Belltown Hellcat Update: Miles Hudson Arrested and Forbidden from Social Media

Miles Hudson, widely known as the “Belltown Hellcat,” was taken into custody after a court hearing on Monday, July, 29, facing multiple charges including reckless driving and stalking. The 21-year-old has become infamous for his late-night escapades in his souped-up Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT, which have drawn numerous complaints from Seattle residents and led to escalating legal troubles.

Hudson appeared in court with his face covered, claiming religious reasons, a tactic he has used in previous hearings. Despite his attorneys arguing that Hudson had complied with previous court orders and had modified his vehicle, Judge Seth Niesen set bail at $5,000 for the stalking case and $2,500 for the reckless driving case. The judge also ordered Hudson to be placed on electronic home monitoring if he posts bail and prohibited him from posting on his Instagram and Twitch accounts.

Residents of Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood have long been frustrated with Hudson’s disruptive behavior. His social media videos, showcasing his high-speed, loud driving through downtown streets, have amassed over 750,000 followers on Instagram. Despite fines and legal actions, Miles Hudson continued to flaunt his notoriety, even taunting those affected by his actions in interviews.

Legal troubles for Miles Hudson have compounded with allegations of stalking and harassment from an ex-girlfriend, who reported that Hudson sent explicit videos of her to others and harassed her at her workplace. These charges, combined with previous domestic violence accusations, have led to the current stringent court orders against him.

Judge Niesen emphasized the seriousness of Miles Hudson’s actions and the impact on the community, banning him from driving the Hellcat on public roads in Washington state. Hudson’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 12, where his compliance with these orders will likely be scrutinized further.
