Jake Paul investigated over suspected driving on protected turtle beach

YouTuber Jake Paul is being investigated after posting a video on social media apparently showing him driving around a protected beach in Puerto Rico.

Driving is illegal on some of the island's beaches, as turtles nest in the sand.

The local Department of Natural and Environmental Resources said it would investigate whether the law had been broken.

Paul has been contacted for comment.

I don't know who made this guy "famous" or gave him YouTube space, but it needs to stop. He needs to be obliterated from the interwebz. His little "stunts" are obnoxious and ill-mannered on a good day. Now they have risen to the point of becoming environmentally damaging. I hope he doesn't get off easily on this one.

2. I don't know him but I have been on these turtle beaches + life is very fragile

for the turtles trying to survive.
Mostly has to do with humans -anything from bright night lights to egg stealers will hurt the turtles population
World doesn’t need an entitled YTr making morons laugh in their phone by driving over turtle nests

The other people commenting (so far) didn't.

6. Obnoxious and ill-mannered? Hey, it worked for Tom Green and Sacha Baron Cohen.

If he's doing illegal stuff, write him a ticket or throw him in the local jail. If we stopped making stupid people famous, we wouldn't know Paris Hilton, any Kardashian, Kanye West, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

8. Most of them

are "famous" in other media...music, politics or TV. This idiot is only "famous" in his own self-produced YouTube videos.. There is a difference.

10. Lets remove Cohen from this list

He is a brilliant minded individual unlike the others you mentioned. None of these people got close to an Oscar.

12. Kanye might be

crazy but definitely does not belong in that list either.

9. Him and his brother are huge cancers in our society

His brother Logan got busted big time for filming a corpse in the suicide forest in Japan a few years back and YouTube refused to suspend him. Google which owns YouTube enables them because they get away with it because they are their cash cows
