Zachariah Greenberg, a local who goes by Muah Mafia on TikTok and who live streams much of his life living unhoused, was listed as a Washoe County inmate this morning, charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
He has been getting in repeated fights in recent weeks, which he talks about at length on his TikTok. His most recent video from yesterday showed his face bloodied and cut up, walking around, saying a “bunch of cops” were following him.
He was previously booked on Christmas Day on an assault charge.
He often has TikToks where he answers questions from followers who call him UNC.
He initially became popular by making videos while sleeping in a tent promoting marijuana related products, showing his life walking around town, and going to Meadowood Mall interacting with shoppers and workers there.
In one TikTok he had said he was no longer allowed at the mall. He was previously banned from going to the downtown library, although Our Town Reno was not given the exact reason why.
Another social media account with the handle butt-erfly posted videos of their severely bruised face sent to us saying they recently approached Greenberg and that they wanted to talk to him “about talking to kids.” They allege “he lost it pretty much.” They then posted a video with his booking information.
In another recent video, which appears to be filmed in a hotel room, Greenberg is seen with two others, including another local TikToker who goes by 2stzy, asking for people to stay away from him, not take any pictures or not give him any fist bumps. The video indicates 2stzy will be acting as his security.
A local reader who alerted us to these new developments asks the community to keep their distance from Greenberg if they see him around town and not to interact with him.
