Police arrested a Tesla driver and social media personality at Ben Gurion Airport on Friday morning, after a passenger terminal identity check flagged that his driver's license had been suspended by a traffic court the previous day. The suspect, who also participates in television shows, was taken for questioning by traffic investigators. A passenger who was with him in the vehicle was released. The arrest follows a separate incident at the same airport reported earlier by The Zioneer, in which another social media influencer was taken for questioning, though that case involved a different set of circumstances.
