Members of popular collective video content group on TikTok, Bryce Hall and Jade Hossler, have been arrested on drug charges. The group called the Sway House was on a cross-country road trip and were residing in Texas during the time of the arrest.

On Monday, Hall and Hossler were arrested in Giddings, Texas. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the two were in custody on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, in since deleted tweets Hall wrote, “im back” and Hossler said, “Hi.”

Later TikTok users spotted a comment left by Hossler’s father that read, “Hey Tik Tok folk! Thx for all the prayers for Jaden. Not gonna share a lot of details right now but Jaden and the boys are going to be ok. More later.”

The sheriff’s office stated that Hossler was arrested on two counts. One being the possession of four to 400 grams of a controlled substance in penalty group two and the other being possession of two to four ounces of marijuana. According to the state of Texas, penalty group two includes most hallucinogens and stimulants.

Hossler was then charged with a second degree felony which is punishable by two to 20 years in state prison or a fine of up to $10,000. The sheriff office reports that he was being held on a $11,000 bond.

The hashtag “#FreeSway” started to trend on Twitter earlier this week after a fan’s Snapchat footage of the pair being arrested went viral.
