Austin McBroom has found himself in more legal trouble, with a new lawsuit being filed by the City of Beverly Hills against the YouTube star on October 26.

The City of Beverly Hills claimed McBroom, along with Sheeraz Hasan, who is also named as a defendant, did not apply for a permit to shut down the streets of Los Angeles.

“In order to hold a parade in Beverly Hills, an event organizer must first request a permit using a well-established application process, including working closely with City staff to help ensure that any and all public safety concerns are addressed,” the City claimed.
