Police have issued a new warrant for a YouTuber with 17 million subscribers after shocking bodycam footage was released.
Known online as PopularMMO, the YouTuber’s real name is Patrick Julianelle and he is well known for his gaming content, especially Minecraft.
However, in November 2024, fans were shocked when Julianelle appeared in court to plead guilty to assaulting a police officer.
And now six months later, the bodycam footage of the content creator’s arrest has been released to the public.

This is because the authorities are reportedly searching for Julianelle after he violated his parole.
In the which, which was posted to YouTube earlier this week by EWU Bodycam, Julianelle can be seen lying on the sidewalk underneath a street light.
The 35-year-old YouTuber was then approached by police officers who had been called to do a wellness check on him.
At first, Julianelle apologized to the officers and admitted that he’d had ‘too much’ to drink.
He was allowed to sit in the police cruiser while his phone charged.
During this time, police searched his backpack where they found ‘weed and a ton of Fireball’.
While being questioned, Julianelle told the officers that they would have to ‘talk to his lawyer’, claiming that he was too ‘drunk’ to answer properly and that he doesn’t smoke.
At this point, the police officers tried to place Julianelle in handcuffs which caused him to attempt to flee the scene.
He was quickly apprehended, with the officers noting that he was ‘resisting with violence’.
Julianelle was charged with resisting with violence and possession of marijuana under 20 grams and after taking a plea deal, he was sentenced to 12 months probation and 100 hours of community service.
The YouTuber was also required to have a mandatory substance abuse evaluation and follow-up treatment, as well as donating $1,000 to the Police Memorial Foundation and to write a letter of apology to the officer he had assaulted.
However, Julianelle was later arrested again in February this year for violating his parole after a urine sample tested positive for drug use.
Now, a new warrant has been issued for his arrest after a drug test came back positive for both alcohol and marijuana use.
Julianelle was previously arrested back in 2022 with two friends after one of them ran into the field of a Jacksonville Jaguars football game.
In 2021, the YouTuber was arrested for domestic battery but the charge was later dropped.
