Social media influencer Cameron Dallas spent the last few days of 2018 behind bars after being arrested Saturday morning for allegedly punching a man at a Colorado hotel.
An ambulance was called to the Hyatt Residences Grand Aspen around 5 a.m. local time Saturday, where they "found a man bleeding from injuries to his face," according to a statement from the local police department and obtained by the Aspen Times. Officers later arrested Dallas in connection to the alleged assault, which resulted in a broken nose for the reported victim.
Dallas, who has amassed some 25+ million of subscribers on YouTube and Instagram, confirmed his arrest in a tweet Monday.
