Daniel's inmate profile.

On January 9, 2024, Daniel Larson was arrested at the Denver International Airport after being confronted by an officer for having multiple warrants out for his arrest.

Background

Late on January 8th, Daniel posted a video to his YouTube where he is seen yelling at an employee, saying he needs written documentation for his trespass. Daniel uploads this video twice, one titled, "hotel security claiming that I am trespassed without legal proof or paperwork by law enforcement.", and the second upload titled, "Daniel Larson getting threatened and harassed by hotel security at Denver international airport.".

Transcript

...and if I don't get the documentation proving that I'm trespassed, it's all fake.

Money money money

Daniel, on the 9th, proceeded to go to the Denver International Airport via bus, so he could go to the Canvas Credit Union due to his bank account being drained by "DLR records and entertainment.", though the validity of this is questionable.

The Arrest

After the incident, on January 10, 2024, Daniel uploaded some videos that appear to take place just before the livestream.

Livestream

At approximately 4:00 P.M Mountain Standard Time zone, Daniel was at the Canvas Credit Union, located inside the Denver International Airport, claiming that he intended to get a debit card. However, given what would happen afterward, Daniel would never obtain one. During the livestream on TikTok, there are four people visible. Daniel, seated in a chair while charging his phone and livestreaming, a police officer standing before him, airport security, and a female which appeared to be working for the credit union.

Earlier in the stream, Daniel repeats, "I'd be more than happy to just leave". [1] During the interaction, Daniel mentions his probation, and it is discussed that the officer will tell Daniel's probation officer what will happen. Daniel also states that he waited twenty minutes to get on a bus to downtown, it is possible that Daniel had an intent to leave, or it could've been an alibi. It is not known why the police were involved in the incident. The officer advised airport security to trespass Daniel, however Daniel was warned that if he returns he will be trespassed, however, he ended up not being charged, nor trespassed [2].

From the footage of the livestream, Daniel surrendered and ended the live stream following the officer asking him to stand up.

Daniel's side of the story

On January 11, Daniel briefly explains his side of the story, confirming he was arrested. He claims that the airport security was harassing him, then stating that he was there to go to his bank, and that he doesn't need a plane ticket to go to the bank. He states that he was waiting for the bus back to Denver, Colorado, which was going to take twenty minutes.

While he was waiting for the bus, allegedly, a drunk person called the police on Daniel. The drunk man that Daniel is referring too was sitting across the room from Daniel, in the video that Daniel posted, he is visibly shaking his hands and talking on his phone, and could've been possible the male was indeed drunk.

Daniel says that when the police showed up, he requested the supervisor but began to argue with him as they "couldn't do it". He then states because he was arrested he missed probation in "all counties" which included Jefferson County [4].

Hello, everyone. Yes, it is true that I got arrested this past week at the Denver International Airport. Yes, the security guard was harassing me. I was there to go to my bank, and I don't need to have a plane ticket if I'm going to the bank. I was waiting for the bus back to Denver, which was going to take 20 minutes. While I was waiting for the bus, there was a drunk person that called the police on me. When the police showed up, I asked for their supervisor, and they started arguing with me about how they couldn't do it.
