‘Selfie kid’ Ryan McKenna, 18, is slammed to the ground by cops in new arrest video

A boy who rose to fame after taking a selfie with Justin Timberlake at the 2018 Super Bowl was arrested by Florida police after a drunken brawl.

Ryan McKenna, 18, was filmed being knocked to the ground by deputies as they attempted to wrestle him in handcuffs outside a California Pizza Kitchen in Naples.

McKenna allegedly got into a drunken brawl with a 15-year-old friend on the eve of this year’s Super Bowl game and later ripped an officer’s hands off his chest as they tried to control him, according to a incident report reviewed by TMZ.

Video of the incident showed three officers trying to restrain McKenna until one of them grabbed his left leg, swinging it into the air and forcing him to the ground.

He was then taken to the Naples Prison Center and charged with a felony against a law enforcement officer and two misdemeanors – resisting arrest and obstructing an officer.

McKenna became a social media sensation at the age of 13 after taking a selfie with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl LII halftime show.

Shortly after the viral incident, he appeared on Good Morning America, where he said his phone “exploded” with messages and calls and excitedly described how he had gained more than 8,000 social media followers overnight.

After earning the name Selfie Kid, McKenna became more and more famous for taking more selfies with different celebrities and accumulating nearly half a million followers on Instagram.

Discussing his recent arrest in Florida, his mother told TMZ that he hadn’t been drunk, just messing around with friends and that a friend had pulled out a chair from under him.

According to an incident report reviewed by the outlet, police responded to a report on the evening of Feb. 11 that a man was drunk and hit his friend.

When police arrived, officers said a 15-year-old boy told them he was friends with McKenna, but they got into a fight.

The dispute continued to escalate until McKenna got up and aggressively pushed the California Pizza Kitchen table and began yelling obscenities at the boy’s girlfriend.

Police say they spoke to the 15-year-old when McKenna aggressively intervened, but he was eventually pulled over and allowed to calm down.

Mall security then requested that McKenna be escorted off the premises, but police say his behavior then turned aggressive when he tried to approach the boy again.
