“The UK Is So Dead Man”: Equestrian Community Rages as Popular YouTuber Gets Arrested at Ascot Racecourse

YouTubers have it rough these days. Recently one popular YouTuber in the UK found himself in trouble with the authorities and was later arrested. Since his arrest on June 25, the internet has been in an uproar. It is still unclear what led to the incident, but netizens believe that it was an undue show of force from the police.

JMX, whose real name Joel Morris is a FIFA YouTuber from England who has a popular YouTube channel called “Jam.” JMX was attending the Royal Ascot on Sunday, a prestigious horse racing event in the UK that members of the royal family and other high-profile individuals attend. Not to mention it is one of the most distinguished events in the British social scene. JMX was taken into custody for an apparent ban imposed on him. However, the reason was later altered to a more serious charge.

Police accosted the 25-year-old YouTuber at the Royal Ascot on the grounds of alleged disorderly conduct. The police escorted him out of the prestigious event in handcuffs, placed him in a police van, and transported him away from the scene. A video has since then surfaced and has been making the rounds on the internet. The video captured visible distress among fellow young attendees who were also present at the scene. Dexerto, a UK-based digital media company, also contacted the Thames Valley police seeking additional information regarding the arrest.

The Thames Valley police finally released an official statement stating that they took Joel Morris into custody due to their suspicion of him being drunk and disorderly.
