After speculation as to if the post was real or not, police revealed in the comments section on Facebook that “this is a legitimate post from the Daytona Beach Police Department.”
“At this time we can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact and Mr. Bell is safe,” the update stated. Representatives for Bell have yet to comment on the situation.

In 2021, Bell admitted guilt to felony attempted child endangerment and misdemeanor dissemination of harmful material to juveniles. He received a sentence of two years of probation and 200 hours of community service. He was also required to register as a sex offender. A few months later, Bell took to Instagram to acknowledge his behavior saying it was “reckless and irresponsible.”
“I know that this has moved very quickly for you, but for me, it’s been a three-year, thorough investigation into every false claim that has been made,” Bell stated at the time. “And, it’s not me telling you that the claims are false, but the state of Ohio has proven the claims to be false. If these claims were remotely true, my situation would be very different. I would not be here at home with my wife and with my son. But that being said, I am not perfect, and I make mistakes.”
“When I was presented with a plea deal because of the messages, I felt that it was the best way to get this over quickly and for everybody involved to be able to move on and for me to get back to doing what I love,” he went on to continue.
