A YouTuber was shot by a man who was the target of his prank. Here are 5 other times YouTuber's pranks ended badly.

Tanner Cook, 21, of the YouTube channel, Classified Goons, was shot in the abdomen on Sunday while filming a prank video at the Dulles Town Center Mall in Dulles, Virginia.

Police arrested Alan Colie, 31, and charged him with aggravated malicious wounding, shooting in the commission of a felony, and discharging firearms within an occupied building. Colie is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, according to the sheriff's office. He appeared in court on Monday and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for May, Insider reported.

Cook's father, Jeramy Cook told Insider that his son's gallbladder had to be removed during surgery and said he was on heavy medication to deal with the pain, but he hopes to make a full recovery.

But this isn't the first time a YouTube prank ended badly.

YouTuber, Kanghua Ren, also known as ReSet, was sentenced to 15 months in jail in June 2019 and fined €20,000 after feeding a homeless man toothpaste inside an Oreo cookie as part of a prank video, causing the man to vomit.

Ren's YouTube channel had around 1.2 million subscribers at the time.

Ren was convicted of "violating the moral integrity" of the homeless man in his video, The New York Times reported. Ren removed the video shortly after uploading it, but a judge said he still made around €2,000 in ad revenue before it went down, The Times reported at the time.

The Stokes Twins — Alan and Alex Stokes — pleaded guilty to charges of false imprisonment and reporting false emergencies in March 2021 after staging fake bank robberies as a prank in October 2019, Insider previously reported.

The twins — who have a YouTube following of 19.8 million subscribers — were arrested in August 2020 in connection with the prank, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said in a statement at the time.

Prosecutors accused the brothers of dressing in all black with ski masks and carrying duffle bags full of cash as they pretended to run away after robbing a bank, CBS reported. Then, the brothers called an unsuspecting Uber driver who refused to drive them, officials said.

A judge sentenced each brother to 160 hours of community service and one-year probation, according to Variety. The judge told the brothers to "stop making videos that mimic criminal behavior," the outlet reported at the time.

Police arrested YouTuber, King Cid, in February 2022 and charged him with "misuse 911," a third-degree felony, according to an arrest warrant previously obtained by Insider. Cid, whose real name is Jason Cid, has more than 2.4 million YouTube subscribers on his channel.

Cid uploaded a video of the prank to his YouTube channel called "Coke Prank on Cops" in which he said he intended to call police to the scene, who would find a suspect behaving in a way consistent with someone who was selling drugs. When police arrived and searched the car, they found the trunk full of Coca-Cola, not cocaine.

Cid posted a bond of $2,500 on February 3, 2022, according to court documents. Cid's case is listed as "pending," Broward County Court records show.

Former Coral Springs Police Department chief Clyde Parry, in a video posted to Twitter at the time, said he was "personally offended by the waste of resources."

YouTube prankster Charles Ross, who has around 3.4 million subscribers on his channel Vlog Creations, has been arrested at least six different times due to his social media antics, according to The Washington Post.

Police first arrested Ross in 2012 when he was 18 years old for jumping over two police officers who were sitting on a park bench, a stunt that he filmed and posted to YouTube which later garnered millions of views, The Post reported. That charge was, however, dismissed after he made an agreement with prosecutors, according to the Post.

Police arrested Ross on April 3, 2019, and charged him with impersonating a police officer, which is punishable by up to five years in prison, according to the outlet. Court records said that Ross approached a woman in Sarasota Florida on April Fool's Day in 2019 wearing a "blue uniform with gold chevrons" and attempted to write her a parking ticket, according to The Post, citing police records.

Ross took a plea deal in that case later that year and was placed on probation for six months for unlawful use of a badge, a misdemeanor, according to ABC7.

A spokesperson for YouTube told The Post that they did not believe Ross's video was ever uploaded to the site.

Nas EBK, a New Jersey YouTuber who has nearly 40,000 subscribers, was arrested on February 21, 2023 after police said he pulled a knife on a ShopRite employee while filming a prank video, according to NorthJersey.com

Police said they found Nas EBK, whose real name is Nasir Valenzuela, after another influencer, Buba100x, posted a video of the altercation to Instagram, Patch reported.

Police said they charged Valenzuela with possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, terroristic threats, simple assault, and disorderly conduct, according to Patch.

His attorney could not be reached for comment.
