Reason behind the arrest

The NYPD arrested Squeeze Benz on May 21, 2024, following a hit-and-run that took place earlier this year, in April. Notably, Ginestri posted a video alongside popular Kick streamer N3on where the pair went on a wild ride throughout New York and ended with a hit-and-run.

Squeeze Benz allegedly made an illegal turn in the video before proceeding to escape the police at high speeds. Upon further investigation, police officials found out that Benz committed various traffic violations throughout the tri-state area, all just to antagonize the police. As a result, Newark detectives coordinated with the NYPD Auto Crimes Manhattan Unit, located Ginestri, and charged him.

Following the arrest, Chief Miranda stated:

We trust that this arrest sends a strong message that Newark is not a playground for daredevil drivers seeking social media likes.”

Squeeze Benz released from prison

Following the arrest, however, Squeeze Benz appears to have been released after he recently shared a post on Instagram. In the post, Squeeze revealed that he currently cannot go live due to community guideline violations and he has since opted to create a new Twitch account. As such, Ginestri could still yet face numerous other pending charges from law enforcement agencies throughout the whole country.
