Street Outlaws Star Daddy Dave Arrested for Stalking in New York

When you’ve built a career on the edge—racing fast cars, chasing wins, living by street rules—the line between that persona and real life can get dangerously blurred. Reality star David Comstock, better known as Daddy Dave from the hit show“Street Outlaws,”learned that lesson the hard way early Wednesday morning when he was booked into the Steuben, New York jail on misdemeanor stalking and criminal tampering charges.

The mugshot tells the story: no smiles, no swagger—just the weight of two serious accusations. Comstock, who’s been a fixture on“Street Outlaws”since its 2013 premiere and built a reputation as one of the show’s most consistent race car drivers and top contenders, now faces the consequences of behavior that went way beyond the track. The tampering charge suggests property damage or interference—meddling with someone’s belongings in a way designed to cause real inconvenience. But it’s the stalking charge that hits harder, pointing to a pattern of unwanted pursuit or contact that crossed into illegal territory.

As of now, Comstock is being held without bail, and the specifics of what he actually did remain unclear. The details matter, and they’re coming—but right now, all we have are the charges and a man who went from chasing victory laps to facing a judge. For a guy who’s made his name outrunning the competition, this is a race he can’t win.“Street Outlaws”fans and casual observers alike are watching to see what comes next in a situation that proves even the biggest personalities aren’t above the law.
