Valorant pro player, Hunter “SicK” Mims has been arrested for the second time this year. This comes just two months after he was initially arrested. This time he is facing similar charges of Class B Criminal Trespassing. This report was first confirmed by journalist George Geddes on May 8, 2023.
Sick was arrested for the first time on March 4, 2023, when he did not leave a Ferrari dealership even after being repeatedly asked to do so. The Sentinel’s pro was then given bail which was set at $5000. The esports organization was the one who got in touch with his family and helped him out with the release.
Valorant pro arrested for criminal trespassing
As George Geddes posted about SicK’s arrest on Twitter, he asked the people on the platform to be kind to him because the Valorant pro is going through some issues. He said:
“You may have seen he acted differently on stream. He isn’t well, please support him when he returns.”
Sentinels has worked with his family members to try and support him.
ShahZam has tried his best to get through to him, even addressing the situation publicly.
SicK is not a bad person and is one of the kindest people I’ve spoken to. Please continue to support him. <3

Over the last few weeks, SicK made a return to Twitter and to streaming. His audience was quick to observe a change in his behavior. Many pointed out his erratic behavior and assumed he was under the influence of substances because of his slurred speech.
During his live stream, people also noticed he seemed a little off and made clips of him slurring and not being himself. At the same time, they noticed how he was behaving differently with his chat as well.
SicK’s teammates back him
His teammates and former teammates have recognized his behavior and come forward to tell the audience that the pro player is not himself. His former teammate, ShahZaM also tweeted out in his support and said:
“I promise this isn’t who he is.”
Hey guys, I have Sick blocked so I can make this tweet. He’s not himself right now, please try your best to ignore his tweets and erratic behavior for now. I promise this isn’t who he is. Thanks for being understanding.
