Valorant player Hunter “SicK” Mims has been arrested for the second time this year. And it’s the same charge as the arrest before.
Who is Hunter “SicK” Mims? The 25-year-old American is a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player. Since April 2020 he has been working on his Valorant career and has been signed by the esports team “Sentinels”.
What was “SicK” arrested for? According to Valorant journalist George Geddes, “SicK” has been arrested again for trespassing. He was arrested in March after refusing to leave a car dealership.
SicK confirmed the case in a tweet, saying he was jailed for nothing.

George Geddes addresses the community on Twitter and draws attention to the current arrest of “SicK”. This was based on the same charges as a few months earlier. He states that the professional player is not doing well, which can also be seen in the streams. He also asks to support “SicK” when he’s back (via Twitter).
At the same time, former teammates are demanding that the behavior of “SicK” be ignored. “ShahZaM” explains that he blocked “SicK” on Twitter to post this tweet. His former colleague is not himself. “Please ignore his tweets and his unpredictable behavior,” he writes on the social media platform. Finally, thank you for your understanding.
Here is the original tweet:
The community writes in the comments that you have to help him. Many are concerned about the Valorant player. “He needs someone. Speak to him before it’s too late.”
How does “SicK” react to this? The Valorant player responds to the block by asking if “ShahZaM” doesn’t understand the situation. The following day he wrote on Twitter that he had been wrongly arrested and called for “global peace for everyone”. In another tweet, he asks if “everyone was brainwashed?”
He reportedly struggled with mental health issues
What’s next for the pro? According to his own statements, the player struggled with mental problems in the past. In June last year, “SicK” commented on his condition on Twitter. He has struggled with his mental health for months and feels much better.
He also hopes to be able to compete again soon. His last official game was in May 2022. The “Sentinels” were on the verge of victory, but then ultimately lost. The team then substituted the player “Rawkus” for “SicK” (via dot esports).
His plan hasn’t aged well.
The Valorant team “Sentinels” suspended him after his arrest in March. And he still hasn’t returned – the team’s website lists him as a substitute.
Because a player was too busy playing a new online game, a pro team had to give up an entire match.
