The 32-year-old YouTuber who filmed himself driving from Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 minutes while reaching speeds over 150 mph on Interstate 25 pleaded guilty to speed exhibition in a deal with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Rendon Dietzmann, who posts on YouTube under the username Gixxer Brah, was arrested in Texas on Feb. 7 on a Colorado State Patrol warrant from December.
Dietzmann was charged with seven misdemeanor and traffic crimes, including menacing and reckless endangerment, after he posted a since-deleted video driving over 150 mph on I-25 starting at Garden of the Gods Road, squeezing through small gaps between vehicles and weaving between lanes and the highway shoulder.
Dietzmann pleaded guilty to speed exhibition and will pay a fine of up to $300, the $1,996 cost of his extradition to Colorado and court costs under the plea deal, according to the district attorney’s office.
