Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, better known by his YouTube username VitalyzdTv, is a Russian-born YouTube personality. However, with five members of Trollstation now facing jail time, it looks like ANOTHER YouTube prankster will be joining them behind bars after climbing the famous 45ft Hollywood sign and waving around a flag. Also, considering that Zdorovetskiy runs a YouTube channel filled with nothing but pranks, we wouldn’t be surprised if the phrase “pranked, bro!” popped up at some point.

YouTube prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy was arrested for climbing the Hollywood sign.
The LAPD was on scene reportedly trying to coax the man down.
Yesterday, on Twitter he promised “a big stunt” for “The Welcome BACK video”.
When he returned to the ground once again, he was met by a bevy of officers, who took him into custody for trespassing.
It was learned that it is illegal to draw near the 45-foot-tall historical landmark, which is protected by a fence and a high-tech security system, featuring a motion recognition and closed-circuit cameras, Daily Mail reported.
Officials said Zdorovetskiy, who was released after posting bail Wednesday night, would be charged with trespassing, which carries a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in county jail. Hence, any movement in the stamped confined areas immediately triggers the alarm, which notifies the LAPD officer nearby.

A Zdorovetskiy fan tweeted that he was at the Hollywood sign and on the way down stopped to take a picture. That incident catapulted his viewership on Youtube to over four million subscribers.
