YouTube Prankster Tackled, Arrested for Doing Front Flip Over Cops in Viral Video — But Did He Break Any Laws?

Mar. 20, 2013 9:36pm Jason Howerton

Looking to create a YouTube video worthy of two million-plus views and unworthy of getting arrested by police, 18-year-old video prankster Charles Ross decided to do an acrobatic flip over two Sarasota County sheriff’s deputies who were sitting on a park bench in Sarasota, Fla.

He accomplished only one of his goals.

The video, uploaded to YouTube on Saturday, has already gotten more than two million views, however, it also landed Ross in a pair of cuffs.

(YouTube)

After landing the impressive flip without touching the cops, one of the unamused deputies told him “the next time you do this we will be forced to do something.”

Ross acknowledged their warning and told them he understood. But once one of the deputies realized he had recorded the stunt, he completely changed his tone.

“Because you just filmed that, I’m about to ruin your day and erase it,” the cop said.

“No you’re not,” Ross replied. When he went after his camera, the two deputies tackled him to the ground and handcuffed him.

Watch the video below:

While the stunt was certainly ill-advised, did the 18-year-old, identified as Charles Ross by WWMT-TV, really break any laws?

Deputy Chris Shale, of the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department, told TheBlaze that Charles Ross was arrested on Nov. 10 of 2012 at 948 Beach Road in Sarasota, the same location where he says the video was filmed. He was charged with both culpable negligence and resisting arrest without violence.

According to Florida state law, culpable negligence is described as the following:

(1) Whoever, through culpable negligence, exposes another person to personal injury commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2) Whoever, through culpable negligence, inflicts actual personal injury on another commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(3) Whoever violates subsection (1) by storing or leaving a loaded firearm within the reach or easy access of a minor commits, if the minor obtains the firearm and uses it to inflict injury or death upon himself or herself or any other person, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. However, this subsection does not apply:
(a) If the firearm was stored or left in a securely locked box or container or in a location which a reasonable person would have believed to be secure, or was securely locked with a trigger lock;
(b) If the minor obtains the firearm as a result of an unlawful entry by any person;
(c) To injuries resulting from target or sport shooting accidents or hunting accidents; or
(d) To members of the Armed Forces, National Guard, or State Militia, or to police or other law enforcement officers, with respect to firearm possession by a minor which occurs during or incidental to the performance of their official duties.

It appears the deputies feel the prank exposed them to potential personal injury.

Shale was unable to find out if Ross served jail time or whether the case was still pending. Ross was also arrested for battery in January for giving people wedgies outside the Carmike Royal Palm 20 movie theater in Bradenton, Fla.

Hey, the deputies got one more warm body for their arrest quota. Who can blame them for going after a harmless, unarmed, non-threatening kid, rather than actually doing something to earn their pay?

  @Peepee I was just thinking of that yesterday, how large is our standing army. Of course the BAR asso (drop the o) won’t allow para militants to be counted, because they have a monopoly on the legal system. Between DHS, FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF, marshals, secret service, sheriff’s deputies, local PD, NSA, DEA, NCIS and a few dozen more nobody knows about, what kind of standing army are we looking at?
  And why should former para militants be allowed to staff internal affairs? We all know they are just going to stick up for the cops.

  I read the linked article. Fornal was on the way out either because he was bad from the beginning or the job soured him on people.
  
  I still don’t think that a kid, adolescent, young adult or anyone else should be able distract, get in the face of, or pull stunts around or above cops or other people.
  
  If I were part of a criminal organization ( I am not) & wanted to off a cop ( I do not), I might hire street kids or someone to distract once twice or days on end. There are a lot of street kids in Latin America and Latin America is coming here along with the cartels & other gangs. If you do not have space, you do not have reaction time.
  
  This is a simple hi jinx. It is one of those stunts where on TV they warn you do not try this at home. If they did not have the warning there is a good probability that they would be sued if someone tried it home & hurt themselves or someone else. That someone else in this case would be the LEO. people are arguing “there was no harm & no foul.” I would argue “there could have been harm, there was a slight foul” And thus there should be a graduate & progressive punishment. Maybe an explanation on why it is dangerous or a warning ticket.

  If there is any doubt that the police are an enemy of the American citizens …this video should end that. They gave him a warning which he was obeying and then arrested him because the world got to see what ******** they were in the first place.
  And what the kid did was disruptive but it didn’t put anyone in harms way except for the kid himself it he didn’t stick the landing.

In the old days the cops would have night sticked him in both knees, took him into the police station, threw him in a cell, and then kicked him in the _uts. He would have spent the night in jail and been sited for endangering an officer of the law. Also they would have taken his camera and he would never have seen it again.. Too bad this film made it to the internet. Ah….for the good old days. PIne, pine.

  I’m with you, he wanted to get a reaction from the cops. He got one. They were minding their own business and this little idiot thought he had the right to interrupt their day. He’s lucky he didn’t kick one of them in the head. Cops have been known to beat the sh$t outta people.

  My biggest problem is…. it looks more like assault by the cops to me. The cops were only talking to him and not trying to put him under arrest when he went for his camera and was tackled. To me, there was absolutely NO justification to assault the boy going for his camera.
  There was no resisting arrest. He was running away from them. His back was turned when he was tackled etc etc.
  I say excessive force by the police.
  Where does it say you have to stay and talk to a cop if they are not placing you under arrest????
  Police have TOO much authority these days.

Risk never leaves – people are killed in there beds by falling trees in snow storms… These police have armor on… If a car drives by too close to what a policeman thinks they should, could they too be arrested???
  
  I’m thinking there are too many Government Agents… Local police, county sheriff, state police, an untold number of federally related police: ie post office, FBI, immigration, homeland security, TSA, and thats just to name a few…

This sort of behavior is why no one trusts cops any more. They way overreacted.
Cops have become bullies, just because they have a badge and know they can get away with it.
The kid should not have been arrested. The cops should have told him to just not do it again.

  The cops did over react, but the kid was also very stupid. I know I would not have taken kindly to that stunt, either if I was one of them.
  
  There’s no such thing as no-harm-no-foul. If you shoot at someone and miss, it’s attempted murder.
  
  The kid meant no harm, so that should mean a slap-on-the-wrist with a “don’t do that again.”
  
  But the stunt made him a nuisance and a potential danger. If he screwed up his jump or if the person he flipped over panicked, it could have resulted in injury. That’s worth a talking to by the cops.

  Is your assumption an indication of superior knowledge about how other well react?
  Is your assumption that other people are not educated in virtues?
  Therefore your role is protector of others because of your superior knowledge and wisdom.
  
  The kid did what he did. The cops clearly didn’t react as if in danger. The cops were clearly passive until he said the words about filming. Then I suspect they assumed they will look foolish and instead of showing humans skills, thoughtful action, they went animal and reacted.
  
  So which people in this event are likely to escalate an event without thinking. That kind of escalation could result is bodily harm.

  Funny, if you lie to a cop it’s a crime but if they lie to you, it’s their job. They also lie about what your rights are and if you dispute the lie, they charge you with resisting. Most people are too ignorant to stand up to cops and get their rights obliterated. If you know your constitution, know your rights, it absolutely infuriates cops. The lose their minds when you know your rights and they cannot stand it. The curse at you, threaten you, berate you, lie to you…but in the end….they walk away because most know what their legal limits are. Cops today are lying bastards who are second responders and usually cause more harm than good. A well armed citizenry will eliminate 99% of crime. Cops are there to clean up after the heavy lifting is done. If you rely on them to save you, then your life is in peril.

  When he did the wedgie thing, someone should have beat him into the pavement. I don’t bother others, and I don’t take anything from them either. You don’t just grab somebody and give them a wedgie. His little punk buddies might do it to each other, but he needs to learn to respect other people. We can argue whether he deserved to be arrested, but this little punk needs his butt stomped by one of his victims until his attitude changes.

  But, the dudes with the guns seemed unflinched
  admonishing with verbal warning.
  
  They didn’t seemed alarmed or afraid…
  ~> till they realized they were video-punked.

  Hi Spirited,
  
  He’s lucky the Cop’s reactions were slow. I agree with a verbal warning. I think as a few moments passed and they realized they were “punked” it did get the better of them.
  
  Still, you don’t do things like that to armed people. I’m a lot quicker than those two Cops sitting there taking a break. He’s lucky to be alive.

  Mr or Ms THE MONK,
  
  This is what you must know
  
  Life getting to ya? Job got you down? Don’t take out your frustrations by murdering teen pranksters who cause no harm. Relax. Order a pizza. Stare at the trees. Commune with dragonflies. Enlighten your fellow man with a new and exotic holy text. There are so many options. Don’t murder happy teens.
  
  It is so.
