Kelly, also known as "The Act Man."

Today, on April 24, a Twitter user with the handle @rambotweety1 shared a screenshot of a public record disclosing Quantum TV's arrest. The post stated that the YouTuber has been charged with a first-degree felony for domestic violence.

The exact definition and punishment for first-degree felonies can vary depending on the jurisdiction. In most cases, a conviction for a first-degree felony can result in a lengthy prison sentence, hefty fines, and a criminal record that can impact an individual's personal and professional life.

YouTuber Quantum TV jailed, bond set at $500

The post states that the YouTuber was arrested on April 14, 2023, with further details about the case shared under the original tweet. The post states that the YouTuber has a bond amount set at $500.

Bond and bail generally refer to the same thing in the context of a legal arrest. Both terms refer to the amount of money or property that a defendant must post as collateral to secure their release from jail before their trial.

The court has scheduled Quantum TV's hearing, which is set to take place on May 30, 2023, at the Criminal Justice Center in Sanford.

A censored version of the reported incident is available. According to the records, Quantum TV had allegedly physically harmed an unnamed woman and prevented her from contacting law enforcement.

He has also been accused of attempting to "move funds" from the victim's bank account. The victim suffered some lacerations to her hand after the incident.

The YouTuber uploaded a video yesterday (April 23), indicating that he may be out on bail until his court hearing next month.
