A Florida TikTok star deliberately sparked a 100mph police chase – then told cops who arrested him his wealth and youth made him immune from the law, it is claimed.
Damaury Mikula (18) from Pasco, Florida has more than 4 million followers on TikTok. He has posted content frequently featuring his Dodge Challenger. This vehicle can reach 141 mph and costs around $60,000.
Pasco County Police captured the TikTok Star being chased in that car on Friday at the intersection of State Route 54 and Sunlake Boulevard, Florida.
Mikula allegedly deliberately ‘burned’ the car at a stop signal next to a cop to start a chase.
He was later taken into custody in front of his house, but he did not post the clip of him being pursued by TikTok. However, troopers have shared their dashcam footage.

Mikula was not allowed to pull over when he was stopped at a red light.
As police pursued him, he continued to accelerate and was eventually stopped in a nearby residential area.
After one of the troopers had tagged him, the police identified Mikula as the runaway driver.
