November 6th Arrest
 | "November 6th Arrest" has video(s) that are in need of transcription, or need to have their transcript checked for quality so it can be to the standards of the wiki. See Daniel Larson Wiki:Transcripts for more information. |
 | Daniel Larson has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator. Reason given: "Daniel is known to lie about many things, his parents included. It's highly debated if he was truly abused or not, but according to what is available, it is most likely he himself was the abuser and not his mother, given the fact she was paralyzed for the majority of his life." Bear this in mind and think before taking their statements at face value. |
| “ | Papa Gut I'm his mother.he lies he went to jail cause he hit me and his grandmother and his grandmother was dying | ” |
| “ | So, she actually deserved that one thing for what she did. | ” |
On the 6th of November 2017, a date which will forever live in infamy, Elisabeth Shimer, paralyzed and in a wheelchair, was suddenly and deliberately struck by an 18-year-old Daniel. Due to this altercation, the authorities were called, which resulted in Daniel Larson's first ever arrest. Afterward, Daniel was soon placed under police custody, and after court, he was sentenced to 44-45 days in jail for assaulting his mother, just 9 days before his 19th birthday.
This arrest substantiates claims of Daniel's violent behavior even before his online activity, and more importantly, claims of Daniel frequently physically abusing his mother (and to a lesser extent, his grandmother). Although, after this, it seems as though Daniel was placed under Nancy's care once more.
The Incident
| “ | After, basically, 15 years of my parents hitting me with belts, my dad asking me to smoke cigars as a child, I... um.. decided to push my mother out of the way one time when she cornered me, when I was 18, and they called that assault. | ” |
In an interview conducted on July 8, 2021, Daniel elaborated on his side of the situation. [2]
At the beginning of the video, Daniel claims that his time with his parents was a "traumatizing experience", elaborating on his statement by stating his parents "hit him with belts for 15 years", and even more, his father, Travis Larson, made him smoke cigars as a child. This is most likely not true, given Travis and Elisabeth's splitting in 2010 due to his father wanting absolutely nothing to do with Daniel. It's even more unlikely for his mother to have hit him with a belt or do any type of substantial damage, given that she was in a wheelchair, and physically incapable of hitting him with belts. Even more, Daniel was taken away by the state of Colorado for being neglected due to her physical disability, making it hard for her to care for him.
However, Daniel used his anger from these tenuous claims of abused as a justification for pushing his mother, which happened after she "cornered" him. After this, the authorities ended up being called, and 3rd degree assault charges were promptly pressed on Daniel. However, it's called into question if the only thing Daniel did was shove Elisabeth, as his charges say otherwise. According to his criminal record[3] along claims from Elisabeth,[4] Daniel did not only shove her, but also struck his wheelchair-bound mother.
3rd degree assault is defined as, "when someone inflicts physical injury – a bodily impairment or substantial pain – on another person. The injury can be intentionally inflicted, but it can also result from recklessness or criminal negligence."[5] meaning that if the authorities were called, it means that Elisabeth had endured so much physical abuse from Daniel that she had injuries, justifying his sentencing. Despite this, Daniel adamantly claimed, quote, "she deserved that one thing, for what she did", what she did being his unsubstantiated claims of abuse.
It is worth noting that his criminal records also mentions instances of property damage and criminal mischief, though what happened to cause this is unknown and will most likely stay unknown.
After this, Daniel then says that his charges were "dropped" and that the courts "lifted the case" after he took unspecified legal action. This is obviously untrue, given the nature of the assault, his sentencing, and the fact this incident was never expunged from Daniel's criminal record. Daniel, ironically, goes on to say that he wants to stop abuse against those with disabilities, not considering his mother's deteriorating health.

Daniel: ...an ambulance, without my family. [The video cuts] Daniel: Now, if you don't call that a traumatizing experience, I don't know what would. [The video cuts] Daniel: After - basically - 15 years of my parents hitting me with belts, my - dad asking me to, uh, smoke cigars as a child - I, um, decided to push my mother out of the way one time when she cornered me - when I was 18 - and they called that assault, and I went to jail for 45 days. *sigh* [The video cuts] Daniel: But if my mother- [The video cuts] Daniel: ...was the one that was abusing me - my whole life - and never got in trouble and I get one thing to her and went to jail for 45 days. [The video cuts] Daniel: I did one thing, she did like 150 things. [The video cuts] Daniel: She should be the one to get the blame. In the end, [making finger-quotes] "god' has a golden rule - treat other the way you want to be treated. So she actually well deserved that one thing for... what she did. [The video cuts] Daniel: I took this to court, and I told them. Believe it or not, they lifted the case because they listened to me. My mother still doesn't have a restraining order and she should. [The video cuts] Daniel: It pisses me off that I get treated better by celebrities than my own family - better by my own fans - than my own family. [Looks side-to-side and eats a biscuit] [The video cuts] Daniel: I'll be creating three movements: stop abuse with people towards disabilities, treat others the way you want to be treated, and stop abuse. Please help me spread the message. |
