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.”

YouTuber @Boogie2988 currently has a warrant out for his arrest in Washington County, AR for "Aggravated Assault." The Bond is set at $5,000. No telling at this point what the circumstances of this charge entail. We'll cover it tomorrow on Tequila Sunrise. https://t.co/eRmEIlzuzG pic.twitter.com/WlS0rHMQ7R

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.”

So news circulating around me: can’t really comment for obvious reason. Thank you and anyone for support in this situation tho. I am gonna do the right thing and do it by the book. Glad to cooperate with authorities. Heading home today to do so.
