This is not Alex’s first run-in with the law, in March of this year he uploaded a video titled “Police SEIZED my car and sent me to JAIL!!!” where he claims he was arrested after attending an illegal stunt show in Los Angeles where people were injured. In September of this year, Choi’s behavior drew the ire of the automotive and motorcycle community when he narrowly missed a motorcyclist while attempting to a donut on a public road, riders called to have Alex Choi arrested for that incident as well.
