Social media influencer ‘Liver King’ arrested in Austin

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Department has arrested Brian Johnson, known online as the social media influencer “Liver King,” according to Travis County Jail records.

He faces one charge of Terroristic Threat, a Class B Misdemeanor.

Sources confirmed with KXAN the Brian Johnson listed in the jail log is in fact the social media influencer.

We have reached out to APD for more information and will update this story when we receive a response. Investigators have not yet confirmed who the alleged threat was made to.

In an Instagram video Johnson posted on June 23, he says “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.”

An additional Instagram video posted around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, shows who appears to be Johnson wearing a burgundy hoody and pants handcuffed, getting into a police vehicle.

Attorney information is not currently listed for Johnson.
