Puerto Rico is swiftly working to save its turtles from Jake Paul and friends.
The 24-year-old YouTube star and boxer published a deleted video on Instagram of him riding in one of two motorized vehicles rolling on a sandy beach, and he identified the location as Puerto Rico.
The video caught Puerto Rican officials’ attention and looking at the time of year could be a problem: It’s turtle nesting season.
“I have ordered an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the use of two motor vehicles on the beaches presented in Puerto Rico,” Secretary of Natural and Environmental Resources Rafael Margargo TMZ. Said in a statement reported by. “Some media today published a video of Jake Paul influencing him in a motor vehicle on the beach, an activity that is prohibited by law enforcement agencies apart from him.
“While the video does not establish where or when it was done, DNER reminds citizens that this type of activity is prohibited by law to protect the environment and species that may nest or live on beaches Those who violate the law face fines and other penalties, if applicable. “
Marchago’s statement praised civilian watchdogs who “noted the potential environmental damage that some people cause to ignorance or dishonesty.”
It is unclear whether 26-year-old Logan Paul was part of the group three weeks before the scheduled match against Floyd Mayweather.
The Paul brothers rose to fame as YouTube stars before becoming boxers and entrepreneurs.
He reportedly bought a $ 10 million beachfront mansion in Puerto Rico earlier this year when Logan transferred operations of his “maverick clothing” business to the island.
Logan Paul’s fight against Mayweather is scheduled for June 6 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. In Jake Paul’s most recent fight last month, he defeated former UFC champion Ben Escrain in less than two minutes.
