by Streamer’s Arrest
A TikTok influencer who had been evading police for the past year has finally been caught. Over 18 months after he allegedly wrecked his purple McLaren 720S in Great Britain, British streamer Harrison Sullivan, better known to his subscribers as HSTikkyTokky, was detained after returning to the country.
Court Proceedings and Escape
The 24-year-old man was scheduled for a hearing at Guildford Magistrates’ Court last November to answer several driving-related charges stemming from the March accident. Despite the seriousness of the incident, which resulted in injuries to his friend and fellow influencer General G in the passenger seat, Sullivan reportedly fled the scene on foot.
Disappearance and Mockery
Authorities have been pursuing Sullivan since he failed to appear at the hearing. Over the past year, he is believed to have spent considerable time living and traveling in the Middle East. At one point, he was even expected to participate in an influencer boxing match in Qatar. While abroad, Sullivan also used social media to repeatedly mock the ongoing investigation, posting videos allegedly showing him in Essex, even though he was believed to be thousands of kilometers away.
However, as is often the case, Sullivan found out that you can only run from the law for so long, and last Friday he was arrested upon returning to the UK.

Crash Details
Images published online after the March 2024 accident showed the entire front end of the McLaren destroyed after a collision with an Audi. Sullivan’s passenger, General G, was filmed rolling in pain near the crash site, but HS was nowhere to be seen.
Charges and Financial Status
He now faces several charges, including driving without third-party insurance, using a mobile phone while driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, and dangerous driving. Despite his legal troubles, Sullivan previously claimed to earn over 25 million dollars a year from his online ventures. Nevertheless, given the seriousness of the charges, he may have finally found a bill large enough to impact those earnings.

This story shows how social media can create an illusion of impunity, but reality eventually catches up even with the most influential personalities. The hunt for Sullivan lasted almost two years, indicating significant resources allocated by law enforcement. His arrest underscores that the legal system does not forget offenders, regardless of their status or wealth. Such cases can have serious consequences for influencers, who often build careers on public image.
