TikTok star Icy Wyatt - a.k.a. Wyatt Yeager – may know a thing or two about racking up millions of views and followers, yet he recently went viral for all the wrong reasons as cringe-inducing footage depicting his March 2022 arrest began making the rounds online.
Footage from the incident, in which the social media star was booked for several purported crimes including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery hit the web, depicting the then 23-year-old displaying quite the attitude as he interacted with police officers.
“Put your hands out the window,” said the cops who reportedly followed the star to a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Sunrise, Florida after he was allegedly driving his pink Mercedes erratically, which ultimately lead to an argument in which Wyatt reportedly pointed a gun at the officers. “Get out of the car.”
“Don’t you know who I am?” he fired back. Yeager was ultimately tased and handcuffed.
Though shortly after his arrest, Yeager took to social media to offer his perspective on the ordeal – “Sunrise county police in Broward county ambushed me in my neighborhood hours after I had called for help in a road rage incident earlier in the day,” he wrote on Twitter, claiming that authorities “didn’t send anyone to help me but came to my house hours later and help me at gunpoint” – he recently reiterated his side amid the video’s viral spread.

“I was going to show you guys at some point, but I just wasn’t ready to show you,” he said. “People are just saying like the nastiest things without knowing the backstory of it all and I know my real fans know my backstory.”
So take it from Icy Wyatt – if you have you have to ask “Do you know who I am,” you’re probably not in the right.
