A TikTok creator is now facing 8 criminal counts after trying to go viral online. People will do anything for fame.

This is the problem with TikTok and social media. People see folks like MrBeast turn into mega-millionaires with hundreds of millions of followers and they want to be just like them. However, not everyone has what it takes--it's harder than it looks. Now, there's a TikTok creator who took his content a little too far in an effort to go viral and get noticed. That's 21-year-old Kyle Vazquez. aka "Tommy TuffKnuckles." Sounds like a real character already. See a video report shared by Eyewitness News ABC 7 NY on YouTube below.

According to ABC 7 NY, Vazquez is facing 8 separate criminal counts for a string of bizarre incidents that he allegedly recorded and shared on social media. Police say he dumped 50 eggs on his head and left broken shells at the front entrance of a business. Sounds like he did something similar with beans as well.

Another video that got some attention and trouble was one where he unlawfully recorded two private homeowners with an undercover camera and mocked them for allowing him inside of their home. He's now facing charges including dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image, unlawful surveillance, and criminal tampering, per ABC 7 NY.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
