Florida man was arrested for drunk driving on stream, and it was his mom reporting his YouTube videos that led to it

A Florida man is facing the consequences of his actions after he was arrested for drunk driving during a live broadcast on YouTube, Dexerto reported. Thomas Leininger, 37, was taken into custody in Vero Beach on August 23, following a series of events that began with his own mother contacting the authorities.

His mother reached out to the police because she had been watching his YouTube videos and became concerned. She noticed that he appeared to be intoxicated and was also making threats during the stream. She believed that the background in his videos indicated he was near Riverside Park, though initial searches by officers in that area did not turn up his vehicle.
