Regan Benson livestreamed Sunday night as she went through the process of turning herself in for an outstanding warrant outside of the jail in downtown Denver.
Benson was wanted on a warrant for a violation of Colorado Revised Statute 18-9-313 subsection 2.7:
Personal Information on the Internet
It is unlawful for a person to knowingly make available on the internet personal information about a protected person or the protected person’s immediate family if the dissemination of personal information poses an imminent and serious threat to the protected person’s safety or the safety of the protected person’s immediate family and the person making the information available on the internet knows or reasonably should know of the imminent and serious threat.
As Benson described it, the infraction occurred on September 3, 2025, when she was attempting to livestream from the Commander Advisor Board meeting in Denver’s District 3. Benson had not been informed that due to the observance of Labor Day, the meeting was delayed until September 10.
Benson, undeterred by the cancelation, spent the rest of the evening filming herself drawing chalk art that targeted police. Among that artwork, she included the names and contact information of police command staff along with creative artwork including her notations that various members of that staff had small sexual organs.
On September 4, 2025, Benson said that she received a privacy complaint from YouTube on the video of the incident along with a time stamp indicating when the violation supposedly occurred.
Benson reviewed the complaint and found nothing that was out of line at the timestamp. On September 9, YouTube again contacted her and this time said that her video had been permanently removed from YouTube. A link was offered to her to review the video and when she reviewed the video, three minutes had been removed by unknown parties.
Later on the ninth, Benson was at an incident with police in Denver’s District 4 when none of the officers would approach her or engage with her extensively. She thought it was odd but did think she had any outstanding warrants.
She was later told by one of her attorneys on September 10 that there was a warrant out for her arrest, with details on the warrant coming in an e-mail with a Denver police division chief later confirming the warrant.
After some back and forth with police, Benson made the decision to turn herself in as bond would be set at her first appearance in front of a judge over the weekend. She also decided to turn herself in directly to the jail, as turning herself in at a police district station would enable her to be arraigned faster.
Benson ended one livestream and started another as she debated with her husband where to ultimately go to turn herself in. At the start of the second stream, she and her husband went around to the back of the jail and she placed a service call to the Denver’s police department that she was turning herself in.
While she was waiting for Denver Metro police to turn up, she was approached by a group of sheriffs from the jail who wanted to know what she was doing. She explained that she was turning herself in and one of the officers escorted her to the front of the building, explaining that she could turn herself in at the desk in the lobby.
As they finger printed Benson and verified her identity, a group of Denver Metro Police approached Benson and escorted her to a police car. The confused YouTuber started yelling to the sheriff who had previously helped her to inquire why Denver police were taking her out of the jail and she received no response.
Her husband continued recoding as the officers put her in a squad car and drove off.
With Benson promising that she had a “big gun” to represent her at the hearing, she was expected to be released on her own recognizance bond on Monday after her first appearance before a judge. A relative posted on her YouTube comments section that they had talked to her and she was in good spirts and processing went smoothly.
Update: Benson was released and livestreamed Monday evening. We’ll have more details in the next issue of auditing insanity.
Imagine going to jail so many times, you have a lawyer on speed dial. You have to decide if you were going to surrender or wait until they pull you over. Take the ride on your time and not when they decide to book you. This is living?
This is not activism , this is insanity.
class 1 misdemeanor, Class 1 misdemeanors are the most serious class of misdemeanor offenses in Colorado. A conviction is punishable by up to 364 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. As to extraordinary risk crime class 1 misdemeanors, the maximum jail sentence is 18 months.
She might do a year to 18 months? And or a fine? All due to her hatred of police.
If they can get her on this and not water it down to something else…
if
They most likely will offer her a plea bargain of no jail time and probation with restrictions on filming to like 21 feet or such from her victims,
Imagine going to jail for chalk art.
