Jake Paul was charged with two misdemeanor charges after being filmed among looters at an Arizona mall

Jake Paul has been charged with two misdemeanors — criminal trespass and unlawful assembly — following a May 30 looting incident at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. However, the 23-year-old YouTube celebrity with over 20 million subscribers on the social media site, denied participating in the crimes. He claimed he was there only to film the incident and participate only in peaceful protests in reaction to the May 25 murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis policemen — all formally charged on June 3.
