Hunter 'SicK' Mims, a professional VALORANT player, was arrested by Texas police late last week. According to details, he was charged with breaking and entering for an incident that occurred on March 3 at a car dealership.

In recent days, a video circulated showing the Sentinels player and an employee of the place fighting. SicK refused to leave the premises despite requests from the staff, so authorities had to intervene and eventually arrested him on March 4. Since then, the player has been in jail and could remain there for months.


The player is in an unstable situation and has had to deal with mental health issues in recent months. For this reason, he took a break from events and other activities in his life as a VALORANT professional. However, he came to the attention of the community after the problem at the dealership. SicK has been in jail for several days and now faces 2 alternatives: spend 180 days in jail or pay a hefty fine for breaking and entering.

On the other hand, Sentinels suspended him until further notice and is currently looking for a replacement. According to various sources, the contract between the player and the team remains intact. Apparently, the squad will allow his reinstatement if he takes special training after his release from prison.

The team is also said to have helped the player's family at all times. Reports claim that SicK is still being held on a bond amounting to $5000 USD.

Mental health is of great importance, and this event must be somewhat complicated and distressing for the player. We hope that this situation can be resolved in the best possible way and that the entire Sentinels team is well.
