Georgia Football Player Arrested After Doing Social Media Challenge

According to UGASports, junior defensive lineman Warren Brinson was allegedly taking part in what’s known as the “Orbeez Challenge” on TikTok. The “Orbeez Challenge” is apparently a social media challenge where people use a gel-ball gun to shoot water gel beads at strangers while recording. He allegedly pulled up to a group of people he thought he recognized. Turns out he didn't know them, and now, those strangers who were hit have filed charges against him...

“If you terrorize people w/ the #OrbeezChallenge, we’ll arrest you,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office tweeted. “Shooting a gel-bead gun at someone isn’t a prank. It’s a crime. Not only can it cause serious injuries, it puts your life at risk. It would only take a moment of panic for someone to fire back – w/ real bullets.”
