A viral video circulating on social media, which purports to show popular streamer
Local authorities have identified the man in the video as 23-year-old
Details of the Arkansas Police Incident
According to official reports, the pursuit began late on August 19 after a state trooper, identified as Theodore Henderson, observed a 2023 Infiniti QX50 traveling at 82 mph in a 60-mph zone. The vehicle subsequently reached speeds of up to 130 mph before being brought to a halt. Tedrick Washington was a passenger in the rear of the vehicle at the time of the stop.
The footage shows Trooper Henderson breaking the rear window of the SUV with a baton after Washington reportedly stated he was unable to exit the vehicle. Henderson then pulled Washington from the car. In his official report, the trooper stated that Washington appeared to be preparing to strike him, leading Henderson to punch the passenger in the face. The officer reported striking Washington again while other personnel assisted in placing him under arrest.
Legal Consequences and Misinformation
Following the arrest, Tedrick Washington was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental operations. The driver of the vehicle, Adonerus Johnson, faces multiple charges, including felony fleeing and driving while intoxicated. While the Gosnell Police Department conducted a review of the force used by one of the officers involved and deemed it justified, records do not indicate a separate administrative finding regarding Trooper Henderson’s specific actions during the encounter.
The widespread misinformation linking the streamer to the incident appears to have originated from social media posts that misidentified the passenger. Despite the viral nature of these claims, there is no factual basis for the assertion that Kai Cenat was involved in the altercation. Authorities have clarified that the individual in the video is exclusively Tedrick Washington, and the streamer remains unaffiliated with the events that transpired in Arkansas.
