Incest Arrest

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."

Incest Arrest refers to footage of Chris being arrested for incest on his mother.

At approximately past midnight on 30 July 2021, the Incest Call was posted on YouTube, in which Chris confessed to having sex with Barbara Chandler, his mother. Hundreds across the world called the police, leading to Chris being evicted from his home, taking $750 from his mother to stay at a motel on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia, until he was finally arrested by officers of the Henrico County Police Department on 1 August 2021.

The arrest was filmed and livestreamed by internet personality Ethan Ralph and his crew. Additionally, footage of the arrest was captured on the bodycams worn by police officers, and the footage was later acquired by YouTube channel EWU Bodycam.

On the evening of 31 July, Reddit user Chrisisaman located Son-Chu at the Regency Inn in Richmond, confirming that Chris was in the city and that he would be spending time in a motel. The next day, a number of people attempted to observe or contact Chris there. Observers noticed police cars stationed at the motel, but because the place was known to have a seedy reputation, it was not obvious if they were there for Chris or for some other reason. These cop cars eventually left without arresting Chris.

The most significant of the observers was YouTuber Ethan Ralph who livestreamed himself and his friends driving to the motel to meet Chris. The group ordered a pizza in the hopes of luring him out, but this was unsuccessful. They then went about knocking on every door on the second floor (Chris had previously been filmed walking along the second floor balcony, suggesting that was where he was staying), but this was fruitless as well, and only led to the menagerie being ordered to leave by a motel employee.

Not giving up, the group went to the Regency Mall (of 'the bear' fame) across the street, following (incorrect) speculation that Chris might be there since he was not in his room. While livestreaming at the mall they had an encounter with a police officer, who would happen to be one of the officers who arrested Chris a few hours later (as Ethan acknowledges during the arrest).

Later that afternoon, Ralph was tipped off that four Henrico County police cars had shown up at the motel. At around 6:00 PM, he got back just in time to film two officers perp-walking Chris down from his room, streaming the whole debacle for a live audience of over 3,000 viewers. While the police talked to Chris, Ralph sporadically yelled questions and comments, to which Chris occasionally responded. Despite trying to turn Chris against Null, who Ralph had a grudge against, Chris did not respond to these questions, nor did he respond to Ralph's offers to have him appear on the Killstream after his release.

Unlike Chris's previous run-ins with the law, he remained mostly calm and compliant during the arrest (possibly due to The WCT having advised him the previous day to cooperate with the police during his arrest), though he rambled about the Dimensional Merge to both the police and Ralph's crew, promising that the Merge was in fact happening right at that moment. The police then loaded Chris into a squad car and left without answering Ralph's questions. An additional POV shot filmed by an anonymous onlooker showed Chris climbing directly into the cop car.

Highlights

As Chris is being arrested, a police officer points a taser at him and warns that if he fights he will be tased. Chris then says he will comply.

While the officers double-check the arrest warrant, Chris tells them that his husband Magi-Chan is giving them a "gentle punch" across dimensions. Chris then encourages Magi-Chan to punch harder. Chris tried to elicit a reaction from the police, but one simply replied that he did not feel anything.
