Hayes Grier—a former Vine star and contestant on “Dancing With The Stars”—was arrested in North Carolina last week for allegedly beating up a man and swiping his phone.
The 21-year-old faces charges of common law robbery, felony conspiracy and assault serious bodily injury, according to TMZ, and has since posted $17,500 bond at Charlotte jail before preparing to see a judge on Monday. The arrest followed warrants from Encino, California.
Hayes is accused of attacking William Markolf last Monday and stealing his $1,200 cellphone. Charlotte police say the victim was left with serious injuries, including brain damage, a broken left orbital bone, bruised ribs, head trauma, and hearing loss.
TMZ also reports that Luke Foushee was named by police as someone who Hayes conspired with, but Luke didn’t appear to be arrested yet, as of Friday.
Hayes’ success began as a teen, when he gained traction on Vine with his brother Nash in 2013. The pair were prominent members of Magcon, a touring event that allowed young internet stars to meet their fans at meet-and-greet-centered shows, and gained noteriety for being part of that group—which also included the likes of Shawn Mendes and Cameron Dallas.
Grier, who is also the younger sibling of backup Carolina Panthers QB Will Grier, has yet to update his social media pages following his arrest.
