Popular British YouTuber JMX has been arrested at Ascot Races on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

JMX, who’s widely known within the FIFA community, was arrested on June 24 at the Royal Ascot Races — one of Britain’s most well-known horse racecourses.

In a TikTok posted late on June 24, the YouTube star, who has amassed over 2.4 million followers to date, can be seen being escorted out of the racecourse by several officers while in handcuffs — before being placed in the back of a police van.

Dexerto reached out to Thames Valley police for more information on the arrest. A statement from Thames Valley police reveals that a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly:

“Officers at Ascot Racecourse yesterday arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

“He has since been released from custody and issued with a fixed penalty notice,” the statement read.

Who is JMX?

JMX, whose real name Joel Morris is a FIFA YouTuber known for sexually suggestive ‘strip FIFA’ videos — many of which have garnered tens of millions of views.

The 25-year-old headlined the third Misfits influencer boxing event of 2023 in April, facing NFL star Le’Veon Bell as the main event on the Series 006 card.

JMX has even been linked to touching gloves with YouTube star and Prime Hydration co-owner Logan Paul on several occasions — although no fight has been officially agreed on yet.
