It seems someone didn’t ring in the New Year with fireworks and festivities. Social media star Cameron Dallas spent part of his final weekend of 2018 behind bars after he was arrested for an altercation at a Colorado hotel. Dallas, 24, was taken into custody Saturday night after he allegedly punched a man in the face and broke his nose, police told The Aspen Times.
Police were called to the Hyatt Residence Club Grand Aspen just after 5 a.m. Saturday and found a man “bleeding from injuries to his face,” The Aspen Times reported.
The Internet personality, who has more than 5 million subscribers on YouTube and another 21 million followers on Instagram, took to Twitter on Monday to actually confirm his arrest.
“Unfortunately sometimes in life you find yourself in a situation where you have to protect yourself and the people you care about,” Dallas wrote alongside his mugshot. “Have a safe and happy new year, 2019 is going to be an amazing one.”
Dallas was charged with felony second-degree assault with intent to cause bodily injury and was taken to the Pitkin County Jail. He was later released after posting a $5,000 bond.
Dallas rose to fame for his Vine and YouTube videos. He is also the star of the Netflix series “Chasing Cameron.”
