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>~~

On '''July 4, 2025''', things shifted from business as usual to a very critical turning point in [[Josh|Josh's]] life.

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.

Line 13:

In a separate video, Josh is seen running along the beach while biting his own hand, with Tony running after him. During the chase, Josh trips himself over Tony’s leg, causing both to fall. The moment appears as though Tony bodyslams Josh, who lands on his back and begins screaming in apparent pain. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1lsatid/josh_tripping_himself_4th_of_july/</ref>

Josh was already having a meltdown when the livestream on Parti began. Within seconds, visible wounds ~~appeared~~ on Tony’s back, suggesting that Josh had become physically aggressive toward him. As the stream continued, Josh repeatedly complained that he couldn’t see, blaming the broken glasses, and began repeating several of his known catchphrases.

As the stream continued, Josh repeatedly complained that he couldn’t see, blaming the broken glasses, and began repeating several of his known catchphrases.

When frybaggers arrived, Josh sprayed water at them. After being frybagged again, a crowd started to gather, escalating the situation into a larger scene. Josh resisted being restrained and was seen spitting at individuals nearby. This prompted Tony to lose his temper and yell at Josh, which led to Josh crying and declaring that he now hated Tony.

Line 19:

The situation escalated further when Josh suddenly lunged at a group of men unprovoked, attempting to attack them before being restrained. Once seated again, his meltdown intensified. He screamed repeatedly and struggled against both Tony and "Fake Trump."

A woman approached and attempted to comfort Josh, who continued sobbing about his broken glasses. Multiple 911 calls were made, and police, fire, and medical personnel arrived on the scene shortly afterward. As emergency responders began their investigation, Josh abruptly calmed down and was ultimately arrested at the end of the stream.

Josh had a virtual hearing on October 27, 2025 at 8:30 AM PST. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1nisbwh/latest_court_info/#lightbox</ref> He pleaded not guilty, and had an appearance on December 8, 2025 for a pretrial hearing. <ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DQUlIs2kgzm/</ref> During his hearing on January 14, 2026, Josh was given a diversion<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1qcxi1g/next_pretrial_date_is_127/</ref>; according to Josh himself, that means "1 month alcohol treatment<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1qf82q6/_/</ref>."

Josh's appeared in court on January 27, 2026 for another pre-trial hearing with a diversion motion. Diversion was denied by the judge, likely because the treatment was still under review. ~~The next~~ court ~~hearing is scheduled for~~ February 11, 2026.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/~~1qoos6m~~/~~another_court_date_for_josh_21126~~/</ref>

Josh later had court hearings on February 11<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1qoos6m/another_court_date_for_josh_21126/</ref>, February 17, March 6, and April 13, and May 20, 2026, where nothing significant happened and the case continued. <ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftspies/photo/7614228453562338591</ref> <ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftspies/video/7642054393948376351</ref> However, the biggest development came from the hearing held on June 4, 2026. Josh was granted diversion, and can no longer consume any alcohol until June 4, 2028, thereby ending his alcoholism. <ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftspies/video/7647684352159010079</ref>

On June 23, 2026, court documents revealed that Josh cannot enter any establishment that serves alcohol, must wear a SCRAM (alcohol ankle monitor), continue to go to alcohol treatment, and cannot have any contact with [[Tony Bame]], [[Jack Doherty]], [[Mr. Based]], [[Michael Quinn]], [[Mayor Flanagan]] or Ac7ion Man until June 4, 2028. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ue0awl/world_of_tspies_update/</ref> Many believe this is the end of Josh's story, with his plot armor completely shattered.

Josh's case number is 25HM05365.
