Patty Mayo is a renowned American YouTuber and entrepreneur, perhaps best known for creating bounty-hunting videos. He’s widely recognized for his Dirty Harry-style escapades, which involve cuffing criminals, taking on criminals welding flamethrowers, and chasing down absconders.
Age, Early Life, and Education Background
Born Patrick Thomas Tarmey in Boston, Massachusetts, under the Cancer zodiac sign on 6 July 1987, nothing is known about his family, childhood life, and educational background.
Hobbies and Fun Facts
Patty is a very sociable person who’s keen on interacting with his fans, and fond of making personalized video shout-outs to them.
The Boston native loves adventure. He’s an outdoorsy person who says in his LinkedIn profile, ‘In my spare time I paraglide, scuba dive, skydive and pretty much anything else that goes fast or cranks up your adrenaline’
On 11 September 2012, Patty was arrested by the police for flying a paraglider over the Massachusetts Bay-based Boston Harbor. Although the YouTuber wasn’t doing anything illegal or harmful, people felt threatened and called the police when they spotted the peculiar craft flying over them.
Long before he became popular as Patty Mayo in 2014, Tarmey was managing a business called X-Marks. According to reports, individuals would pay him to go for ‘treasure hunting’ to find $20,000. Various contestants claiming to have paid the fee but failing to find the treasure took to social media complaining, and calling Mayo a scammer. He denied the scamming allegations and offered to refund anyone dissatisfied.
YouTube
Mayo launched his self-titled YouTube channel on 12 November 2013, then spent the first two years creating prank videos. Currently, Mayo prioritizes producing videos related to bounty-hunting, portraying a Southern Californian bounty who takes criminals awaiting trial and on bail into custody. Moreover, he creates content related to property recovery.
Mayo’s oldest video is “Fugitive Tries to Escape in Handcuffs!”, uploaded on 1 July 2017. Some of his viral videos are “HE HELPED ME REPO HIS GIRLFRIENDS CAR!” (uploaded on 17 August 2018), “BLACK BELT PUTS ME IN AN ARM BAR WHILE IN CUFFS!” (24 June 2018), and “HUSBAND TAKES 1 TOO MANY STEPS” (20 April 2019), which have around 50 million, 35 million, and 33 million views respectively. Mayo has accumulated over 11 million subscribers, and has uploaded over 500 videos, which have over 1.6 billion views.
Patty’s most viewed videos feature him tracking down and arresting lawbreakers. He’s mostly seen wearing a deputy sheriff uniform, and driving vehicles fitted with sirens and emergency lights. He also appears with taser and handgun props, and as a result, many wonder whether he’s an actor or a real bounty hunter. Mayo predominantly shoots videos in Oregon, where the law permits citizens to apprehend individuals committing misdemeanors such as assault, in their presence. The Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association previously stated on their website, ‘We are aware of the YouTuber Patty Mayo and his activities in Deschutes County. Mr. Mayo is not a member of law enforcement, nor affiliated in any way with any sheriff’s office in Oregon. He’s an actor, and the uniform he wears is a costume.’
On 19 August 2022, Mayo launched his secondary YouTube channel, but has uploaded only five videos, which have around 175,000 views. His most popular is “$10,000,000 ASALTO A LA MANSION”, uploaded on 9 October 2022 and has attracted almost 50,000 views; he’s accumulated around 20,000 subscribers.
