The 32-year-old YouTuber who filmed himself driving a motorcycle over 150 mph on Interstate 25 is in custody at the El Paso County Jail and set to appear in court Thursday, according to jail records.
Rendon Dietzmann was arrested in north Texas on Feb. 7 after the Colorado State Patrol issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of menacing, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, engaging in a speed contest, speeding more than 40 mph over the limit and engaging in a speed exhibition, all of which are misdemeanors or traffic violations.
Dietzmann, who posts YouTube videos under the username Gixxer Brah, in September posted a video of himself driving from Colorado Springs to Denver on I-25 in 20 minutes.
The since-deleted video showed Dietzmann going over 150 mph, squeezing through small gaps between vehicles and weaving between lanes and the highway shoulder, according to a clip shared by the Colorado State Patrol.
The agency issued a warrant for his arrest in December and shared it in a news release in late January.
Before his arrest, Dietzmann sold T-shirts on his website with the words “Colorado’s Most Wanted” printed under a photo of a motorcycle.
Dietzmann had been extradited to Colorado and was in custody at the El Paso County Jail on a $1,000 bail as of Wednesday night, according to jail records. He is set to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
