Charges Dropped Against Corey Pritchett Jr. In Aggravated Kidnapping Case

According to the Houston Chronicle, charges against Pritchett were dropped on Wednesday, March 18, at the complaining witness’s request.

The 27-year-old YouTuber had faced two counts of aggravated kidnapping after being accused of abducting two women following a bowling outing in Houston in November 2024. Reports alleged that Pritchett offered to drive the women home but pulled a gun during the ride and made threats. He later released the women, allegedly leaving them stranded on the side of the road. Pritchett has consistently denied the accusations.

After a warrant was issued for his arrest, authorities discovered through social media that Pritchett had booked a one-way ticket to Dubai. He was later taken into custody in January 2025 at a Houston airport and held on a $200,000 bond.
