YouTuber Chris Sails is reportedly in legal trouble after allegedly lying to police about his children being in danger, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Per the outlet’s report, the Waller County Sheriff’s Office responded after Sails allegedly claimed his kids had fallen into a body of water. However, officers reportedly determined once they arrived that the children were safe and unharmed, contradicting the alarming claim Sails allegedly made. As a result, TMZ reports, Sails ended up in handcuffs.
The court documents obtained by TMZ reportedly detail the allegations against the YouTuber, though the full scope of the charges he faces was not immediately clear from the initial report. TMZ’s report indicates law enforcement treated the alleged false claim seriously given it involved children’s safety, prompting an emergency response before officers say they discovered the situation did not match what was reported.
Chris Sails has built a large following on YouTube, where he has documented much of his personal and family life for his audience over the years. Details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, including what may have prompted the alleged false report, were not fully outlined in the excerpt of the story published so far.
This is a developing story, and further details about the arrest, any charges filed, and Sails’ response to the allegations may emerge as more information becomes available. TMZ’s original report can be found here.
