In late-June 2019 D’Ron Maingrette, 33, a former competitive gamer and current e-sports commentator better known as “D1,” went to Cleveland for a weekend birthday party. To get back to his home in California, Maingrette flew out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
Due to an ankle injury, Maingrette used a wheelchair to get around the airport. It/he was pushed by an airport wheelchair attendant. Apparently, the attendant didn’t do much attending. Or at least not much paying attention.
According to Maingrette, he stopped to use a restroom near his gate prior to his flight. Knowing that he would only be gone for a minute, Maingrette left his bag on the (attended) wheelchair during the stop.
You know where this is going. Of course, when Maingrette returned his bag was gone. That left him without his wallet… or his passport. Not a good position to be in when you have a flight to catch like… now.
Watch as officers of the Cleveland Police Department find Maingrette’s bag — in the hands of an unexpected thief.
Also, a heartfelt hug.

What a d*ck move to do that to someone.
This one was a rollercoaster, on one hand I was really happy when he got his bag back but on the other hand I then read the description and remembered where I knew that rapist from. So that part isn't great, but at least someone got a bag back even if the specifics make it a little… bittersweet. Let's just hope that party he was flying out to was just a totally fine and healthy party for consenting adults.
Stealing a bag in a secure area, then using your credentials to surreptitiously bring it onto a commercial flight with no record of the bag, is a misdemeanor? This policy seems very pro-terrorism.
LMFAO. I never thought I’d see D1 on this channel. He’s the homie in the smash/fighting game scene
Too complicated? No it just involved black people 🤣😂 😬
Every video title would be too complicated if you felt you had to explain the whole thing but some how you come up with titles for just about everything.
"MAN HAS BAG STOLEN IN AIRPORT"
LMAOOOOOO yea way too complicated.
"How do we describe Bad People as victims of a crime?"
"Damn idk" 😂😂ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
he should have just said he thought it was his bag
that cop is super cool
Maingrette could have become one of those people who has to live at the airport because he has no ID.
it would be frontier
Imagine taking a fucking unattended bag on a plan in a post 9/11 world
He asked if he could give him a hug after he determined everything was in it!🤣 I don’t blame him either, the officer just saved him from a trip to the DMV/MVA, that alone’s worth a hug.
YOO ITS D1!!
I LOVE PLAYING SMASH AND D1 IS A SMASH LEGEND.
Basically sums up frontier airlines
He was going to give it to the gate agent… but.. he took it on the plane? This donut thinks its totally fine to take someone's belongings and travel across the entire country. That's called theft bud.
Just saw flight attendant was suspended from
airline and then fired.
maybe he was going to do the right thing but that seems sus as fuck
That’s embarrassing for the thief. I’d be ultra shamed.
This is why I have a gawdy loud colored bag that has squeaky wheels
Gotta admit, that "unattended bag" shit is pretty clever.
At 2:34 the cop's description of the victim includes his race as an afterthought.
After he gets fired he'll probably smuggle money for Ordell.
Lit 🔥 Lol 😂 Lit 🔥 🔥😂🔥💯
I bet that guy is going around telling all his Florida friends that some Cleveland police officer harassed him for no reason when he was trying to be a good citizen and he lost his job because of some bullshit.
ABM =discrete way of saying all black male
I once heard that Ohio is a Native American word for "beautiful" and that Cleveland is a Native American word for "not"…..
Playing part time TSA agent does not get you out of trouble for theft.
Great service Officer
why is it that no matter what airline you travel there is always a screaming baby?
I thought this dude was like 19, but he’s 33?? Crazy man
Very nice
He should have faced a judge.
Do you think he was on the look out for a passenger his size and fashion sense to steal from?
The sound and pity of a thief., Making excused stumbling, also D1 better tip the ABN wheelchair pusher good, they live off that
If this were 2020, D1 would be in prison.
