Belltown Hellcat driver tests judge’s patience, lands successfully

Myles Hudson is not your typical young man. He is notorious for driving recklessly all night long. He also posted videos of himself driving online, which was a stroke of genius. Now, several of his questionable actions are starting to catch up with him, and he is in jail for the second time.

We reported on Hudson’s actions, the $83,619 fine the city levied against him, and his initial arrest a few weeks ago. On Monday, he was back in court as the city filed a motion to revoke his release. During that hearing, Judge Seth Nissen questioned Hudson’s actions.

On July 27, Neeson told Hudson he was not allowed to post on his Instagram or Twitch accounts. Prosecutors presented the judge with what they said was evidence that he tried to circumvent that directive. The court made clear that he was not allowed to post elsewhere or even talk to the media.

The judge also noted that Hudson failed to appear in court for another domestic violence case. In that case, Hudson was accused of assaulting his mother. He was charged with a $25,000 warrant for his failure to appear. As a result, the judge ordered him back into custody at the hearing.

Now, he faces $15,000 bail. If he posts bail, he must also fend off attempts to find loopholes in the terms of his release. Judge Nissen told him he would be “liable” if anyone drove his Dodge Charger (which he co-owns with his mother) or posted on the accounts.

His next hearing is in September, and the trial for the traffic violation is set to begin in October. The lesson behind all of this is pretty clear. Believing that one can drive recklessly or dangerously with impunity is simply a bad decision. In this case and several others, those who try to gain notoriety through such behavior end up in serious legal trouble.
