Liver King Johnson — a Houston native who is popular on social media for his lifestyle involving the consumption of raw meat — faces one charge of Terroristic Threat, a Class B Misdemeanor


The Austin Police Department reportedly arrested Johnson in Rogan’s home town on Tuesday evening and booked him into Travis County Jail.
Video footage showing the social media influencer in handcuffs while being patted down by an officer, before getting into a police vehicle, was shared to Johnson’s Instagram account, where he boasts 2.9 million followers.

Johnson’s Instagram account includes several videos featuring the social media influencer — who also stars on Netflix’s TV series, Untold, in Season 5’s second episode, The Liver King — going on a series of bizarre, hard-to-follow rants involving Rogan.

“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out,” Johnson declares in one of the videos, posted to his account on Monday, adding, “My name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you.”

“I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me,” Johnson continues. “But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, whatever you want me to weigh, I’ll weigh it. I weighed 190 this morning. I’ll come to you whenever you’re ready.”

“I’m picking a fucking fight with this guy, J.R.,” Johnson asserts in another video.

A fourth video shows Johnson speaking into the camera, telling Rogan, “I’m coming to you. I’ve challenged you, man to man, to a fight. Honorable. And we don’t have to pretend or make any videos. The world is watching. They’ll make the videos for us.”
