Shaun Sharkey, who goes by the name Shoovy on Kick, recently found himself in some trouble with the law. While many people were fleeing their homes in Florida to escape the looming Hurricane Milton, Shaun was busy participating in a £54,000 "survival challenge". This challenge involved staying in an apartment in Tampa, Florida, that was in the direct path of the hurricane.
Shaun, an 18-year-old streamer on Kick, was caught breaking into the apartment with a screwdriver. The whole incident was captured on live stream and later reported by MailOnline. In the footage, Shaun can be seen holding a knife near an open door as police officers enter the building. One officer can be heard shouting, "Get down here, right now! Or I will f**k you up. Get down, get down, put your phone." The live stream ended with Shaun being arrested on camera.
According to records from the Sarasota Sheriff's website, Shaun has been charged with burglary and resisting an officer. His bond for the second charge is set at £766. Shaun's Kick channel has since been taken down, but he later claimed on X that the apartment belonged to a friend.
Shaun's mugshot was shared on the Sarasota Sheriff's website after his arrest. Another Kick streamer, Adin Ross, also faced criticism for offering a £70,000 prize to streamers who were willing to chase Hurricane Milton. Despite Shaun's arrest, Adin did not address the situation when he talked about the challenge on X.
In a post on Wednesday night, Adin said, "Listen, $70K was promised to 2 specific streamers. Not everyone, you guys need to get to safety and evacuate. Protect yourselves please it's not worth it, please." Adin's fellow streamer, Mike Smalls Jr, also took part in the challenge and live streamed himself outside with only an air mattress, ramen, and an umbrella. However, he was later informed that Adin would not be paying him the promised prize money. Mike panicked and exclaimed, "I'm out here risking my life to feed my family!"
In a Kick stream with Adin, Mike was promised $10,000 for finding shelter during the hurricane. Adin told him, "I said I'd give you $10,000 if you found shelter. You found shelter." Mike shared the clip on X and asked his followers, "Y'all think he's really gonna go through with it?"
Despite the drama surrounding the survival challenge, it's important for everyone to prioritize their safety and evacuate if necessary. It's not worth risking your life for money or a challenge. Let's all stay safe and look out for each other during these difficult times.
