Laws are a set of rules established by a society, typically to protect its members and ensure the orderly function of society. For, Daniel, however, laws serve as a deterrent in his career as a singer-songwriter and marrying Grace VanderWaal. As one can guess, he has been in trouble with the law on multiple occasions, racking up an incredible amount of charges and visits to jail.
As of April 2024, Daniel has been to jail a whopping number of 7 times, 4 for being a fugitive of justice – after time and time again of not attending court), 2 for assault, one of which being to his own mother, and 1 time for an unknown charge. Daniel has found himself with charges for destruction of private property, petty theft, trespassing, criminal mischief, and so on. Despite this, Daniel has hardly faced any incarceration despite these crimes, and when he has, he has rarely ever stayed behind bars for very long, only receiving a slap on the wrist.
Colorado, where Daniel has resided for most of his life, has several laws meant to imprison repeat offenders – which often times means that if an individual is brought in a third time for a felony or misdemeanor, the sentence if found guilty is more severe than than the last (in some states, the sentence is life in prison). But, seeing as Daniel has almost always gotten away with a slap on the wrist, it is very unlikely that he'll be staying in jail, much less prison. Due to the negligence of the police, several businesses still continue to be defrauded by Daniel, and Daniel continues to assault those he's close to without much punishment.
Destruction of Property
On August 13th, 2021, Daniel was charged with destruction of property for smashing the window of a car[1].
Petty Theft
On May 13th, 2022, Daniel was charged with petty theft, based on the location of the violation: "500 16TH ST #120". It appears to be the location of a Hard Rock Café suggesting it was a target of one of Larson's dine and dashes.
Trespassing
On May 15th, 2023, Daniel posted that overnight he was given a citation for sleeping in a MTA subway station. He said that it was a $100 fine, and posted a video that briefly shows the ticket on his Tik tok page.
Warrants
Destruction of Property
Daniel has already failed to appear four separate times, and has had $350 worth of fees imposed on him via bond, bond forfeiture, and warrant fees. $100 worth of these has already been paid, leaving $250 due.
Petty Theft
Daniel has yet to miss a court date for his petty theft charge.
Criminal Mischief
On June 9th, 2022, a criminal mischief case was opened against Daniel. After failing to appear once, the warrant was executed when he was arrested during his October 16th tantrum. Daniel was appointed a public defender on October 25th with his "plea and setting hearing" on November 28th.
Additional Destruction of Property Charges
On October 16th, 2022, a new case was opened for Daniel for destruction of property. He failed to appear on December 20th, 2022, and his warrant was canceled on June 21, 2023. [2]
"Cleared Up"
Daniel has announced that he is "clearing up his warrants" many times. On August 4th 2022 Daniel uploaded a video announcing that he had gotten it all taken care of by "merging it all into one case" and that it should all be cleared up within the month.
Destruction of property
On August 29th, 2022 Daniel's destruction of property charge was dismissed [3]

Dine and Dash Arrest
On January 19th, 2023, Daniel was arrested for attempting to dine and dash at a Cheesecake Factory in Anaheim, California. Daniel was charged with "defrauding an innkeeper" and received a $950 fine.
School of Mines Wall Damage
On July 11, 2023, Daniel livestreamed an interaction he had with EMTs after calling 911 multiple times. While he was in the ambulance a police officer was able to charge him $500 for damages to a wall at the School of Mines. Daniel quickly admitted to his crimes claiming he damaged the wall to make sure he was heard, that "this was serious".
Jefferson County Court Hearings
On September 14th, 2023, Daniel announced he would be appearing in court the following day in a YouTube short and several community posts. This was an arraignment for two misdemeanours at the Jefferson County Court in Golden, Colorado to which he turned up late. It is uncertain what exactly the charges were but he claimed that the maximum sentence was two years in jail. Daniel would plead not guilty, likely to buy him some time and hope for a good plea bargain. His next appearance in court would be set as October 31st, 2023, for a pre-trial conference.
After the arraignment, Daniel was again interviewed by Dylan. Daniel was asked several questions regarding Grace Vanderwaal, the trolls, leaked nudes and dating sites. In another video, Dylan also presented Daniel with some texts regarding Grace and Phi Kappa Tau. Daniel appeared troubled by these texts and proceeded to ask permission to take a photo of Dylan's phone. He soon after posted the image to YouTube through several community posts. There would later be a pre court interview uploaded by Dylan's friend, baristamuffin64.

Third-Degree Assault Arrest
Before the Arrest
On September 16th, 2023, Daniel was attempting to get onto Folsom Field right before a football game was about to start. He claimed that "Coach Prime" had texted him previously about when to get to the field and when to pick up his "VIP passes." Larson went live while he was outside of the field and started complaining to other college students that he was supposed to be on the field with Deion Sanders. He explained that he couldn't pick up said "passes" the night before and therefore security wouldn't let him on the field. Daniel went to his community page and started to frantically post things like, "I'm supposed to have the VIP pass," "I'm going back to the field," and "I got to go to the celebrity entrance."
His last post claimed that trolls were attempting to get him banned from the University of Colorado,
and then Larson goes silent on social media. An audio recording is released of Daniel right before his arrest. [1]
The Assault
Daniel, already frustrated with the security at Folsom Field, allegedly kicks a security guard.
Although no video of the assault has been released as of September 17th, 2023, numerous bystanders caught the arrest on video.
Not much is known (as of September 17th, 2023) besides Daniel being charged with third degree assault and the fact he is currently locked up.
No mugshot of Daniel has been released either and many speculate that Daniel will be out of jail within a couple of days. Many people on the Daniel Larson subreddit have requested for more information regarding Danderson's arrest and if he is going to be released or locked up for a long period of time. [2]
Many have gone on the say that this is the beginning of the "Jail Arc", or "State Property Arc" and memes are currently going around the subreddit. [3][4][5]
Daniel's Release
At 3:30 P.M EST on September 18th, 2023, Daniel was scheduled for court. Many people searched for a link to watch, but because so many people got on the Colorado Judicial System website it crashed[6], leading to no livestream of Daniel's court appearance. Someone found a link to a Webex meeting, and many people from the subreddit began to join. Many are calling this the "Webex Incident" and/or "September 18th Incident" because the judge had to kick everyone from the live stream. They had to do this because of people joining and drawing explicit photos/threatening to bomb to courthouse. [7][8][9]
On September 18th, 2023, just two days after being arrested, Daniel Larson has been released from jail. Photos were posted on the subreddit following his release.[10] Another redditor posted a text message confirmation of Daniel's release. [11] Many have posted about how this is a failure of the justice system, and questioned how he was allowed to even be released. [12][13]
As of 10:04 P.M EST on September 18th, 2023, Daniel has not made a return to social media. When he was spotted after his release, many noticed that he did not have his phone in his hand and did not have his backpack either. Some have speculated that he has his phone, but no charger. [14]
Daniel's Return to Social Media
On September 19th, 2023, at approximately 11am MDT, Daniel made his return to social media, for the first time since his arrest, in the form of a YouTube community post claiming he was falsely arrested. It should be noted that while he claims the arrest was unjustified, he later admitted in another community post that he "... hit 2[sic] security guards". This confirmed the rumour that he had assaulted two guards that led to his arrest. On the same day, Daniel also posted a YouTube short, making it his first video appearance since the arrest. In the short he is seemingly calling out Fox News for "... stealing [his] views".

He was released on March 1, 2024 after a court hearing.
March 19th Arrest

April 30th Arrest
