YouTube star Cody Shane Detwiler, better known as WhistlinDiesel, has found himself in serious legal trouble, not because of another fiery stunt, but over alleged tax evasion.
On November 12, 2025, Tennessee authorities arrested Detwiler in Williamson County, charging him with two felony counts tied to the purchase of his now–infamous 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo in January 2023, which went up in flames in a viral video. Once count is against Detwiler personally, and the other is against his company, WhistlinDiesel, LLC.
