Narcissistic personality disorder doesn't give you a pass to hit a guy in the back of the head with your gun who was walking away from the conflict. Certainly, not an excuse for 2 counts aggravated assault w/deadly weapon, aggravated battery w/deadly weapon & battery on officer.

Icy Wyatt, who has over 1.3 million followers on TikTok, allegedly got into a fight with another driver at a Chic-Fil-A parking lot.
Reason behind Icy Wyatt’s arrest
According to police, Icy Wyatt was driving recklessly before pulling over in the middle of the road in Sunrise, Florida. Two people allegedly told him to move his car, which triggered him. The fights then moved to a Chick-fil-A parking lot, where both parties got out of their cars and started arguing.
Wyatt allegedly then reached into his glove compartment, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at them. The report further states that one of the alleged victims turned back to get in the car, which prompted Wyatt to strike them in the back of the head with the gun, before he fled the scene.
Bodycam arrest footage of Icy Wyatt tackled by police while resisting arrest
Police have recently revealed the bodycam footage of the police officer who arrested Icy Wyatt during the incident in 2022. The video, which is about 16 minutes long, shows police officers speaking to the victims and witnesses about the argument. The officers then inquire about the where Wyatt had gone, but later find out he had already left the scene.
The officers eventually find Wyatt leaving his house later that day as he drives a very recognizable pink Mercedes. Upon making contact, the officers tell the TikTok star:
Put your hands out the window” and then say “Get out of the car.”
To which, Wyatt replies:
Don’t you know who I am?”
As Wyatt gets out of the car, he refuses to lie on the ground, despite the officers telling him to. This results in the officers tackling Icy Wyatt from behind and searching him before they handcuff him. While this happens, the popular TikTok star continuously questions the officers about their actions.
The officers then take Wyatt to the station, where he continues to question them while refusing to take off his jewelry before entering jail. As Wyatt continues to trouble the officers and even kicks one officer, his attitude quickly changes when he gets into the car for the final time with a female officer. He quickly begins to compliment her and tells her she could be doing “so much better” with her life.
Icy Wyatt faces multiple arrest charges
Following his arrest, Icy Wyatt was jailed on multiple charges. He is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, another count of battery on an officer, and finally one count of resisting arrest. Despite all the five charges laid against him, Wyatt pleaded not guilty and is still waiting for his court date.
Icy Wyatt waiting to reveal his side of the story to the public
Following the new going viral, Wyatt quickly released a statement on his TikTok, which surprisingly differed from the police reports. While making his statement video on his TikTok, Wyatt argues:
The rumors are not true.”
He further went on to say that the police were in the wrong, but he couldn’t say much since he was still seeking legal action. As such, he stated that he is unable to reveal his side of the story.
Following the recent release of the bodycam footage, Wyatt made another statement, where he claims that he wanted to release the footage himself. He added:
People are just saying the nastiest thing without knowing the backstory at all, and I know my real fans know my backstory”.
