A social media influencer known for catching online sexual predators has been charged with disturbing the peace and stalking in Woodhaven.
Jidon Armani Adams, known as JiDion online, was arraigned Tuesday in 33rd District Court in Woodhaven, according to court records.
He is charged with two misdemeanors: a count of breach of peace and a count of stalking, records said.
A judge set his bond at $10,000 and scheduled his next court hearing for July 13.
If convicted, he faces up to 93 days in jail for disturbing the peace. He also faces up to a year in jail or a fine of up to $1,000 for stalking.
His attorney, Jeffrey Michael Perlman, was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
Media reports said Adams was arrested Monday while livestreaming outside of a Woodhaven McDonald’s restaurant.
Woodhaven police said officers were called at about 3:15 p.m. to the restaurant at 22172 West Road near Interstate 75 for a complaint about a large crowd gathering in and around the building.
Officers arrived and found the crowd was at the business “to confront a third party with whom they believe had been ‘squatting’ illegally in a residence located within the city of Woodhave,” they said in a Tuesday statement.
Authorities also said the crowd’s response was prompted by a social media post a relative of the alleged squatter made.
Three men were arrested without incident for disturbing the peace, officials said. A fourth was arrested for disturbing the peace and stalking, according to authorities.
All four men were booked and held overnight at the Woodhaven Police Department, investigators said.
