Video: Maricopa ‘Frauditor’ Humbly Trolled on YouTube

A man from Maricopa, Arizona, has gained notoriety thanks to a recent acknowledgment from the popular YouTube channel, Frauditor Troll. With an audience of approximately 48.5 million, the channel classified him as a “Category 1” frauditor, displaying a bold disregard for the law.

This incident unfolded on Independence Day. In a commentary video, Josh Prime, the channel’s host, remarked on the individual’s quick fall into trouble. “It’s his first video and he got his first arrest,” Prime stated, highlighting the audacity of someone seeking such notoriety without even earning a dime.

The man, known online as Thrashf*uckenhard and identified as 32-year-old Peter J. Rodriguez, confronted Maricopa police during the city’s fireworks display. He garnered attention by agitating officers to the extent that they subdued him on the pavement and took him into custody. This drama erupted as Rodriguez dropped his phone during the altercation, eager to continue filming.

In the aftermath, Rodriguez was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, among other offenses. Video evidence and reports surrounding the arrest depict him yelling and resisting, capturing the chaos of that Fourth of July evening. Following his release from Pinal County jail, he staged a public protest wielding profane picket signs.

Frauditor Troll’s coverage utilized a thumbnail featuring Rodriguez’s mugshot alongside bold text proclaiming “5 YEARS IN PRISON.” The commentary dissected Rodriguez’s confrontational approach, criticizing his claim of being out to “f*ck with cops.” This admission, according to the channel, could severely undermine his defense in court due to the implications of intent and purpose.

The video brought to light Rodriguez’s confrontations, which occurred while police were focusing on diffusing a disturbance among festival-goers. In the opinion of the Frauditor Troll, Rodriguez’s statements and aggressive demeanor could significantly impact his legal outcome. “It’s not going to go well for him in court,” Prime warned.

As discussions about his methods continue, Rodriguez has transitioned from amateur musician to a figure embroiled in legal troubles, casting a shadow over his previous pursuits in entertainment.
