Internet Sensation from Charlotte gets arrested
Internet sensation, former “Dancing with the stars” contestant, and brother of Carolina Panther QB Will Grier, Hayes Grier was arrested and taken to jail in Charlotte this past Friday. He had outstanding warrants from California charging him with assault causing serious bodily injury, felony conspiracy and common law robbery, according to court records.
Grier’s claim to fame came from going viral on the then popular social media app Vine. When he was on DWTS back in 2015 he was only 15 years old which made him the youngest competitor on the show at the time. Grier went to Davidson Day, his father is the head football coach at Providence Day.
Grier was released from the jail at midnight after posting $17,500 bail, records show.
He must appear in court at 9 a.m. Monday, although records aren’t clear whether that’s in Charlotte or California.
