What Happened To The Island Boys?
According to the Daily Mail, cops raided the Island Boys' home after a man accused of killing an eight-year-old girl with a stray bullet lodged there for a few nights. The boys are not a part of the investigation.
The accused, Andrew Thomas, arrived at the house a few nights before the raid and slept on the TikTok stars' couch before being arrested on Monday, according to the Daily Mail. Dovi Bezner, the boys' agent, told WBPF that Thomas and the duo had been childhood friends.
"We had no idea any of this was going on, really," Bezner said.
"We just knew him as a quiet kid, and he would come and hang out and do his thing and go back to whatever he was going on, but we had no clue about any of these allegations toward him. We just knew him as a good person, someone who grew up with the Island Boys."
