Franky Venegas of the Island Boys pretended he was his twin brother Alex when he was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May in connection with reckless driving.
Police said in documents reviewed byTMZthat 22-year-old Venegas, also known as Kodiyakredd, was seen speeding behind the wheel of a yellow Corvette Stingray on May 24.
Officers also claimed they sawVenegas speed into a parking lotand received a report that his vehicle and occupants of a nearby gray vehicle were “armed with guns,” the outlet reported.
Police say they responded by putting their emergency lights on and swarmed in, making contact with Venegas, who they say identified himself as his brother Alex. They added that they determined he was not being truthful when they saw his state identification card and ran a background check providing further details.
The background check indicated that Franky did not have a valid driver’s license, officials said.
Venegas was subsequently taken into custody at Broward County Jail in connection with reckless driving, driving without a valid license, and providing false identification. He was let out of custody on May 25 on a $800 bond, the ABC Miami affiliateLocal10reported.
The two haven’t been able to escape drama since going viral, with many questionable choices leaving viewers divided. This has included numerous feuds withTikTokers, YouTubers, and celebrities, and beingraided by police.
