QCP’s arrest reportedly took place in September 2022. TMZ shared in October 2022 that the Los Angeles Police Department arrested the Charlotte, N.C., local for “criminal ownership of a stolen vehicle."

The vehicle in question? A U-Haul van — which QCP’s roommate had reportedly rented and never returned.

Here's what happened: On Friday, Sept. 9, officers pulled QCP over while he was driving the van. When they ran the U-Haul’s plates, police discovered that it had been reported it as stolen — something QCP had no idea about, as his rep told TMZ.

Apparently the company had previously reported the vehicle as stolen when it hadn't been paid for or returned by the renter.

QCP reportedly explained to cops that he had borrowed the van from his roommate, but he was arrested and booked and eventually released on a $25,000 bail.

The TikToker hasn't been charged, and since the arrest, the roommate has allegedly paid the required fees. As such, QCP’s reps believe the case will be dismissed, especially as QCP doesn't have a history of car theft.
