POPULAR TikTok personality Elias Fritz was once again before the court yesterday, where he admitted to a drug charge while awaiting trial over an alleged 2025 attempted murder.
Fritz, 20, was found with 12 grams of marijuana in New Providence on August 12.
At the time of the offence, Fritz was on bail for attempted murder.
The accused, who has more than 300,000 TikTok followers and is known online as “Jaido World”, and a 16-year-old boy are alleged to have tried to rob Theodore Fernander of his white Honda Odyssey on August 11, 2025, and to have attempted to kill him.
The pair also face charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition and the attempted murder of two police officers.
They were arrested after a police chase ended with their vehicle crashing into a utility pole on Eastern Road last year.
Fritz was also before the court in May in connection with an alleged car theft.
Prosecutors alleged Fritz and Q’Shawn Turnquest, 21, stole a red 2014 Nissan Juke belonging to Miranda Adderley on May 11.
The vehicle is valued at $10,500.
Fritz pleaded guilty to his latest charge of possession of dangerous drugs before Deputy Chief Magistrate Shaka Serville.
He admitted that the drugs were for his personal use and asked the magistrate for leniency.
Magistrate Serville granted Fritz a conditional discharge and placed him on probation for six months. A breach of his probation would result in a $500 fine or three months in prison.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Kendrick Bauld prosecuted the case.
