YouTuber, motorcycle rider pleads guilty in Colorado speed case
DENVER — The 32-year-old YouTuber who filmed himself driving from Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 minutes while reaching speeds over 150 mph on Interstate 25 pleaded guilty to speed exhibition in a deal with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Rendon Dietzmann, who posts on YouTube under the username Gixxer Brah, was arrested in Texas on Feb. 7 on a Colorado State Patrol warrant from December.
Dietzmann was charged with seven misdemeanor and traffic crimes, including menacing and reckless endangerment, after he posted a since-deleted video driving over 150 mph on I-25 starting at Garden of the Gods Road, squeezing through small gaps between vehicles and weaving between lanes and the highway shoulder.
Dietzmann pleaded guilty to speed exhibition and will pay a fine of up to $300, the $1,996 cost of his extradition to Colorado and court costs under the plea deal, according to the district attorney’s office.
The agreement also includes a 14-day jail sentence — which he has already served in connection with the case — and 12 points assessed against his driver’s license. He will not be able to drive in Colorado, according to the district attorney’s office.
Dietzmann’s plea deal will go into effect after his April 23 sentencing.
