YouTuber WhistlinDiesel Faces Arrest Again in Three Months

Cody Detwiler, widely recognized as WhistlinDiesel on YouTube, has recently found himself in legal trouble once more due to tax-related issues. The content creator claims he owes a significant sum of $30, 000 in taxes.

Recent Arrests Highlight Tax Evasion Case

On November 12, 2025, Detwiler was apprehended in Williamson County, Tennessee, facing charges of tax evasion. He was released on a substantial bond set at $2 million just hours after being booked.

However, this would not be his last encounter with the law. Just 74 days later, on January 25, 2025, upon returning to the United States, Detwiler was taken into custody again. Fortunately for him, he was released within 50 minutes, although he remained responsible for the aforementioned tax debt.

In a somewhat lighthearted manner, Detwiler was photographed smiling in his mugshot. He attributed his predicament to a lack of communication from authorities, stating he had not been notified about the tax liability he allegedly owed.

Details of the Allegations

The source of confusion appears to be linked to the registration of a specific vehicle implicated in the tax evasion allegations. Registered in Montana, the vehicle in question was reportedly destroyed in a different state, complicating the situation further.

Detwiler expressed his frustration on social media, asserting, “They didn’t send me a letter saying I owed any tax and instead formed a three-year-long case. They did not give me any notice or any opportunity to pay any tax.”

Background and Previous Legal Issues

This incident marks yet another chapter in Detwiler’s legal history. He previously faced misdemeanor charges in 2022 after gaining media attention for reckless behavior on a jet ski in a local lake, which could have resulted in up to a year in jail.

Detwiler maintains that he has always fulfilled his tax obligations, reinforcing this claim after his latest arrest. As the investigation unfolds, it will be interesting to observe how this situation developments further.
