NYC YouTuber Charged With Attempted Murder, Hit Cop With Vehicle

NEW YORK CITY — A New York City real estate agent and YouTuber has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly struck and injured a police officer with his car in New Hampshire, according to reports.

Erik Conover, 35, who previously worked with Nest Seekers International and has nearly 3 million subscribers to his real estate YouTube channel which showcased numerous luxury listings in the city, was arrested last week following the incident, New Hampshire TV station WMUR reported.

The March 15 incident stemmed after police officers initially pulled Conover over for driving 25 miles per hour over the speed limit, according to the report.

When an officer tried to approach Conover's Jeep, the 35-year-old allegedly put his vehicle in reverse and struck the officer — sending him 40 ft back.

Conover continued to drive another 28 miles until he finally pulled and arrested by police, according to the Conway Daily Sun.

The officer, Cameron Emmett, was taken to a local hospital for a leg injury after the incident.

During a virtual court appearance on Monday, Conover described the incident as a 'massive misunderstanding,' and he is a 'public figure' and 'YouTuber'.

The 35-year-old claimed the police paperwork related to his case was all 'falsified'.

"If anyone dares try to test my mental competence, I will eviscerate every single person with my intelligence right now. And that's not being egotistical," Conover added.

The YouTuber has been ordered to remain in jail. Before the incident with the police officer, Conover was also arrested on a drunk driving charge.
