A YouTube personality with a prank channel is facing charges after using fake credentials to get onstage during the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh last week.
Fred Beyer, 24, of Venice, Fla., was cited for criminal trespass on Monday.
In Beyer’s video, seen below, he documents being turned away from one entrance before making it through another entrance closer to Acrisure Stadium.
Separately filmed segments show Beyer and his filming crew creating phony staff passes before coming to the NFL Draft Experience.
While he is walking around, Beyer appears to take photos with several staff members with the expressed purpose of capturing an image of their security badges to Photoshop later.
The crew films Beyer making it backstage into several exclusive areas. He eventually makes it onstage and “announces” the Steelers pick at No. 67 using a fake player name “Luke Maxer,” as a member of the NFL Draft production crew furiously motions for security to escort him offstage.
Beyer’s crew films him trying to explain himself to NFL security before he is taken from the venue.
In the video, Beyer signs a paper acknowledging he is banned for life from any future NFL game or event.
Beyer has more than 2 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, which is full of pranks and trolling videos.
