Blueface Arrested After Swatting Call During Kick Livestream

The arrest underscores legal exposure for people on probation when police respond to bogus emergency calls.

Overview

  • Deputies say they responded to a 911 report of a man with a gun at a Valencia business on Monday and later determined the call was a bogus swatting report.
  • Law enforcement detained several people during the livestream and arrested Blueface after officials say he refused police commands and delayed the investigation.
  • The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office booked Blueface on a misdemeanor allegation of delaying or obstructing deputies as part of the Oct. 19 response.
  • Video from the Kick stream shows the confrontation in real time and captures Blueface’s fiancée Chrisean Rock visibly upset after his detention.
  • The incident follows multiple similar false calls this year to locations where Blueface streams and could carry added legal risk because he remains on probation from a 2022 shooting case while investigators seek the caller’s identity.
