NYC driver 'Squeeze.Benz' - who outran police in YouTube videos - gets arrested

A daredevil teen driver who posted viral videos speeding through New York City and New Jersey streets while escaping police has been arrested and now faces a slew of charges in two states.

The Newark Police Department said in a statement that it began investigating Ginestri after he did donuts around an occupied police SUV in a black BMW with no license plates at 1:15 a.m. on April 11. Ginestri easily outraced cops, who called off the pursuit due to the danger, according to the statement. Newark investigators soon found video of the episode, titled “Squeeze vs. Newark,” as well as other examples of him “attempting to antagonize police,” police said.

Ginestri, of Flushing, Queens, also faces charges of employing a juvenile in the commission of a crime, theft and conspiracy in Fairfield, New Jersey, though a police spokesperson there declined to share details.
