According to the Metro Nashville Police Traffic Unit, Maycol Castaneda Orellana was arrested on Monday following an investigation into an Instagram account that posted flyers, photos advertising dangerous street racer meetups and intersection takeovers.

Orellana now faces charges of inciting a riot and aggravated riot. He remains in jail on a $30,000 bond as the investigation into illegal street racing activity continues.
