In O’Malley’s case, while broadcasting, he saw a police car speeding past his house.
Shortly thereafter, on the intercom of his home, O’Malley encountered a police officer telling him to leave the house with his hands up.
In footage from O’Malley’s security camera, armed police officers could be seen outside his door, and one of them appeared to break his camera.
Later, O’Malley could be seen walking outside with his hands up.
“I had shotguns pointed at me, like ARs from four different police officers pointing at me, and I was like, ‘I’m just going to listen,’ and come back,” he recalled.
On the podcast, he explained that he was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, where he sat for 35-40 minutes.
Finally, police officers who knew O’Malley arrived, explaining to him that they had received a frightening tip that led them to his home.
“They said I killed my parents or something like that,” he said.
“Yeah, they thought there was an active shooter in there, they said, ‘Who’s in there?’ I was like, ‘No, I was just playing.'”
O’Malley further noted that police were unable to find the person who called in the false report.
After the dust settled, O’Malley indulged in pizza that night, saying he “deserved it, I celebrated.”
