CULVER CITY — A 33-year-old Hawthorne man was taken into custody for suspicion of making multiple online threats targeting TikTok’s Culver City headquarters, authorities said Saturday.
TikTok employees reported receiving a series of online threats through various social media platforms from a suspect identified as Joseph Mayuyo, according to a Culver City Police Department statement.
On Friday, Mayuyo allegedly threatened TikTok’s Culver City headquarters again on a social media platform, police said. Company security evacuated the building out of an abundance of caution, police said.
Detectives and related teams went to Mayuyo’s residence, where he threatened online that he would not be taken alive if an arrest was attempted, police said. Detectives obtained arrest and search warrants.
At 10:10 p.m. Friday, crisis negotiators initiated contact with Mayuyo, police said. After more than 90 minutes, Mayuyo came out of his residence and was taken into custody without further incident.
Mayuyo was booked into the Culver City Police Department Jail for suspicion of criminal threats and a search at his residence produced items of evidence, police said.
Mayuyo was being held without bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s online inmate locator.
“This incident demonstrates our department’s strong commitment to ensuring the safety of our community and local businesses,” said Police Chief Jason Sims. “We take all threats seriously and investigate them thoroughly.”
