			On July 4, 2025, while in Newport Beach, California, [[Josh]] had one of the most intense meltdowns he ever had, even being violent toward [[Tony Bame]] during the stream. It is unknown what triggered the crashout as the stream started as it was happening, but it was worsened with trolls [[frybagging]] him. Josh's meltdown was so intense that he resisted being held back and spat on the trolls. He also got very aggressive to many people who were trying to hold him back. [[Tony Bame\|Tony]] also crashed out on Josh after he spat on them, leading him to break down. Josh was later arrested by the police. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkuWCkn5a_4</ref>

			The arrest comes after Josh’s “sober week”. It is currently unknown what exactly caused Josh crash out hard, but he was arrested for assault and battery from the incident.
