Twitch Streamer Kai Cenat Released After Being Charged With Inciting Riot For PS5 Console Giveaway In NYC

Twitch streamer Kai Cenat sidestepped a night behind bars after he was hit with three criminal charges for allegedly causing a violent melee at his PlayStation giveaway gathering in NYC. Kai was issued a desk appearance ticket for felony riot and misdemeanor inciting a riot and unlawful assembly before getting released from a Manhattan police precinct Friday night. Kai dashed out of the stationhouse with his security and jumping into the back of an SUV, which sped away. The DAT, as it's commonly called, did not require Kai to go through the criminal justice system and spend the night in jail at Central Booking. Instead, Kai was provided a court date to appear before a judge to address the charges. Kai announced on his Twitch channel he was giving away PlayStation 5 consoles and gift cards in Union Square at 4 PM Friday.
