YouTube Star WhistlinDiesel Arrested on Tax Evasion Charges

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TN – Cody Detwiler, the YouTube personality known as WhistlinDiesel, was arrested on Wednesday in Tennessee on two felony counts of alleged tax evasion, according to court records. Detwiler, 27, was released on bond from Williamson County Court later the same day.

The indictment, obtained by TMZ, reportedly connects the charges to unpaid sales tax on a 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo.

WhistlinDiesel, whose real name is Cody Detwiler, took to social media after his release, posting on Instagram, “Won so big they thought I was cheating. (100% real not AI).” He also commented, “I didn’t do ANYTHING,” denying any wrongdoing.

The arrest comes months after Detwiler posted a YouTube video in August of 2023 featuring the same Ferrari. The video showed the vehicle engulfed in flames after he drove it through a cornfield. A rental van accompanying the Ferrari also caught fire.

In the video, Detwiler commented on the loss, estimating the value of the destroyed vehicles at around half a million dollars, stating, “There goes half a million dollars. I guess don’t drive in cornfields.” He also wrote in the video description: “I regret to inform everyone that my $400,000 Ferrari F8 and rental minivan with only 5,000 miles on it has recently burned down to a pile of ash. This was a complete accident and I originally intended on filming so many more things with the car, but this was a great lesson to do even more crazy things before your car catches on fire. Tis But A Scratch! We will be back Ferrari …”

The case is ongoing, and further details are pending investigation.
