Along with Duke, there were other Twitch streamers too, like Kai Cenat and Din “Agent00.” They arranged the event in New York City. Unfortunately, the gathering turned into violence, unexpectedly. Now, the question is- what did Duke Dennis do, while meeting his fellow fans?
Duke Dennis is an incredible gaming star, more popular on Twitch and YouTube. Besides his channel, he is also a part of the collaborative, AMP. Well, he was born in 1994 and hails from Georgia.

Coming back to Duke Dennis, the event was that of the distribution of 300 PlayStation consoles, free of cost. It was announced by Kai Cenant.

Duke Dennis Got Arrested: Here Is Why
The giveaway event took place on 4 August at Union Square Park in New York. Well, the crowd was so much that it called for the “level 4” mobilization. To be more exact, 1000 officers were deployed to the area during the event. In case you don’t know, it’s the highest form of emergency response. Accidentally, it led to incidents of vandalism, violence, and the destruction of public property.
It was around 5 p.m. when Duke Dennis, Kai Cenat, and Agent00- the trio got arrested. Several videos of them getting escorted to the police vehicle went viral on the internet. After some time, it was revealed that the event was not at all authorized.
It was reported that Kai Cenat would be imposed with two charges including- increments of riots, and unlawful assembly. Even though the police department didn’t cite the names of other AMP members. But, Duke Dennis would also be charged with the same, as presumed.
We saw Duke Dennis getting handcuffed and walking away by the cops. While the entire crowd screamed around him. Well, we aren’t sure if the influencer was taken into custody and later detained.
The crowd became chaotic enough, with many settings off fireworks. Some even started hurling bottles and pushing over barricades. It became so dangerous that other people were requested to avoid that particular area. It’s been a few days since the incident happened. Duke Dennis didn’t share or provide an update about his current status. Therefore, we are clueless about it. However, it was later reported that a total of 65 people were arrested. Out of them, 30 were juveniles.
Concerning Duke Dennis’ arrest, it was not his first time though (if happened). Earlier, sometime in 2021, he got imprisoned as several allegations, more precisely, charges were made against him. That included domestic abuse and sexual assault on a minor girl. The NBA digital gamer cleared the air by pleading that he was innocent. Later, it was found that the incident took place while he was a high school student. So, it was all in the past. But, Duke Dennis continued denying to commit those acts.
