Isaac Hurley livestreamed his overnight stay attempt for a TikTok challenge and was arrested for burglary and theft after taking a phone charger, sheriff’s office said.
- Just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 13, Charlotte County deputies found Isaac Matthew Hurley, 19-year-old man, livestreaming a 24-hour TikTok challenge inside the Walmart on S. McCall Road in Englewood, Florida, locating him in the dog bed section.
- Hurley entered the store around 10:15 p.m. intending to remain overnight to complete the TikTok 24-hour challenge and earn money based on views, investigators say.

- Deputies transported him to the Charlotte County Jail, where he posted a $1,500 bond and was released, and Sheriff Bill Prummell said, `'I'm not sure why people buy into these social media challenges when they are clearly encouraging you to violate the law.'`
