The FBI Arrested A TikTok Star On Robbery Charges & His Sneakers Apparently Gave Him Away

You know you're in trouble when the FBI starts poking around your social media.

TikTok star Chozen Terrell-Hannah was arrested last week on armed robbery charges in Michigan after federal agents reportedly linked him to a string of crimes based on his social media profiles.

Terrell-Hannah goes by the username @chozenwrld on TikTok, where he's got more than 150,000 followers and 1.6 million likes.

The FBI says a man was dressing up in all black, including a ski mask, and robbing stores at gunpoint over a three-month period, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Detroit News. The 22-year-old is now facing charges of robbery affecting interstate commerce and of possessing a firearm during a violent crime.

The first robbery was reported in December, but authorities didn't identify their suspect until last month, after three more incidents had occurred.

An anonymous tip pointed police to Terrell-Hannah's TikTok account, and investigators apparently recognized his shoes in a video as being similar to the witness descriptions of the shoes the suspect wore for the robberies, Fox2 Detroit reports.

The video shows Terrell-Hannah wearing white Nike sneakers with red accents, which investigators described as his "stick-up shoes."

Once the FBI agents saw Terrell-Hannah's TiKTok video, they obtained a warrant to check his phone's location history and matched it up to the times and locations of the robberies.

Agents raided the suspect's home last week and found the shoes and a handgun inside, according to the criminal complaint.

The suspect "admitted to committing all four of the above-described armed robberies," an FBI officer wrote in the criminal complaint.

He could face more than 20 years in prison if convicted.
