San Francisco: US Park Police Arrests 'Roblox' Dev Simbuilder
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the U.S. Park Police arrested a man at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Police authorities tried to talk to him. However, the personnel said the suspect suddenly assaulted them, leaving them no choice but to arrest him.
Twinames said that the man even told them a firearm was inside his car. Although the U.S. Park Police didn't identify the suspect, many people who were able to take a video said that it was Simbuilder.
Acquired jail records also stated that Mikhail Olson was booked on suspicion of having a concealed firearm in a vehicle, possession of ammunition, and a large capacity magazine, as well as leaving a handgun in an unattended vehicle.
