Political commentator and former Proud Boys leader Gavin McInnes stopped his show midstream on Thursday night.
“We are shooting a show. Can we do this another time,” McInnes said during the live broadcast”Get Off My Lawn, to talk to law enforcement officials.
McInnes walked off-screen responding to off camera individuals: “Yeah. Alright, I’m happy to do that but, uh, I’ll get a lawyer and we will sit down and have a conversation and schedule a meeting and we’ll sit down with my lawyer. ”
“I didn’t let you in,” he shot back.
Indistinct chatter is then heard and McInnes disappeared.
Something going on with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes tonight — this clip doesn't explain much, but suggests either a swatting, arrest, raid, or just a prank. Earlier this week McInnes claimed undercover cops were watching his house. https://t.co/a1DQU8jg9J

Three Gateway Pundit reporters reached out directly to McInnes for comment but he has yet to provide an update.
Josh Denny, a comedian who works on Censored TV, wrote that McInnes was apprehended over alleged involvement in January 6.
“It was not a bit,” Denny tweeted on Friday. “Gavin was AGAINST going to Jan 6. He was AGAINST Charlottesville (and told Proud Boys they were out of the crib if they went) but he’s rotting away in jail because he dared to question authority.”
The show goes on. We aren’t canceling ANY. Working with the @censoreddottv team and @RelocationBoss to get him out.
We’ll fucking be there. #FreeGavin

Law enforcement has not made an announcement or disclosed details of McInnes’ arrest.
Roughly 12 hours since Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes disappeared during a live broadcast of his show, and it's still not clear whether it's a prank, he was arrested, or something else happened. No confirmation from any law enforcement agencies so far.

In a broadcast earlier this week, McInnes mentioned spotting an unmarked police car parked near his house.
“Today, I go outside –and my neighborhood is not in downtown, it’s a lonely suburb– and there’s an unmarked police car parked in front of my house. So I walk over to it and I go, ‘How we doing?’ And they look very uncomfortable,” he said on Tuesday. “Now I’ve reported cars like this before to the police.”

UPDATE: McInnes was not arrested. It was not an FBI raid on his studio.
