A South Florida man who subsequently reached socia media fame for his stunts, including snatching food from local corner stores, was arrested over his latest prank.
Known on social media as Boonk IG, John Robert Hill was arrested after he reportedly stole a tray of doughnuts from a Dunkin’ Donuts in Miami Gardens. Which was all recorded and posted to his social media account.
Hill was filmed jumping over the counter into an employee-area and grabbing a tray of doughnuts worth $38 before walking out of the store, the report said. Now charged with burglary and petit theft after the May 13 incident at the shop at 18801 Northwest 2nd Avenue, according to an arrest report.
Hill has received a ton of celebrity attention, all shining a light on just how stupid the young mans stunts. I guess any publicity is good publicity right?
Public Defender, Kelsey Cruz pled to the judge that
“This is one of those like, ‘do it for the Vine,’ internet type of funny things. Not that funny or that smart, but ultimately he did give it back, judge.”
There are several videos posted to YouTube that shows the reckless behavior of Hill from snatching sodas at a gas station, to stealing a pizza from a Little Caesar’s.
The judge referred Hill to a court program with an alternate bond of $1,500 and warned him to stay away from the Dunkin Donuts at Miami Gardens. After the ruling Judge Mindy Glazer said.
“Try Krispy Kreme, but stay out of this stuff,”.
Hill pled not guilty and was sentenced to 60 days of probation.
