While attending the University of Arizona, Jimmy Tatro entered into the Greek life system and said that more than anything, he was happy to be part of an organization. “You can definitely have a good time in college no matter what you’re involved in, you just gotta be involved in something,” he explained to Knight News. At least on one occasion, Tatro became a little too involved in Greek life. PerThe Los Angeles Loyolan, in one of his standup sets, he recounted the time when he landed in jail after running from cops while intoxicated. Oh, and he happened to be wearing an elf costume.
While in the slammer, Tatro remembered trying to fight a guy. “Santa’s gonna be so mad,” he said he told his fellow inmates about his misdeeds. Tatro then used his wild experience to create the skit “Campus Police” on his YouTube channel. “Inspired by the s***heads over at the University of Arizona Police Department and Tucson PD,” reads the video description.
Tatro may have had even more stories if he completed his degree. Instead, he dropped out during his junior year in college and started putting all of his time and energy into creating YouTube videos, according to TCU 360.
