Twitch Star Duke Dennis Arrested During Game of Hide-and-Seek

San Antonio, Texas — Popular Twitch streamer Duke Dennis was arrested Saturday night while playing hide-and-seek inside a local shopping mall. Dennis, a member of the AMP collective, faces charges of criminal trespass and evading arrest after police responded to a disturbance report.

Footage of the arrest shows the 31-year-old YouTuber in handcuffs, seated on the floor surrounded by police, while fellow AMP member Kai Cenat filmed the incident from a nearby elevated location. According to authorities, the game occurred after the mall’s closing hours, making the activity illegal.

Witnesses claim the duo ignored warnings from mall security to vacate the premises. When police arrived, Dennis reportedly ran from officers, leading to his arrest alongside another individual who allegedly interfered with law enforcement.

Dennis was detained on charges classified under Texas law, which states that criminal trespassing involves entering or remaining on another’s property without permission, especially after being asked to leave. Evading arrest applies when an individual intentionally flees from officers attempting to detain them.

The Twitch star was released the following evening after posting bond of approximately $2,000 for both charges. Cenat was not charged during the incident and has continued his social media activity without legal issues.

The episode has sparked various reactions across social media, ranging from concern about Dennis’s wellbeing to humor about the unusual circumstances surrounding the arrest. Many followers expressed disbelief that a casual game could escalate into legal trouble.

This incident represents an uncommon legal setback in Dennis’s otherwise successful career, as he has been recognized among the influential creators of 2024. While he has yet to comment publicly on the arrest, his fans are keenly watching for further developments as Dennis navigates the aftermath.
