Following the shooting incident in September last year involving YouTuber Booogie2988, which led to the Boogie2988 Pointing a Gun meme, the Washington County, Arkansas sheriff’s department has now issued a warrant for his arrest, citing aggravated assault.

Boogie, whose real name is Steven Williams, was involved in an altercation with YouTuber Frank Hassle last September where Williams ultimately fired a warning shot in the air after Hassle came to his house and knocked on his door. Leading up to this incident, Hassle posted several tweets about Williams that he described as “dehumanizing.”


According to the Arkansas sheriff’s department website, the warrant was issued on May 7th with a bond set at $5,000. Late last night, the news began spreading on Twitter as prominent individuals like Keemstar tweeted about it into the early hours today.

In one tweet, Keemstar said he spoke on the phone with Boogie after hearing the news and stated that he “already arranged with his attorney to turn himself in on Wednesday.” Additionally, he confirmed that it was related to the shooting incident last summer.


Williams also confirmed the news himself, thanking his supporters for sticking by him throughout the events but also adding that he couldn’t comment much more on the warrant “for obvious reasons.”


Shortly after, Frank Hassle also tweeted about the warrant alongside the mugshot found on the site, stating, “I hope he gets the help he needs.”

Isn't this to do with the guy that keeps harassing him at his house after repeated warnings? If so, then at this point he's absolutely just defending a home invasion. Damn 'Tubers don't get that poking someone you think's a lolcow gets you the horns.

>I hope he gets the help he needs
Man, absolutely fuck Frank Hassle.

Don't get me wrong, I don't watch Boogie or enjoy his content, but Frank's a neckbeard MDE stan and wannabe Sam Hyde. His entire thing is literally just harassing random people. Look him up on YouTube.

This is the kind of guy he is, this he what he does.

He went to the home of a known, self-admitted mentally ill dude to harass him, then got told by said mentally ill dude he was going to shoot him if he steps into his house. Then he went back the next day. AFTER being told by the dude he was going to kill him.
Frank's lucky he didn't get fucking killed, but moreover he's a massive cunt for baiting Boogie like this then going all "smh he needs help". He's relying on the fact most people don't know who he is or what he does, because that's obviously an empty statement if you're so much as vaguely familiar with the guy.
