MrBeast’s mugshot has resurfaced online after the YouTuber was previously arrested for speed racing.

The content creator has faced controversy in recent months after his co-host, Ava Kris Tyson, was hit with allegations of grooming, which she denies.

MrBeast - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - addressed this in a tweet where he revealed that he’d hired an independent third party to investigate.

At the time, he wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson's behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”

Last week, Donaldson shared an update, saying that the investigation had concluded.

He added: “The lawfirm/investigators reviewed millions of documents/messages and conducted 39 interviews. I was asked to refrain from making public statements to enable a detailed and unbiased investigation.”

Now, a mugshot of the YouTube star is going viral after he was arrested in 2018 for a traffic offense.

According to a report by the Tar River Times, Donaldson - who was 19 years old at the time - was involved in a speed competition with another driver where they were both traveling 122 mph on a bypass.

According to Tarboro Police Chief Jesse Webb, it looked like the cars were racing each other.

Fans of Donaldson, whose videos featuring extravagant challenges and huge cash prizes have earned him the title of most subscribed to YouTuber on the platform, were shocked to find out about his arrest.

A press release from the Tarboro Police Department revealed that Donaldson was charged with speeding in a 70 mph zone, reckless driving to endanger, and speed competition.

At the time, he was reportedly held in custody on a $100,000 bond.

Viewers were stunned to uncover the arrest about Donaldson, with many taking to social media to share their reactions.

On Reddit, one user wrote: “This is something that the YouTube community doesn’t know yet. Pretty surprising tbh.”

While another said: “I did not know MrBeast got arrested before.”

A third commented: “Well this is surprising like what the f***.”

A fourth person added: “Every time I see anything about this guy, it gets worse.”

However, not everyone was as critical about the YouTuber.

One person was more sympathetic, writing: “He was 19 at the time I believe. Ngl… if I had his money at 19 I probably would have done something equally as f***ing stupid.”
