The Second Jail Arc is the current arc where Daniel is imprisoned for federal crimes.
On April 30, 2024, Daniel was arrested and placed into Jefferson County Detention Facility. At the time of his arrest, the charges against him were unknown, with the listed reason being "courtesy housing for another agency." The following day, Daniel was transferred to the Clear Creek County Jail, where his mugshot was soon taken. [1]
Initially, it was believed that Daniel's arrest was due to multiple probation violations, as in the days leading up to his arrest, Daniel defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings, and admitted to viewing exploitive material of children.[2] However, according to a call made to his manager, Clark, Daniel was arrested for the several terroristic threats he had made over the past year. These claims were later backed by documents which revealed that Daniel had been charged with seven counts of threats, which carried a maximum sentence of 65 years.
This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring just 28 days prior to this. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel is now ineligible for bond, and given the severity of the charges, there is a possibility he will never be granted bond. Since his arrest, Daniel's only contact with the outside world has been through sporadic phone correspondence, which ceased for nearly four months until September. He is currently in contact with Clark and Lil Sippy by phone.
At the time, it was believed that Daniel's manager, Clark, had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. It was soon revealed that Clark, as well as other members of Daniel's management, were investigated by authorities seeking information about the threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager, and admitted to lying about his entire existence to Daniel. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel has had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later.
This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he is currently at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges. Many see this as the final nail in the coffin, with his plot armor truly breaking. This has become the most publicized aspect of Daniel's life thus far, as multiple social media accounts and news articles have covered the situation as it unfolded.[3][4] The Second Jail Arc stands as the longest period of Daniel being incarcerated, followed by the November 6th Arrest.
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to Englewood Federal Correctional Institution. He is currently held in a mental health facility for evaluation, and has been institutionalized since July 19 after being found incompetent to stand trial.
As of November 21, 2024, Daniel still remains in custody. He is scheduled to be transferred to a facility in Missouri for evaluation by December.
Background
During the summer of 2023, a Secret Service agent named Daniel MacDougall began investigating Daniel following several terroristic threats he had made, namely one in which he threatened to blow up the White House. This threat in particular came right off of the heels of Daniel having had a destructive meltdown in a Walmart after having his dog taken from him. Following this, Daniel would have multiple meetings with MacDougall, including one notable encounter where he met with MacDougall and an associate of his.[5]
Despite being repeatedly warned by a legitimate Secret Service agent to cease making threats against people, businesses, and government agencies, Daniel refused, continuing to make threats, even making threats against MacDougall himself.[6] As a result, a case was built against Daniel, which eventually led to his arrest. Law enforcement interrogated both Clark, his then-manager, and members of Daniel's management to verify the threats he had made over the years. These testimonies provided the final pieces of evidence necessary to arrest Daniel.
On April 25th, a warrant was issued for Daniel's arrest. This was thought to be due to Daniel having violated his probation multiple times, even before the issuing of said warrant. This notion was only exacerbated by the fact that only two days after this warrant was issued, he was kicked out of a Pumphouse restaurant by authorities on April 27,[7] defrauded a Buffalo Wild Wings the next day, and on his YouTube community tab, claimed to have viewed explicit material of children.
On the evening of April 29, Daniel became inactive on every one of his social media accounts, with his last post stating that he was on the bus back to Boulder.[8]
Daniel is well known for making terroristic threats via social media and is speculated to have made over 100 of these threats since 2021. This habit of threat-making appeared to escalate in the weeks preceding his arrest. A prime example of this trend can be seen in the April 6th Meltdown, in which Daniel repeated the phrase "bomb you!" and "kill you!," where he is also seen threatening to vandalize several government buildings. Even more, Daniel threatened to carry out a mass shooting against a hospital after having been kicked out for loitering in January of the same year.
These threats would not serve him well in the long run, as the Colorado Police Department was slowly build a case against him, charging him with seven counts of threats, which carries a maximum sentence of 65 years.
In the indictment calling for Daniel's arrest, each threat Daniel had made that contributed to his arrest was stated, most notably one wherein Daniel threatened to bomb a non-profit organization which was soon discovered to be the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the DDRC. The DDRC is a non-profit organization that helped house Daniel in the past, and while the reason behind this threat is unknown, Daniel's threats led to the building being evacuated and searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.
Additionally, the case included the following Incidents:
- July 3rd Community Tab Incident, where he threatened to bomb Spotify's headquarters and a courthouse.
- August 29th Meltdown, where he threatened to bomb the White House and every police station in the U.S.
- Christmas Day Meltdown, where he threatened to kill Secret Service Agent Daniel MacDougall.
- March 23rd Meltdown, where he threatens to bomb the FBI headquarters and kill their personnel.
The Arrest
Daniel was arrested on the afternoon of April 30 during his probation meeting. He was booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility, and was ineligible for bail. Before his actual charges were revealed, he was charged with, "courtesy housing for another agency." Daniel was transferred to Clear Creek County Jail the next day.[9][10]
Clark's (alleged) arrest, and interactions with Bob
 | It is important to note that Daniel's management has not, and will not, face legal repercussions for their involvement with Daniel. Many have claimed that they will be going to jail for the same amount of time Daniel will, which is frankly ridiculous. However, you should still not attempt to interact with Daniel while he is incarcerated. |
On May 3, Clark, Daniel's former manager, reported in a Discord server that police officers had shown up at his place of work. Almost instantly afterward, Clark went offline. It was at first assumed that he had been arrested due to allegedly being an accomplice to all of Daniel's threats, as well as having alleged contact with the Secret Service agent that got Daniel arrested in the first place. This was later proven to be false.
Following hours of silence, Clark resurfaced on Discord with concerning messages. He shared that he had been fired from his job for being, "too drunk." Additionally, he was contacted by Bob Proctor, Daniel's mentor, about Daniel allegedly getting into a fight while being held. This was a revelation nobody knew, as it was thought that since the Christmas Day Meltdown, Bob had officially cut ties with Daniel.
After being contacted by bob, Clark stepped down as Daniel's manager. In his final calls to him, he admitted to Daniel that everything he had done up until that point had been fake, and that he would cease contacting him going forward.
Shortly after this call was conducted, a final call between Clark and Daniel was made. In texts to Clark, Bob stated that Daniel wanted to have a man-to-man talk with Clark.[11]
The Charges
Daniel is currently facing serious legal charges. Initially, he was facing six counts of, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," and one count of, "Interstate Communication of Threats."[12] Each, "Use or Threatened Use of Explosive," charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The, "Interstate Communication of Threats" charge could add another five years.[13][14] Based off of all seven charges, the maximum jail time that Daniel could face was 65 years in prison. It is difficult to accurately estimate to the fines that Daniel may face as they range quite substantially.

As mentioned in the calls with Clark, Daniel was assigned a public defender due to him not having the means to obtain a lawyer. His attorney was soon identified as Jared Scott Westbroek. According to Daniel, his public defender is attempting to argue that Daniel could not have carried out any of his threats as he lacked the resources to do so, therefore he should be released.
Motion for Daniel's release
On May 10, right before Daniel's court hearing, documents were found that detailed Daniel's public defender, Jared Scott Westbroek, introducing a motion for Daniel's immediate release. However, this motion, along with one filed the day before were both denied by the judge.[15][16]
These documents requested that Daniel be outfitted with an ankle tracker and placed under mandatory mental health treatment if released. This document also mentions placing Daniel into a halfway house, where he would presumably stay if he were to come out of jail, which has not happened yet.
As of June 29, this motion has been left unresolved.

May 10 court appearance
Daniel appeared in court for an arraignment on May 10, 2024, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Due to his not guilty plea, Daniel was not released from jail. Daniel was given a new trial date, set to July 15, which was stated in the Order of Detention following the trial. According to Bob, Daniel stated that, "nothing was accomplished" following the hearing's conclusion.
In texts to Clark, Bob tells him that he would be held until a mental health evaluation was conducted (which Daniel will most definitely fail). Additionally, Bob states that Daniel says the the "appearance got leaked," although it is unclear as to what Daniel meant by this.
Order of detention
After the court hearing, the judge, Norman Reid Neureiter, issued an order of detention. This confirmed that Daniel would, in fact, remain in jail after pleading not guilty, as well as the judge demanding that Daniel complete a mandatory mental health evaluation. This order of detention also touches upon Daniel's request to be released.

May 23 Mental Health Evaluation Docket
A docket from May 23 ordered Daniel undergo a mental health evaluation. His July 10th and 15th court dates were canceled, and he was sent to undergo an evaluation at a mental health facility.[17]
May 27 Docket Report
On May 27, a docket report was issued that detailed all of what had happened up to that point during Daniel's incarceration.

May 31 Transfer
On May 31, Daniel was transferred to Englewood Federal Correctional Institution, which, coincidentally, is the same facility where sex offender and documented pedophile Jared Fogle is being held.
July 19 Competency Report
A psychiatric report for Daniel filed on July 19, 2024. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel was deemed incompetent for trial, and would be institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility in hopes of being evaluated where he is currently in custody. The court hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024 was canceled. On July 26, an order was issued for Daniel to be institutionalized for no longer than four months. He was also deemed "sexually dangerous" in the order.
Daniel will be re-evaluated around the end of November 2024.[18]

September 25 Report & Transfer Request
A report was filed on September 25, with Daniel's attorney demanding that he be transferred to a psychiatric facility within a week and that the court receive his evaluation by November 25.
If neither happens, the case may be dismissed which will result in Daniel being released.[19] His attorney believes that Daniel has been in jail for longer than he should be and the reason is because the mental health facilities do not have any beds available. [20]
On October 3, 2024, the court responded to this request, stating that his four-month evaluation period will begin in December. [21] He will also be moved to Springfield Missouri that month, and will be re-evaluated in April 2025. [22]
Future Hearings
Daniel had a competency hearing scheduled for September 23, 2024, but it was ordered to be vacated, and he is to be reevaluated sometime at the end of November[18] [23] [24]
He is now being tried for only 3 of the 7 original counts.
