Street Outlaws Star Daddy Dave Arrested on Stalking Charges

From high-speed street racing to handcuffs—reality TV star David Comstock, better known as Daddy Dave from“Street Outlaws,”was booked into the Steubenville, New York, jail early on May 13, 2026, on charges of misdemeanor stalking and misdemeanor criminal tampering. The mugshot tells the story: he doesn’t look happy.

For nearly 13 years, Comstock has been a staple of the Discovery series“Street Outlaws”since the show premiered in 2013. He’s built a reputation as one of the most consistent racers in the lineup—someone you could count on to be competitive night after night. But this morning, the focus isn’t on his performance behind the wheel. Instead, he’s facing allegations of unwanted pursuit and property interference, the kind of legal trouble that doesn’t play well on a reality TV resume.

The charges involve stalking someone and meddling with their property—police code for deliberately tampering with another person’s belongings to cause them serious inconvenience. What led to these allegations? That part remains unclear. Authorities haven’t released specifics about what Comstock allegedly did or who his accuser is. For now, he’s being held without bail, which means the situation is being taken seriously by the court.

This marks a sharp turn for a man whose claim to fame has been his skill behind the wheel and his longevity on one of cable’s longest-running automotive reality shows. Whether this is an isolated incident or part of a bigger pattern won’t be known until more details surface. What’s certain is that the image of Comstock as the friendly, competitive racer is taking a hit—and the“Street Outlaws”franchise will have to grapple with how to move forward with one of its most visible personalities sidelined by criminal charges.
