BenDaDonnn was booked in Brazos County after a Northgate police stop.
College Station police say Benjamin Benius Beard, 34, the Miami streamer known as BenDaDonnn, was arrested at Northgate after Saturday's Texas A&M football game. He was booked in Brazos County on a charge of evading arrest or detention. A man police described as his security guard, Kenny Carter, was also arrested. These are accusations.

A video of a Taser and a jail booking are the start of a use-of-force story and a criminal file. They are not a finding that Beard evaded detention or that his security guard interfered with an officer. TMZ reported that Beard was booked Sunday in Brazos County on evading arrest or detention after College Station officers tried to clear a roadway in front of a bar. FOX 26 Houston and KBTX reported a $7,000 bond and a separate interference charge against Kenny Carter, 29. Police descriptions of a less-lethal tool, and TMZ's report that video showed a Taser, are allegations and footage. They are not elements the State has proved.
TMZ reported that Benius Beard, who streams as BenDaDonnn, was booked into the Brazos County Jail on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, on a charge of evading arrest or detention. FOX 26 Houston identified him as 34-year-old Benjamin Beard and said College Station police records show he was charged Sunday with evading arrest, with bond set at $7,000. KBTX identified him as Benjamin Benius Beard, 34, of Miami, and reported he was booked into the Brazos County Detention Center on an evading-arrest charge with the same bond. KBTX said the arrest followed Saturday's Texas A&M football game at Northgate.
College Station police told the outlets they were clearing patrons from the roadway in front of a bar when a group refused commands. TMZ, citing police, reported that a man acting as Beard's security guard allegedly slapped an officer's hands away as officers tried to detain Beard, that a department spokesperson said an officer then used a Taser as Beard tried to get away, and that video showed the Taser before he was handcuffed. KBTX quoted police saying an officer deployed a less-lethal tool to gain compliance as Beard attempted to get away. FOX 26 Houston reported that police described a less-lethal tool and did not name it, and that police said the second man then pushed the officer to the ground. Those are police allegations and, where noted, a description of video. They are not a court finding.
The second man is Kenny Carter, 29, of Lithonia, Georgia, KBTX reported. FOX 26 and KBTX reported he was charged with interference with public duties and that his bond was set at $4,000. TMZ reported police said he claimed to be Beard's security guard. FOX 26 reported that police said they found a gun on Carter. A gun found during an arrest is a police statement about what officers say they recovered. It is not, in these accounts, a separate conviction, and the outlets did not describe a weapons charge. Beard and Carter are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Page Six says unsealed records from the Lively-Baldoni fight include Ryan Reynolds texts calling Baldoni a "predator and sociopath."
A text message in a court file is proof that someone wrote something. It is not a finding that what he wrote is true. Reynolds was angry in August 2024, and the records Page Six obtained show it. Baldoni has denied Lively's allegations from the start, and no jury ever ruled on them. Page Six reported the case settled in May. What is left now is the paper trail.

LAPD homicide detectives searched Joshua Tree on Friday for evidence in Christina Downer's disappearance.
A search by homicide detectives is a step in an investigation. It is not an arrest, and it is not a finding that anyone killed Christina Downer. Fox News reported the LAPD would not say what evidence detectives hoped to find in Joshua Tree, or whether they were looking for remains or a suspect. NBC Los Angeles reported that dogs were part of the search. Fox News reported a department spokesperson could not confirm the dogs. No one has been named or charged.

LAPD booked Gregory Walker on a felony assault count in the February shooting of 49ers lineman Keion White.
A booking described to a newspaper is the police account of who is in custody and on what count. It is not a criminal complaint the public has seen, and it is not a conviction. The New York Post reported that LAPD officials named Gregory Walker as the suspected gunman in the February shooting of Keion White. The Post did not report a charge against Lil Baby, who was described as the person White argued with before the shots. What a witness told police about two gunshots is an allegation. A jury has not heard it.
