Grier was arrested and booked in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, after a warrant was issued to extradite him from his Encino, California, home. The former Vine star posted bail and is due to face a judge on Monday morning. 

Grier, whose brother is Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier, was the then-youngest contestant on DWTS in 2015, when he was 15. He made it to Week 7 before his elimination.
