'Piece Of Burger' Viral Video Star Gets ARRESTED On Outstanding Shoplifting Charge After Store Owner Recognized Him On Television

#1 Anything to say? Courtney Barnes, the star of this week's WLBT viral video, has turned himself into Ridgleland and Jackson police

A man with green hair and fingernails who was interviewed this week at the scene of a crash that injured a Jackson police officer has been arrested.

Courtney Barnes found himself as an internet sensation after his descriptions of a car accident he witnessed sent the internet into overdrive.

Unfortunately for him though, his face cropping up on TV meant that a local store looking for a thief who appeared on their CCTV could identify the culprit.

#2 It went something like this: Courtney Barnes recounts an accident involving a police patrol car in his own words although his elaborate account is now being questioned by some including the police

He described the incident in hilarious detail, with quotes such as ‘It was a full twist-about and the police car just twist around like a tornado, girl, and the Lord just shook it up and the man got injured,' sending his interview viral.

But his distinctive style and looks meant that the local business knew they had got their man.

He went to the Ridgeland Police Department, where he was arrested and booked on a contempt of court charge. Barnes has over $1,600 in fines, mostly traffic-related.

#3 Caught on camera: The store Barnes allegedly stole a hat from posted this image to Instagram

Barnes was then handed over to the Jackson Police Department, where he was charged in connection with a shoplifting case, police said. He is accused of stealing a hat among other items, from a clothing store.

Jackson police could not immediately say where the alleged shoplifting took place, but Barnes bears a striking resemblance to a suspect who was caught on CCTV in April.

Barnes denies lying about his account of the car crash that he supposedly witnessed and insists he is not a shoplifting suspect.

#4 Humble apology: Barnes later released a short statement via his Instagram account. The accusations against him include traffic violations and theft from shops. He will appear in court in Ridgeland in two weeks

Barnes also posted a video to Instagram.

'I want to apologize about the things that are going around on social media about me. However, like I said, nobody is perfect.

Everybody is going to make mistakes, but at the same time, I do keep God first and I want everybody to know that it will work out for the better.

But at the same time, let the negativity continue to come, because without negativity, we cannot do positivity,' Barnes said on the video.

Barnes is scheduled to make a court appearance in Mississippi in two weeks.
