A local YouTube prankster was arrested Saturday night following a strange interaction with Greene County deputies that was broadcast on national TV.

With a cameraman from the A&E cable show "Live PD" recording, deputies stopped 20-year-old Jared Sopok as he drove down the street with "4-20" scribbled on his back windshield.

Sopok had some unique "passengers" in his car — homemade dummies with the faces of Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon attached to the front.

"I just decided like I was going to make my own friends and just kinda hang out with them," Sopok said when asked about the ensemble.

The deputy then asked Sopok where he was going.

"I'm going to the party, man," Sopok said.

And where was this party?

"I kinda am the party, so it's kinda like wherever I end up, ya know," Sopok replied.

The deputy then prodded Sopok on how much he had to drink and when last he used drugs.

Sopok answered that he had not been drinking or using drugs because his parents do not allow him to do either.

Deputies then put Sopok — who was wearing short jean shorts, a fanny pack and a tank top — through a field sobriety test.

After running Sopok through the horizontal gaze test and other tests, the deputies decided they did not feel comfortable letting Sopok continue to drive so they put him in handcuffs and took him to jail.

"Something's not sitting right with me," a deputy said after administering the sobriety tests, adding that he would ask Sopok to submit to a blood test later on.

Deputies then searched Sopok's fanny pack, where they discovered a metal fidget spinner, a jack of hearts playing card, a match and a container of hot sauce.

In a Facebook post this week, the Greene County Sheriff's Office explained that deputies initiated the traffic stop because Sopok was speeding and did not have his headlights on.

The post says deputies observed "multiple indicators that were consistent with impairment" so they arrested Sopok but ultimately decided there was not enough evidence to pursue a DWI charge.

Sopok was booked and released on the traffic charges, according to the sheriff's office.

An attempt to reach Sopok for comment this week was not successful.

A video of the incident on Sopok's YouTube channel had been viewed more than 479,000 times as of Thursday afternoon.
