Daniel: ...press charges. Just because somebody came in here!
Employee 1: No, because you tried to assault me.
Daniel: I never assaulted you.
Employee 1: When you threaten someone physically, it's assault. I don't have to explain it to you.
Daniel: I never... I never put hands on you! You, y- OK, so that gives you the right to put hands on me? Wow!
Employee 1: You were going to hit me.
Daniel: You put... you were trying to put hands on me! I put my hands up to block you! My entire family's gonna be pressing charges! I have investigators, I have people that can like, literally shut this place down! I'm doing absolutely nothing! My f*cking face is bleeding because of you!
Employee 1: That's from punching yourself in the face.
Daniel: No! Because you, you- you tried to press charges on me!
Employee 1: Really?
Daniel: My f*cking family's terrified! [camera flips to show Daniel's bloodied face]
Employee 1: OK. Well when the police get here, you'll be safe.
Daniel: Uh, I'm not going to jail! [camera flips to front]
Employee: That's-
Daniel: Because I didn't do anything!
Employee 1: That's for the police to decide.
Daniel: I have it all on film!
Employee 1: You need to get out.
Daniel: I'm a f*cking celebrity, you treat me like sh*t!
Employee 1: Because 'unintelligible'
Daniel: You wanna try to murder me is what you wanna do!
Employee 1: I wanna make sure you're safe.
Daniel: No you don't! You... you wanna press charges! You've already stated that!
Employee 1: You threw a table at me.
Daniel: I never threw a table at you, you were across the room. You were standing right where you stand right now. I just moved the table to try to create a barrier so you couldn't put hands on me. I have my lawyers ready to leak this all over the internet. There was somebody actually trying to do a drive-by shooting. That's why I came in here. I'm a celebrity, I have rights! I HAVE RIGHTS to protect myself!
Employee: You called people the N-word in here.
Daniel: So you're saying, you're saying I can't f*cking protect myself.
Employee 1: No...
Daniel: So go ahead and put hands on me. 'Daniel gets up' Cut me with a knife!
Employee 1: No! You're out of control right now!
Daniel: I'm NOT out of control, OK? I'm not out of control at all! I will make sure this goes all over Hollywood. I will make sure TMZ, 9 News, everybody covers this. A matter of fact, last time I was in jail, they actually cleared the case, got it all lifted, and all of the jail footage was leaked. The police officers lost their job. Cause I'm gonna tell the police that you tried to assault me. Tina, I need you to leak this all over the Internet. I have every single right to record my safety.
Officer: Yeah. Get yourself out. Stand up.
Daniel: Uh... uh, can I, can I talk-
Officer: Uh, unplug your stuff and stand up.
Daniel: Can I talk to you for a moment?
Officer: Sure, as long as you're standing up while unplugging your phone and walking out of the store.
Daniel: I will be more than happy to do that.
Officer: OK.
Daniel: I- there's actually a very serious issue that has happened, and I need to report it, and I've already called.
Officer: So, 'unintelligible' punch yourself in the face and you can't relax.
Daniel: So, I'm famous, OK. I've already got investigations for..
Officer: What are you famous for?
Daniel: I'm a singer-songwriter.
Officer: OK.
Daniel: I have..
Officer: When's the last time you used drugs or alcohol today?
Daniel: I don't use drugs and I don't use alcohol.
Officer: Eyeballs say differently.
Daniel: I always have a dry eye.
Officer: Well, it's not dry, dilated pupils while you're inside sitting in a light.
Daniel: That's because I'm always on my phone.
Officer: Because they would've changed back already because you've been off your phone for almost a minute. That's how the eyeballs work.
Daniel: I don't do drugs and I don't do alcohol.
[video cuts]
Officer: ...mental health issues that you've been diagnosed with?
Daniel: Just autism.
Officer: Just autism?
Daniel: Yes.
Officer: OK. Do you have any weapons on you I need to know about?
Daniel: I don't, you can...
Officer: Don't reach in your pockets, you can leave that alone.
Daniel: But, the- I came in here because I was having an issue with...
Employee 1: You don't need to do that anymore.
Daniel: I came in here because I was having an issue with the troll/hater in my fanbase community outside threatening me with a gun. OK? They were threatening me to do a drive-by shooting along this shopping center.
Officer: What's your first name?
Daniel: Daniel.
Officer: Daniel?
Daniel: My last name is Larson. I don't know who the people..
Officer: What's your birth date?
Daniel: It's 11/15/1998.
Officer: 98?
Daniel: Yes
Officer: What's your phone number, Daniel?
Daniel: I don't know, because I just got a new number.
Officer: Why are all the tables and sh*t turned over, Daniel? [video turns off]
Daniel: I- 'stammers' the manager tried to put hands on me to escort me outside.
Officer: I don't think that was probably it.
Daniel: And...
Officer: He says you're in here acting like a looney-tunes!
Daniel: I... I felt, I felt endangered, and so I... I put...
Officer: So you act like a looney-tunes?
Daniel: I, I knocked down the tables to try to create a barrier so I could be on one side and they could be on the other.
Officer: (interrupting as Daniel finishes) Daniel, I'm gonna be real with ya. That's a piss poor excuse, bud.
Daniel: But I, I felt in danger.
Officer: So you punched yourself in the face a bunch of times?
Daniel: The manager was threatening to press charges on me.
Officer: So if you come in here flipping tables over, and punching yourself in the face, and they say "leave", and you say "no", and they say "yes, we're gonna trespass you", and you say "no", that's trespassing. Where'd all these fans come from? They just, found you out of nowhere?
Daniel: I, I have- I'm a singer-songwriter. I have music on iHeartRadio.
Officer: What's your best song?
Daniel: Umm, Roaring Thunder. It has...
Officer: Roaring Thunder?
Daniel: Yes, it has over...
Officer: Play it for me.
Daniel: It has over 5 million views. [Daniel shows Officer his YouTube] This is my entire YouTube. So the list goes on and on.
Officer: I can't see anything, you're scrolling so fast.
Daniel: And, I'm even dating this person. (likely a photo of Grace VanderWaal) There's even...
Officer: Well, look at that!
Daniel: I'm currently homeless.
Officer: You're homeless, but you got 5 million views on YouTube, don't they pay you for that?
Daniel: Uh, they do, but I'm dealing with a family crisis...
Officer: Let me see your YouTube page.
Daniel: ...and a lot of my money is showing to the family crisis. I'm extremely, extremely famous.
Officer: What's your, what's your- do you have a TikTok?
Daniel: I do have a TikTok as well, yes.
Officer: Ah.
Daniel: My... my handle...
Officer: Something freedom?
Daniel: Is um, no, it is... yeah it's daniellarsonfreedom.
Officer: Someone sent that to our PD, and said and gave that handle to that TikTok.
Daniel: Yes.
Officer: It doesn't have a big party. Are you part of some group?
[cuts to later]
Officer: Why did you punch yourself in the face a bunch of times?
Daniel: Um, I'm- I'm getting banned - I'm getting banned from so many places, I'm struggling to make a living. That's the issue.
Officer: Why'd you get banned from all of them?
Daniel: Like I was saying, because fans are coming in, trolls, I don't have security.
Officer: Uh, I don't feel like that's the issue. I feel like it's the yelling at staff, flipping tables over, punching yourself until you bleed.
Daniel: See, I only did because the manager was...
Officer: Daniel, that literally makes zero sense. The manager was threatening you saying you harmed yourself?
Daniel: He, he threat-, he threatened to be... he threatened to press charges on me, and I knew I was innocent.
Officer: You weren't! He asked you to leave, you said no, that's trespassing! You're guilty... guilty as sh*t right now, bud!
Daniel: Right. Right and I just told him like, I don't feel safe, please call the police.
Officer: So you punched yourself in the face a bunch of times.
Daniel: He said he was- [video cuts] distance against him, I felt endangered.
Officer: Did you make threats towards him?
Daniel: I did, yes.
Officer: Why did you do that?
Daniel: Because... if you look at it from my perspective, OK, I come in here out of concern...
Officer: I don't see any point in your perspective.
[video ends, now statement]
Daniel: OK. You guys hear me? Can you guys hear me? Hello? OK, Bob is doing nothing to help and I will f*cking go to his house with a gun and I will kill him. He's basically leaving me to die. Right now, there's actual cars right now following me planning a murder. OK, and Bob is being a f*cking n---r because he's doing nothing to help!
[Daniel is taken to the hospital]
Daniel: OK, the jackass, excuse my language. But the manager, OK, decided they were gonna ban me.
[end]
