A 20-year-old tiktoker from Miami, Florida, has been arrested on charges after trespassing at a school to interview students as part of the content for the platform, as well as offering to smoke marijuana, according to reports.
The subject, identified as Brent Tyler Alemany, entered Coral Reef Senior High School, southwest of Miami, without authorization and began to speak with students to whom he told them that he created content for TikTok, reported the Local 10 television website. .
Alemany asked the students where in the school they go when they want to miss class and if they wanted to smoke marijuana with him, the aforementioned outlet said, citing the arrest warrant.
For its part, the Miami-Dade County school police stated that the school was placed in “code red” and that several officers showed up at the school because of Alemany’s actions.
Knowing that he was being searched for, the tiktoker escaped from the school premises, but the students managed to identify him through his TikTok page, the investigation reports said.
However, the police managed to arrest Alemany at his home, where he confessed to having entered the school and talking to the students, thus receiving charges of robbery and interference with an educational institution, Local 10 said.
The recent event occurs after last May, the state of Montana passed a law to ban the application of TikTok, whose signature was stamped by Republican Governor Greg Gianforte.
The Montana state Congress previously prepared a bill aimed at banning the platform of Chinese origin, on the mobile devices of all its inhabitants.
In response, the TikTok platform sued the state of Montana in federal court on May 22.
“We are challenging Montana’s unconstitutional TikTok ban to protect our business and the hundreds of thousands of TikTok users in Montana,” the platform said in a statement. “We believe our legal challenge will prevail based on an extremely strong set of precedents and facts.”
