A YouTuber was arrested after sneaking into Universal Studios in Florida with a big fake mustache despite having an ongoing trespass warning.
Stephen Rocco Deleonardis, also known as "Steve Will Do It", was arrested in July this year when his disguise of a cap, sunglasses and a huge black mustache failed to fool security guards.
His mugshot shows him with the comical black mustache still on his face, which he has since made his profile photo on X, formerly Twitter.
Posting about the incident on the platform, he wrote on July 11, "Reason I got caught at Universal was for being lazy. I went lazy and it fucked me. I could have done what I done in passed and get professional makeup done. This was a lesson to not be a lazy piece of shit."
Newsweek has contacted Deleonardis on his Instagram account for comment.

— Steve Will Do It (@stevewilldoit) July 11, 2024Footage obtained by Law & Crime shows the moment Deleonardis was arrested. He can be seen walking with a woman, who he was holding hands with, before being detained by police.
Other footage shows him waiting in police custody. When he was told he would be banned from Universal Studios for another year, Deleonardis said, "But I come in peace."
A man in bodycam footage can also be heard telling the YouTuber that "last time" he had been "intoxicated" and said "some things to some of our employees they didn't appreciate."
The moment seems to refer to the fact that Deleonardis has an active trespassing warning from August 2023, which was scheduled to expire one month after his arrest, according to Law & Crime.
On November 1, the 26-year-old pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of trespassing based on Orange County court documents, Law & Crime reported.
According to florida.arrests.org, Deleonardis was also arrested when he was 18 years of age for possession of marijuana resin, more than 20 grams of marijuana, use of drug equipment and knowingly driving without a license.
Deleonardis has a substantial base on Instagram, with more than 3.6 million followers, and almost 940,000 followers on X.
He also has over 188,000 followers on KICK, a streaming platform similar to Facebook Live and YouTube Live.
The influencer gained popularity after his appearances on videos posted by the Nelk Boys, a group known for their prank and party-themed content, the videogame news outlet WINgg reported.
He is now best known for filming himself doing various challenges, including eating excessive amounts of food and participating in extreme drinking.
