SHOCK ARREST Liver King arrested after 'making threats' to Joe Rogan in bizarre Insta vid
Johnson was arrested at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas, after making the threats to Rogan.
'Man to man, I'm picking a fight with you,' he told Rogan in a clip that has gone viral.
Johnson claimed Rogan should win any bout comprehensively given his martial arts background.
Rogan is a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
Johnson was holding gold guns and wearing a wolf hat as he issued the threat to Rogan.
'Your rules, I'll come to you, whenever you're ready,' the Netflix star said.
Three testicles a day, 50 eggs & $100m 'scam' - inside bizarre life of 'muscled Andrew Tate' star The Liver King
A clip of Johnson being arrested was uploaded to his Instagram account.
He was seen being led into a police car in the hotel parking lot.
Johnson was charged with making a terroristic threat.
If convicted, he could face a six month jail sentence and a fine of up to $2,000, according to the Law Office of E. Jason Leach.

Bearded Johnson looked disheveled in his mugshot as he stared at the camera.
Cops revealed their investigation remains ongoing.
Johnson describes himself as a barbarian and went viral for his unconventional lifestyle, and his predominantly raw meat diet.
'Why would I have vegetables when I can eat testicles,' he quipped in a previous interview.
He credited the rather unique diet for giving him his physique.
But, he has been embroiled in controversy. In 2022, he was sued for $26 million after admitting to steroid use.
Johnson had previously denied using performance enhancing drugs.
He spoke of his regret during a sitdown with Piers Morgan.
'I feel like a total piece of crap,' he said.
'I know what I did was wrong. I lied about it. I feel like I've let an entire generation down.'
It emerged that he spent around $11,000 per month on the drugs.
Johnson features in the Netflix film: Untold The Liver King.

Fact check: Claims around Britannia hotel in Canary Wharf
These claims differ from what the police have said about the events. The police say that people filmed leaving the hotel on mopeds were hotel staff, while the escort was provided to a delivery driver who was delivering to the hotel. Police also said that the ban on protest applies only to a specific group of people and if others want to protest at the hotel lawfully they are allowed. Protests took place outside the Britannia hotel on Sunday amid reports that asylum seekers are set to be housed at the site. Delivery drivers The video of the delivery driver being escorted by police matches images on Google Street View from the site, another video of the event has been shared on social media and the police commented on the video – all of which confirm that the event was indeed filmed at the location in Canary Wharf. The police statement said that the driver was not a resident at the hotel and that there's no evidence they were an illegal worker. 'This person was delivering to the hotel, they were not being accommodated there. There is no evidence to suggest they were working illegally,' the Met Police said. 'They were were surrounded and intimidated by those gathered outside and officers intervened to make sure they got away safely.' A screenshot from another video which showed two people on mopeds trying to leave the hotel matches Street View images from the scene. In response to that the police said: 'The two people leaving were members of staff working at the hotel who were, as with the incident this afternoon, subjected to unacceptable harassment by those waiting outside.' Protesters Videos were circulated online showing police ordering people to leave the area. However, in a statement the Metropolitan Police said that this was for a group which remained 'who were harassing occupants of the hotel and staff'. 'Their actions went well beyond protest to harassment and we used powers under the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 to order that specific group to leave and not return for 28 days. 'If a different group wishes to protest in the vicinity of the hotel they are not banned from doing so, providing they do so lawfully.'
