No information has emerged at press time about why police tased BenDaDonnn or what happened that led to them detaining him.

UPDATE 10/4, 1:08PM: According to TMZ, BenDaDonnn was arrested on a charge of evading arrest or detention. Per the College Station Police Department, officers were clearing patrons from a road in front of a bar, a group refused, security for Ben slapped an officer's hands while they tried to detain Ben, and the officer used a taser.

BenDaDonnn attended the Texas A&M versus Arkansas football game yesterday (Saturday, October 3) and faced a harrowing and unexpected situation. In a video caught by FearBuck on Twitter that's going viral, various police officers detained him later that night, which happened after one of the officers tased him.

This was well after the football game in College Station in Northgate, an attendance which the multi-hyphenate streamer documented via his Instagram Story. The Memphis creator hasn't spoken out about this altercation, and there are no details available at press time about why it happened, what the context was, or whether or not there are any charges or other legal matters involved. Some folks online have characterized this as an arrest, but it's unclear exactly what happened.

What folks did see was a police officer tasing Ben and later escorting him away from the scene as onlookers reacted wildly. Folks online have reacted in many different ways to the situation, with some bringing up unrelated allegations against DaDonnn and the previous interactions with the Texas A&M team.

He reportedly tried to get in the locker room on players' invitation following the win. But a clip caught by tripp!e on Twitter shows their coach preventing this from happening. Again, it's unknown if this has anything to do with the tasing, as official details haven't emerged at press time.

In any case, this is a troubling and worrisome situation for BenDaDonnn, especially with a lack of explanation from police as of writing this article. While some folks responded to this with mockery or disdain, this is an ugly development that raised concerns about its unknown context.

According to MyMixtapez on Instagram, BenDaDonnn got a $7K bond for allegedly evading arrest. However, official information from police or from Ben himself still hasn't emerged at press time. As such, the context for all this remains unclear.

We will see if any of this gets any significant clarity in the near future or if the streamer chooses to avoid it in the public eye. Fans are debating about the circumstances here, and there are a lot of questions to answer.
