The arrest of fake San Francisco 49ers player Daejon Love was captured on video, according to TMZ.
Love is seen in the new footage being taken out of a white sports car at an Idaho airport by federal agents, the outlet stated. Love appears to be wearing red Niners paraphernalia as he’s being put in handcuffs.
Taylor Chan — the 18-year-old accused of helping Love pretend to be a 49ers wide receiver in order to swindle over a million dollars from more than two dozen women — is also spotted in the video being removed from the vehicle.
A motion for detention filed in a federal court in Idaho stated the arrest went down on Aug. 24 at the Boise Airport. Prosecutors wrote in the filing that Chan had flown from California to the city with Love “awaiting” his “arrival in a late model Corvette.”
“At the time of his arrest,” the feds added, “Love was wearing 49ers apparel.”
The two were accused of being in Idaho’s capital to defraud three people.
“Other than traveling here to scam his victims,” prosecutors wrote in the court document, “Love has no ties to Idaho.”
Both Love and Chan were taken into custody on felony charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud after they had allegedly fraudulently gotten 26 women to send them $1.3 million from February 2022 until the day they were arrested.
The two are accused of using a scheme that involved dating apps and promises of investments to get their victims’ cash before they disappeared once the money was in their hands.
Chan was released from custody after agreeing to several conditions. Love, however, was ordered to remain behind bars at least until he sees a federal judge in Oregon at a to-be-determined court date.
A court filing stated if convicted, the charges the men are facing carry a maximum of 20 years in prison each.
