Damaury Mikula “advised he wanted to do something fun for three seconds,” authorities said of his arrest, “and it cost him.”

A popular social media star is accused of provoking a high-speed chase in Pasco County, Florida, after barreling through a red light and prompting a police officer to follow him.

According to a local report from WFLA, Damaury Mikula — who has more than 4 million followers on TikTok alone — was arrested Friday after doing a “burnout” through an intersection in his gray Dodge Challenger.


According to police, Mikula told them he saw the police following him but thought the incident would be over if he got away. Instead, Florida Highway Patrol arrested him at his home in his driveway.

They say Mikula told them he makes nearly half a million dollars a year “blogging his life.”
