FBI Raids Jake Paul's Calabasas Mansion

CALABASAS, CA — The FBI raided the Calabasas mansion of YouTube star Jake Paul Wednesday for undisclosed reasons.

“The FBI is executing a federal search warrant at a residence in Calabasas in connection with an ongoing investigation,” Laura Eimiller of the FBI’s Los Angeles office said in a statement.

“The affidavit in support of the search warrant has been sealed by a judge and I am, therefore, prohibited from commenting as to the nature of the investigation. No arrests are planned.”

Wednesday footage from an ABC7 helicopter showed multiple firearms being taken out of the home.

Paul, 23, is known for pulling outlandish stunts on his popular YouTube channel, like setting furniture on fire, getting into boxing matches, handcuffing himself to his unsuspecting girlfriend Erika for 24 hours right after throwing the key off the balcony, among many others.

Paul is just as rowdy when the cameras are off. In June, Paul faced misdemeanor charges for remaining inside a Scottsdale mall during a protest even after police ordered protesters to leave.

In July, he threw a boisterous party at his $7 million Calabasas mansion that drew widespread online criticism because his hundreds of guests were not social distancing or wearing masks. Clips show partygoers swinging from a raised excavator crane and pulling a car into his lobby.

Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintraub called the party “completely unacceptable,” and shortly after the party, the city began to strictly enforce an existing mask ordinance and bans on gatherings of more than 10 people indoors.

The City of Calabasas tweeted Wednesday that it was aware of the raid, but to forward questions to the FBI.

In July 2017, Paul’s neighbors in the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles considered filing a class-action nuisance lawsuit against Paul for regularly throwing loud parties. He also made his home address public, and crowds of fans gathered outside his home.
