In a story that highlights the thin line between entertainment and trouble, 19-year-old Isaac Matthew Hurley found himself in hot water after attempting a TikTok challenge at a Walmart in Englewood. It was just past 11 p.m. when deputies responded to reports of a suspicious person inside the store, which was closed for the night.
What they discovered was a young man live-streaming his attempt to stay inside for 24 hours, a challenge many have taken to social media. But things spiraled quickly when they found that Hurley had entered the store after hours and was caught with a phone charger he had taken from the shelves. He was arrested for burglary and theft, making for a memorable night that didn’t earn him the viral fame he likely hoped for.
After being booked at the Charlotte County Jail, Hurley was released upon posting a $1,500 bond. While his quest for TikTok glory didn’t quite go as planned, this story serves as a reminder: sometimes, trends can lead to more than just followers—and maybe a little time behind bars. What’s next? Staying overnight in a cell for clout?
