The police said Mikula told them he makes almost half a million dollars a year “blogging his life.”
“Mr. Mikula advised his state of mind was that he is young, makes a lot of money, and has a fast car, and he can do whatever he wants,” Trooper W. Kelly said. “Mr. Mikula advised he wanted to do something fun for three seconds, and it cost him.”
The 18-year-old was charged with fleeing/eluding police with disregard of safety to persons or property, reckless driving and racing on a highway, according to a report from Fox News. The social media star posted bail and was released on Saturday morning.
