Was Bryce Hall arrested for drug possession?

YouTuber Bryce Hall and a member of his TikTok collab Sway House, Jaden Hossler, were arrested on Drug Possession Charges on May 25, 2020. The duo was kept overnight in Lee County, Texas, while on a cross-country trip across the United States amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Both were released on bail the following morning.

Bryce Hall issued an apology through a letter published on People on June 23, 2020. In the letter, Hall expressed his regret for the arrest and said that he was dedicated to change:

"Sitting in that jail cell for a day, I had so much time to think. I thought about how much I had let my mom down. As a single mom, she worked really hard to raise me and has always been my number one supporter through everything — including my screw-ups. I knew that if I had listened to her 100 percent, I wouldn’t have ended up there," Bryce Hall wrote.
