A well-known YouTuber with nearly three million subscribers, recognized for his content on architecture, sacred geometry, and AI-consciousness evolution, has been charged with attempted murder in New Hampshire. The allegations stem from an incident in which he allegedly tried to run over a police officer with his Jeep. The accused, 35-year-old Erik Conover, denied the charges during his first court hearing, calling the situation a “massive misunderstanding.”
During his bail hearing, Conover claimed that he was the one who had been brutalized by state troopers. He also asserted that authorities had mistaken him for someone else, maintaining that he is a content creator from New York City, not from New Jersey as law enforcement alleged.
The incident in question occurred when a police officer observed Conover speeding past in a 35-mph zone while the officer was conducting an unrelated traffic stop. The officer estimated Conover’s speed at around 55-60 miles per hour and pursued him, eventually bringing him to a stop. However, things escalated when the officer exited his vehicle and moved to the rear of his squad car. At that moment, Conover allegedly reversed his Jeep at high speed, accelerating toward the officer and striking him. The impact sent the officer flying between 20 and 40 feet. A nearby drone operator reportedly captured the entire event on video, providing crucial evidence for the case.
Conover insisted that the authorities had the wrong person, reiterating that he is a well-known YouTuber and had no involvement in an attempted murder. In addition to this charge, he was also facing a separate DWI charge from an arrest that had taken place just days earlier. He claimed that he had only been charged with marijuana possession, but official records indicated he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and had been released on personal recognizance.
The judge at Conover’s Monday hearing denied him bail, deciding to hold him until a probable cause hearing scheduled for March 25. During the court appearance, Conover made several outbursts, including a declaration that he would “eviscerate every single person with [his] intelligence.” He also accused jail staff of mistreating him and was heard reciting a modified version of the Lord’s Prayer mixed with curse words.
Along with the attempted murder charge, Conover faces multiple other charges, including first-degree assault against a police officer, second-degree assault, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, disobeying an officer, and reckless driving.
On his YouTube channel, one of his most recent videos was titled “How I Got Sober from Alcohol.” The video description, last updated on March 14, indicated that he had been sober from alcohol for over 1,500 days. His channel bio describes a focus on “homes built for energetic resonance and human expansion,” with an emphasis on real estate featuring “frequency-based intelligence,” “ancient wisdom,” and “quantum design principles.”
