Kick streamer breaks into house during Hurricane Milton, arrested by Florida police on grounds of armed burglary and resisting an officer

A Kick streamer, who goes by the username Shoovy, has been arrested in Florida after he broke into a house during Hurricane Milton. This comes a day after Adin Ross tacitly offered content creators on the platform $70,000 to chase the devastating hurricane that has led authorities to give evacuation orders to various areas in the state.

Mugshots of Shoovy from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office have started circulating online. According to the agency's official website, the streamer was taken into custody on two criminal charges — armed burglary and resisting arrest. While the armed burglary charge contains no bond, the content creator is being held on a $1,000 bond for resisting an officer without violence.

Watch: Kick streamer Shoovy gets arrested on camera for breaking into a home during Hurricane Milton

While storm chasing is not illegal, breaking into houses during a hurricane is a punishable offense. That is exactly why Kick streamer Shoovy was arrested; he entered a condo while broadcasting the act on his channel in Florida. The ensuing police interaction, where a team of officers arrested the streamer in the house, was also caught on camera.

At the beginning of the one-minute-long clip, law enforcement officers can be heard ordering Shoovy to get down from the stairwell he was standing on. The Kick streamer immediately shouted that his hands were up:

"My hands are up."

A policeman then ordered him to put his phone down:

"Get down here, right now! Or I will f**k you up. Get down, get down, put your phone."

The content creator was also told to get on the ground:

"On the ground, now!"

Shoovy can be heard saying "I'm on the ground" as an officer appeared to restrain him. The Kick stream cut out at this point, with a default "connection lost" feed playing.

The content creator's channel was taken down sometime afterward, and as per the records, the streamer is currently in custody for multiple counts of criminal offenses.

Kick streamers have been the subject of much scrutiny recently after several personalities affiliated with the platform were accused of pestering Twitch content creators and staff members at the 2024 TwitchCon in San Diego last month.
