Who is Jabari Brown? MrBeast private jet winner arrested in $3.6m marijuana seizure in Paraguay
Brown appeared in MrBeast’s viral challenge video ‘100 Pilots Fight For A Private Jet’, in which he won a Hawker 400XP
Jabari Stephan Brown, better known online as Captain Treezy, has come under international attention after being arrested in Paraguay as part of an investigation into a marijuana shipment allegedly transported aboard a private aircraft arriving from Miami.
According to reports, Brown was detained in Asunción on May 31 after authorities seized 261.6 kilograms of high-THC marijuana at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport.
Officials estimate the seized drugs had a potential street value of approximately $3.6 million.
Brown is known to many internet users for his appearance in MrBeast’s viral challenge video, “100 Pilots Fight For A Private Jet”, in which he outlasted 99 other contestants to win a Hawker 400XP executive jet.
The competition significantly increased his online profile and introduced him to a wider audience beyond the aviation community.
Paraguayan authorities have not indicated that the aircraft involved in the investigation was the same jet Brown won through the MrBeast challenge.
Brown was one of four Americans detained following the seizure and was identified as the aircraft’s co-pilot, while prosecutors filed charges against three other American nationals as investigators continued examining his alleged involvement.
Authorities intercepted the shipment while suitcases were being unloaded from the aircraft and transferred to a waiting vehicle.
The three other Americans detained in connection with the operation were identified as Marisol Rivas, Troy Anthony Vásquez and David Thomas Wise.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not released further details regarding Brown’s alleged role in the case. No information has been provided regarding potential court proceedings or legal representation.
