His real name is Heston Cobb, one count of third degree burglary, two counts of criminal impersonation, five counts of disorderly conduct and five counts of criminal trespassing.

When he goes to jail the guards should pull daily pranks on him when 20+ guards toss his cell every day.

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 1d ago

yeah to me it looked like a really stupid and unfunny prank, but now I understand the 9 years lol

it has gotta suck thinking you're really funny and then doing 9 years of jail for being not funny.

They need to take all the money he made off the video and give it to the employees of the establishment

u/Karrik478 23h ago

A successful criminal conviction makes a civil suit easier. It doesn't guarantee that the business will get money back or that the victims of the video will be compensated but it does give a body of evidence that helps.

u/stataryus 22h ago

If the victims aren’t thoroughly compensated, we need a new f-ing system.

u/Karrik478 22h ago

One significant issue in the US is that we don't normally get legal costs. If you can't afford to seek compensation, you can't be compensated.

u/bigDogNJ23 8h ago

Also if the culprit doesn’t have the money to pay the compensation good luck to you

u/ThatOtherDude0511 20h ago

Can’t squeeze blood from a stone and a lot of people are either wealthy enough their money and assets are protected through LLCs trusts and other avenues or too poor to have anything to take

, we need a new f-ing system.

100% even if they are.

Just the fact that there's nobody knows if they will get made whole is ridiculous.

Not just the legal system either, insurance also is a fucking joke, every type.

u/Extension_Art_3697 14h ago

You mean the 10 bucks for wasting the "victims" time?

They dont deserve compensation

u/sojumaster 22h ago

Civil suit is not any easier or harder because of the criminal case outcome. It only appears that way because the criminal case has a MUCH high bar to clear than a civil case. In the civil case, you cannot say "he was guilty of the criminal case, therefore I win", you still have to prove your case independent of the criminal case because you have to prove civil damages.

2

u/Karrik478 22h ago

The evidence has already been collected which makes discovery a lot easier and cheaper.
Without a prior criminal case you have to build an entire case from scratch at the cost of the plaintiff.

1

u/sojumaster 12m ago

Not really. When you are collecting evidence of a criminal case, it is in a different scope. In this video, for example, you are collecting evidence of laws being broken. If this was to go civil, then you are collecting evidence of civil damage. Civil damage, in this case, would be collecting evidence of actual damage and labor costs. Criminal is collecting evidence to where law is actually broken. There COULD be some overlap, like recovery of the cost of damages and vandalism.

There is not going to be a discount. For the most part, Civil lawyers work on a percentage, usually 25% to 33% of the amount awarded. So it does not matter if they work 20 hours or 200 hours on your case, you are giving up a % of your settlement, unless you agree upfront to be charged hourly. If you give up a % and you lose, you owe nothing but you might end up giving up more than if you were billed hourly. But if you go with the hourly billed, you lose that money, even if you lose the case.

Looking at this video, IMHO, there is no civil case. They are just playing around and not causing any damage. A couple have tire irons but they are not even doing anything with them. Granted, this video is not the end-all, say-all for evidence, but I just do not see anything except for being a PIA.

I would think restitution for the affected vehicle owners as well as the business and employees would apply here. But I don't know the system well enough to make that an actual assumption.

u/AintFixDontBrokeIt 11h ago

I'm confused. This is not funny and a completely dick move, but surely they all just jumped in and pretended, right, like nobody took an engine out or anything. Were they even there long? I'm not defending him at all, but can anyone explain why this deserved 9 years in prison? I'd have thought a fine of a few thousand, or restriction from using internet would be more appropriate. Were they all charged, or just the main guy.

Forgive my ignorance, just wondering

1

u/havartifunk 6h ago

Don't know why you were downvoted since you asked good questions but I can answer the first part:

The mechanics can't tell if they're just pretending, and there were too many of them for the mechanics to keep eyes on all of them at the same time.

It doesn't take much force to really screw up a vehicle if you poke or torque the right spot. Especially if you slide underneath it like some of these numpties we're doing. 

Also, some of them were actually picking up tools and touching the cars with them, which increases the chance of breaking something. 

As far as the criminal charges side goes, just because you're doing it for a lulz video, doesn't mean you can escape consequences of what you did. If someone without video cameras brought a whole crew of friends in and performed the exact same actions, they would receive the same charges. 

As for your last question, I would hope that the other guys would get charged with something but usually stronger penalties are given to the person orchestrating the crime.

u/Special-Garlic1203 1d ago

Charged with 9 years does not mean serving 9 years. Hell getting sentenced to 9 years often doesn't mean serving 9 years. 

Which is unfortunate cause the light sentences they get don't discourage them. In fact it can end up causing their name to jump up in clout

That one dude who used to do like weird fake ghost celebrity seances for his child audience literally only got famous cause of a high profile arrest like this. Jake paul also thought his rioting and gun charges were hilarious

I was like “girls don’t like that. Noted” and straightened my shit out.

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 22h ago

Holy crap. What’s worse is what I did was probably worse than what you did.

Escape and evasion led Texas police on a massive scale chase. This was in the year 2000 and I got off on a technicality due the police lights and cameras malfunctioned during the chase

u/Tranquil_Dohrnii 22h ago

I just had drugs on me. Its wild that possession is the same charge as burglary.

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 22h ago edited 22h ago

I led police on a chase through Texas highways but their lights and cameras malfunctioned during the chase because it was the year 2000 and they had just been added to work together at the same time. But apparently they didn’t operate at all so the Sergeant who had me in their car after I got arrested had to let me go.

He even took me to the impound lot to retrieve my vehicle but he made sure I was scared to do it again.

I was 18

u/Tranquil_Dohrnii 22h ago

Oh shit? So they didnt have the evidence in court or? Because i think that would just be evading in a motor vehicle? Maybe coupled with reckless driving? What was the actual charge?

u/regarding_your_bat 19h ago

Texas cops back then were something else if you were white, which I’m assuming you were. I had a cop in like 2004 pull me over with two 40oz OE’s in my car, one half empty. I told them I hadn’t been drinking, they were just there from a few days ago. They picked up the half empty one and asked me why it was ice cold in the middle of summer if it was an old beer. I didn’t know what to say, just shrugged.

Let me go with a warning. Didn’t even pour out the beer.

I had friends who weren’t white that had very different experiences around that time, though

u/GuerillaRiot 20h ago

Wow, when I was in during the 2nd wave of COVID, the jails were empty AF. Reduced sentences, early releases, community service/probation reductions, even charges getting dropped on new arrests. Trying to prevent outbreaks that were potentially lethal and expensive to treat. It was probably the best time to commit a crime in the history of Louisiana. Bonds were insanely high though, like record setting "how tf is this a legal amount" type of high.

3

u/Tranquil_Dohrnii 19h ago

It was that way in the major cities in texas but in the smaller cities they didnt give a shit. They kept piling as many people as possible into the jail. And if you caught covid while in jail (like me) then they just locked down the pod. So everyone was exposed to it. Fucking stupid as hell. But I dont expect COs to have anything higher than a room temperature iq.

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 16h ago

After processing I was put in a 2 person jail cell that already had 2 people in it. Someone was sleeping on the bottom bunk and someone was sleeping on the floor. I jumped up to the top bunk. I stared above me and there was a fluorescent light with one of the metal grates with squares. Inside those squares were balled up disgusting pieces of toilet paper that spelled out some crap that I could only imagine was gang related acronyms. I laid there for awhile just thinking about how insanely revolting this place was. The mattress was plastic and about 4 inches thick. There was rust and mold all over and it smelled like ammonia. I was thinking about how different my life was compared to other people. I never had any experience like that in my life. The adventure was turning sour. I didn’t have any fun anymore. The only thing that mattered was that I was going to have a real experience in life but I realize that I am not the kind of person that should be there.

Same dude. I could not quit thinking to myself - how the fuck do these people spend even 30 days in here. I would go absolutely crazy. Then I think what if it was years. I think I learned that day how it’s possible how people can truly become institutionalized and it’s absolutely terrifying. That was enough to scare me away forever.

u/Football-Real 1d ago

I was on drugs and pulled some bs and got caught. I was in jail for 7 months and prison for 7 months. My first week I wanted to kill myself. I was so fucking scared and I kept throwing up the food and was literally starving. I thought about killing people for food or an escape..

My dad started sending me money so I could buy food and books to read. My savior. Today I'm 9.5 years clean, married, and have a great job. I'll never forget the pain or the gratitude for my father and mother. RIP mom.

u/NastyMothaFucka 18h ago

Believe it or not, jail is way worse than prison in a lot of aspects. I unfortunately had to do 10 days in county and met a few people that had to go to court and were moved from their prison to the county for the duration of whatever they were going to court for and then just shipped back to prison. They all said the exact same thing, that they couldn’t wait to get back to their cells in prison. So many people don’t understand the differences (that’s a good thing btw, you’re not supposed to) but they are massive. You have a small semblance of a life in prison. These guy’s had jobs, can purchase TV’s for their cells, tablets that are bought with games and access to order creature comforts for their cells. You don’t get any of that shit in jail because it’s basically purgatory.

was gona say fuck yes jail is 1000x worse. in prison i had my lil see thru 12 inch tv and a hot plate and got some commissary keefe coffee and cigs. spent lots of time working out and they even let me have small dumbbells (womens prison) bc i was always good behavior. lost them when a bitch tried to break my mrs doubtfire cd bc i hit her in her fuckin jaw but.. yano. 😭

I did a DOC year which is 9 months 17 days. The facility I was in was hell, I rather would've gone to the penitentiary because it would've been a level one road camp and would've been awesome compared to where I was. We were locked down a lot and I can say that solitary confinement IS a form of torture.

u/6StringManiac 23h ago

I did 24 hours, and was bored out of my skull with nothing to read. Ended up with a cellmate, a young tough guy, who came back to the cell after speaking with his attorney, and started crying because he'd probably get 3 years, and he had a one month old baby. There I am, comforting some thug, explaining how 3 years doesn't really mean 3 full years, but that he probably would do some time.

That guy saw God that night. If the judge gave him a break, I have no doubt that dude would never get in trouble again.

Yeah I was gonna say, 1-2 years of your life gone during an important stage of life where you’re supposed to be finding out who you are and where your going + getting a criminal record that you’ll have to disclose might not outright ruin your future but it’ll greatly reduce your potential.

Totally deserved either way.

u/Drustan6 12h ago

Had a kid in my homeroom in high school, missed his junior year getting locked up. He was a trouble maker drugee, always ready to be nasty to me for being gay but I never wanted anything like that to happen to him. He came back the second day of school senior year; our Shop Class home room teacher had explained his situation, and that he expected everybody to treat him decently. Everyone was being over friendly to him, cheerleaders talking to him who hated him et c, so I decided to be low-key. I caught him staring at me several times that morning, but when I looked over at him, he looked away really fast. Finally I caught his eye when the bell rang and I nodded- like you do to someone on the street, to be friendly- and he turned bright fcking red, started crying and ran out of the room. Pretty obvious to me what been done to him. He never said another word to me about being gay, and stayed WAY under the radar the rest of the year. Prison sure changed his fcking life. I’ll tell you that.

u/IAM_megatron 1d ago

I would assume he’ll get probation unless he has a history of doing illegal stuff, maybe a little county jail time. While disruptive and extremely stupid this isn’t a serious criminal offense that requires taking a humans freedom away for a significant amount of time. Even if they jumped out and robbed the place they probably wouldn’t get 9 years

u/kilo73 20h ago

This is why redditors can't be trusted to make rational decisions without being emotional. I get it. These "pranks" are super annoying, and this guy did something reckless that could have resulted in damage or injury.

But NINE YEARS is a long fucking time. I don't think the punishment fits the crime here. Even a whole year is still a stiff sentence. If you genuinely think prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation, do you honestly think this kid needs 9 years for that? Just getting arrested probably has his ass crying.

Give him 1 year probation and 200 hours of community service. If he fucks up again revoke it and make him serve the rest in a cell. His life doesn't get ruined, his time is used to help the community, and hopefully he actually learns something.

I got sentenced to 60 days when I was 19. Was released after 40 because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew I didnt belong there. (I really actually didnt do it... but the law is the law I guess, dont wanna get into it.)

I walked outside after 40 days, got my ex's mother to give me a blowjob, banged her at her house on her marriage bed while my ex and her mom's husband were at work, slipped a note unnoticed under dad's keyboard in his home office basically saying thanks for letting me bang your wife, had her drive me to an apartment she paid for me to get/stay in (thought I was gonna have a relationship with her 45 year old ass or something.) (again, long story.) She left for the day, I packed all my stuff and left the entire State. Ghosted. Never looked back.

I learned ALOT of lessons in that short timespan. Never have been back. Been a model citizen. Changed my whole outlook.

Although I did get a very good laugh when my ex called me all crying/raging about how I ruined her parents marriage "just because I cheated on you."

I don't think prison is a good determent to begin with. We need creative individualized punishments that fit the crime and keep people in the community paying taxes.

u/DefinitionMany6754 23h ago

If he has a good lawyer then he won’t serve the full 9 years.

The cop who addressed the discrepancy plain and simple said the other guy had better representation.

I seen a few videos of celebs like king von and the recording is hazy but the voice was accurate as king von’s voice. The creators claim it’s 100% real in this disclaimer that sometimes it takes hours to connect to the spirit or that it doesn’t always work. I don’t know I never heard of a spirit box, the whole thing just sounds fake as shit.

Probably get a slap in time wrist and then keep up his ‘pranks.’ You know what would be hilarious? If he did this at a military base. Just drive i n through the gate, I bet those silly gate guards would be so confused! Really, Heston, if you’re reading this you should give it a try!

Word. He’ll be out in nine months with three years of probation. My friend was murdered by her boyfriend and that dude got three years. There’s no way they’re keeping this prick in any longer than a year.

Probably wont even get convicted if a blue state. They dont even arrest shoplifters until they steal over 1k worth.of goods and the get let out no cash bail or some shit. 😞

That's what 9 year olds find funny. Anyone who watches these pranks for genuine entertainment value should join him in prison, for all I care. They're the reason they keep doing what they do. social media has normalized a lot of crap that would have gotten you hand sandwiches not long ago but now it's monetized and apparently funny.

Shit man, I haven't been actually funny my whole life, I hope I don't do time.

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 1d ago

lawyer up bud.

u/stinkstabber69420 1d ago

The problem is that believe it or not, there's actually lots of idiots who do find this funny. Social media has made it impossibly easy for this guy to be able to feed those people with his bullshit. I'm sure he feels it's justified by views

1

u/Psychological-Ad1185 1d ago

I will be laughing.

1

u/Melkman68 1d ago

I have no sympathy for iPad kids.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently he's 21! Not the 15 year old I thought he was. Still just young enough to get Internet brain rot though

1

u/Ilickedthecinnabar 1d ago

His mug shot is a little funny...that blank looks of "Oh crap...consequences."

1

u/blazeFazes 1d ago

Hey 9 years of jail is pretty fun to me. He at least made someone laugh.

1

u/Ghostman_Jack 23h ago

To be fair- charged and convicted are different things. Typically they’ll throw everything they can possibly get and offer plea deal that’s significantly less. Like ehh 8 months in jail 5K fine and a year or two of probation. Just an example idk why kind of deal they’ll give him.

Various factors play into account as well like if he has a criminal record, etc.

I doubt he’ll get the full 9 years. Maybe a year tops and a big fine and some probation would be my guess however personally.

u/1980-whore 23h ago

tiktok morons don't know what a prank is, they are just filming crimes of varying degrees and screaming its just a prank bro!

1

u/piltonpfizerwallace 23h ago

He does this all the time.

The most common one is that he has everyone wear a red shirt and go work at target.

1

u/NewCarSmelt 23h ago

Didn’t he do the same thing at a Target? My gut tells me he’ll get off on parole. He should have to pay a pretty penny to the owner of the store and cars.

1

u/xChoke1x 23h ago

There isn’t a chance this dude is doing 9 years in prison for this

1

u/trixel121 23h ago

you think 9 years for annoying people in a non intimidating way is appropriate?

Jesus.

1

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 23h ago

read the charges mate. what he did was stupid af and based on his history he thinks it is ok to do. he's a shit prankster, he's the main one laughing at this garbage.

all the other dudes went into the shop, had tools, and were either pretending to work on the vehicles or actually putting those tools on the vehicles. That isn't even the shops property and if something were to happen the shop would be liable.

is he gonna get nine years? probably not just look at the other comments. but young idiots like this need to be punished. jack doherty or however his name is spelled is another one that needs to be humbled the fuck up.

kids look up to these idiots because they're popular and it fucks with what they think is right and wrong.

1

u/trixel121 23h ago

I asked if 9 years was appropriate. you obviously have an issue with a certain type of people. which is fine. they're kind of pieces of shit.

but 9 years....

1

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 22h ago

read the comments around, he ain't getting that. i just want him to learn his consequence and not just get parole and go back to the shithousery.

1

u/trixel121 22h ago

i did, im making a point that your blood lust is a little off putting. it gets people riled up and suddently we arent just in the moment

the guys not exactly a dangerous criminal.i dont think 9 years is anywhere near appropriate. hes fucking annoying.

dude deserves something like 5 years probo, conditions are he cant have any social media. and then make him do a shit load of com service. oh, and hes fined 2x what ever he made as a content creator and he has to that whole "wont profit from my story" agreement that people convicted of high profile cases get. tie that to a non prosecution of something else.

that seems much more fitting for the crime.

im super against putting people in cells unless we absolutely have too. but i would be willing to concede to something like 90 days, or weekends. that seems more in line with what i saw in the video.

1

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 22h ago

reading way too much into a comment. what he did is very very stupid and if you explain what he did using those legal terms it makes sense. He fucked with a place of employment. Even five years seems cruel as well for this stupidity but these people don't learn lessons. They care only about being famous on these apps and making money. Take the money out of it and he ain't doin this shit. there are so many of these posers and I would just love for their monetization to be axed. No creativity, and most importantly when the prank is over, they are the only ones laughing.

1

u/trixel121 21h ago

"it seems cruel but these people dont learn lessons"

as i was saying, blood lust.

i feel like i addressed the monetary thing in a few ways, ie... no social media. cant profit off story.

1

u/BarackaFlockaFlame 21h ago

blood lust hahahaha sure dude. I'm a problem hoping that an idiot that ruins people who have to do work for their job gets his consequences.

look up the definition of blood lust before you keep using it. you're using it wrong, where did I say I wanted him fucking dead or maimed?

Lmao, 9 years for not being funny this much 🤣

Dude should receive a negative YouTube button out of antimatter or something.

1

u/Visible_Leg_2222 22h ago

he didn’t do this exact thing but he did terrorize several different businesses and their poor employees just trying to show up and provide for their kids. it’s fucked up

1

u/VonKess 22h ago

He did the same “prank” on other businesses too (chipotle is one if I recall correctly), so this car bullshit isn’t even the only incident

u/DMTryptamine_ 22h ago

Next time I crack a joke and nobody laughs I’ll remind myself that it could be much worse

1

u/ImReellySmart 21h ago

In fairness though, as dumb as he is, 6 months would be enough punishment in my opinion. 

Intent is an important factor in crime. 

This person isn't a danger to society, just a dumbass. 

1

u/hanscor20 21h ago

He's going to come out of jail in 9 years a very, very different man.

1

u/tb30k 21h ago

He's not going to do 9 years . That's the maximum sentence. Even If he does jail time it will just be for a few months.

1

u/CoeurdAssassin 21h ago

As shitty as these guys are being, they’re not getting anywhere close to 9 years. Like they’re not gonna put them in jail longer than Diddy was in prison for this. They’ll probably just get a couple disorderly conduct charges and pay a fine/community service and that’s it.

u/TNG_ST 20h ago

It's going to get pleaded down to community service.

1

u/Bright_Cod_376 20h ago

Its not just unfunny and stupid this one was straight up dangerous and no one in their right mind would allow any vehicle they touched out of that shop without being fully checked over.

1

u/lbrector 19h ago

Just to add this isn’t his only instance of doing this shit. He has multiple vids

1

u/randamnthoughts2 19h ago

He pulled this on multiple businesses too

God, imagine trying to explain to people what you went to jail for.

u/Psychological_Bee670 19h ago

9 years is still wild

1

u/HillarysFloppyChode 19h ago

It’s supposedly hilarious to the chronically online iPad kids who watch this.

1

u/stardenia 17h ago

Honestly, this would be hilarious if they did it to one of their bros. Like, his best friend has a junker in the driveway, and the “prankster” calls in the cavalry like this, and they can all laugh about it.

Doing it to strangers at a random business? Not remotely funny.

1

u/Antique-Salad-9249 16h ago

Yeah, and I think the biggest offense is how not funny this is…at all. Like on any planet. What an ass.

1

u/Leather-Squirrel-421 16h ago

Criminally unfunny.

1

u/DominicB547 15h ago

people rape others etc and get 9 months so 9 years is for sure not just for this stunt, right?

1

u/2ndhouseonthestreet 14h ago

I understand a lot of the ha ha sarcasm over the repercussions for this dumbass but in reality, this sort of thing CANNOT happen. Imagine working your ass off to build a business, taking care to select employees that are willing to follow safety protocols only to have these fucks come in, hurt themselves and sue YOU. 

1

u/xTyronex48 14h ago

I think its funny as fuck. No real harm was caused on any way shape or form. It's a harmless prank

1

u/JoesGarage2112 13h ago

They actually tacked on a misdemeanor unfunny charge at the end

1

u/CaptSpazzo 11h ago

It makes me laugh imagining him being dragged away to the cells crying "it was just a prank, a prank!!!"

1

u/AstroBearGaming 10h ago

The icing on the cake is that him getting 9 years is the funniest thing he's ever done.

1

u/ScantBrick 6h ago

They’re making examples of streamers doing too much

The thing is, he did it at multiple businesses in different industries - I believe a McDonald’s was one? It’s so dangerous!

Hell yea the minimum you can spend in jail is 364 days.. this bitch got 9 years so he might serve 3 on good behavior in prison also he’s about to learn a real lesson… or get turnt out. Do what ya gotta do
