YouTuber Faces Charges for Helicopter Fireworks Stunt on Lamborghini
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA (June 7, 2024) — Suk Min Choi, known as “Alex Choi” on YouTube, was arrested following allegations of orchestrating a dangerous stunt involving a helicopter and fireworks in San Bernardino County.
The Justice Department has charged Choi with causing the placement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft, a felony that could result in up to ten years in federal prison.
