Yahoo Autos Belltown Hellcat Owner Arrested, Banned From Instagram
Read the full story on The Auto Wire
The infamous Belltown Hellcat owner, Miles Hudson, is now sitting behind bars after he was arrested while attending a court hearing on July 29. Once again, the guy wore a mask and head covering in the courtroom, claiming they were religious in nature, making for bizarre behavior we’re sure many will speculate about.
The Belltown Hellcat owner is also possibly facing eviction from his apartment.
Hudson is facing not only reckless driving charges but also domestic violence allegations in the legal system. Those separate criminal cases seem to have the guy backed into a corner for now with his future quite uncertain.
The first case involves Hudson allegedly speeding around in his illegally modified Mopar muscle car, terrorizing people in Seattle. He’s posted about his questionable antics on social media many, many times and used that to gain notoriety as well as hundreds of thousands of followers.
That might be why the judge ordered him to not post on Instagram or Twitch. Those are his biggest platforms. Perhaps the court wasn’t amused at the guy monetizing what many interpret as illegal activities.
Hudson was even recording the court proceedings to put on his social media accounts. It’s almost like the legal battle is some sort of publicity stunt.
The judge ordered Hudson to not drive the Hellcat on public roads. We’ll see if he complies.
We understand many of Hudson’s followers probably think his flouting of the law and angering people where he lives is funny, but there are consequences for behaving that way. It seems Seattle prosecutors want to make an example of the man.
As for the domestic violence case, Hudson has been accused of stalking a young woman whom he dated briefly. Authorities claim when she wouldn’t get back together with him he released revenge porn. If true, he could be facing serious consequences for that alone.
He was ordered to have zero contact with the victim in that case.
It’s possible Hudson is out by the time you read this. His bond was set at just $7,500 and the guy has hinted at being loaded, but his attorney says he’s now broke. He’s facing over $80,000 in fines owed to the city of Seattle, too.
The modifications on his Hellcat, while questionable taste-wise certainly weren’t cheap, so maybe he is flush with cash? If so, he’s probably out of jail but that doesn’t mean he’s off the hook.
