Social Media Influencer "Liver King" Arrested in Austin for Terroristic Threat

A social media influencer known as "Liver King" has been arrested in Austin.

Arrest records show Brian Johnson, 47, was booked into the Travis County Jail Tuesday night and charged with terroristic threat, a Class B misdemeanor. As of Wednesday morning, officials had not confirmed who the alleged threat was made against.

A video posted to Johnson's Instagram account shows him in handcuffs and being placed in a police car. Another video, posted right before, depicts him getting dressed and asking what "they" will let him take, presumably referring to the arresting officers.

Earlier in the week, Johnson had posted a video threatening Joe Rogan, a mega-podcaster based in Austin.

"Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King," Johnson said. "Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready."

This is a developing story.
