Bend 15-year-old arrested for string of disturbing TikTok videos taken at public spaces across the city

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend Police said Monday they have arrested a 15-year-old resident on over two-dozen charges after a series of recent TikTok videos showed a person urinating in public spaces across the city.

The teen was taken into custody at his home over the weekend following an investigation into the social media posts, Bend Police Communications Manager Sheila Miller said.

The investigation began on Feb. 4, when officers received multiple reports regarding the videos. The footage showed a person urinating on the floors of high school and restaurant bathrooms, as well as on a diaper changing station and in park bathrooms throughout Bend.

Miller said officers identified the suspect as the 15-year-old and went to the juvenile's home on Saturday to take him into custody.

The teenager faces a total of 26 charges, including include 24 counts of second-degree criminal mischief and one count of second-degree disorderly conduct. He was also issued a citation for urinating in public.
