Kick Streamer N3on Briefly Detained After Swatting Hoax During Los Angeles Livestream

Deputies determined the 911 report was bogus, leaving without making arrests.

Overview

  • Deputies confronted N3on on March 22 while he streamed on Melrose Avenue with friend Benjy Chavez.
  • A false 911 call alleged people were trying to shoot up the area, triggering the police response.
  • Officers ordered the pair to stop and get on the ground, and video shows N3on kneeling with his hands behind his head.
  • They were detained only briefly before deputies concluded it was a swatting hoax, and no arrests or charges were reported.
  • The streamer was similarly targeted in October during a 24/7 home broadcast that prompted a temporary city filming ban, and no caller has been publicly identified.
