Corey Pritchett Jr., the Houston-based social media influencer who fled the country after allegedly threatening to assault and kill two women, was arrested Thursday and booked into the Harris County Jail.
Pritchett, 26, is facing two charges of aggravated kidnapping and was being held in the jail on a combined $200,000 bond, according to court records.
A warrant for Pritchett's arrest was first issued following a Nov. 22 incident when he allegedly drove the two women -- who told police they feared for their lives -- to a remote area west of Houston and forced them out of his vehicle.
In posts to TikTok and Instagram around the same time, Pritchett said that he was leaving the country to start a new life in Dubai. Authorities with the FBI confirmed that Pritchett flew to Doha Airport in Qatar with a one-way ticket, according to court documents.
It was not immediately clear Friday when or how Pritchett returned to the U.S. If he is released from jail on bond, he is required to surrender his passport and remain in the Greater Houston area, court records show.
Pritchett's court-appointed defense attorney could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.
Pritchett has garnered a massive following on social media and a personal YouTube channel, which accumulated nearly 4 million subscribers. He had more than 1 million subscribers on another YouTube channel shared with his wife, and regularly touted his musical career on social media.

The two women allegedly kidnapped by Pritchett told police they met him at a gym in southwest Houston hours before he offered to give them a ride home, court documents show. During the drive that evening, they said they noticed a change in Pritchett's behavior. He allegedly began driving in the opposite direction of the home, eventually speeding up to 100 miles per hour on Interstate 10, according to court records.
Pritchett allegedly pointed a gun at one woman when she began texting on her cell phone and insinuated in a phone call during the drive that he had the "perfect opportunity" to drive the women to a remote area where no one could hear or find them, according to court documents.
After passing a restaurant in Sealy, he pulled over the vehicle and allegedly told the women to step out, warning it would be their last opportunity, court records show.
Investigators say they confirmed information the women told police with cell phone records and screenshots of their location from the Life 360 app.
