Jake Paul Under Investigation for Messing with Turtles on Beach

Jake Paul is under investigation … this time by officials in Puerto Rico for riding a motorized vehicle on a protected beach.

To use a bullfighting metaphor … Jake waived the proverbial red flag in front of a bull by posting a video of him and some friends tooling around a beach in golf carts, smack in the middle of turtle-nesting season. That’s illegal.

It looks like the driver is his brother, Logan, although we haven’t been able to confirm.

Jake deleted the vid, but it’s too late because the investigation has been launched by the country’s Dept. of Natural and Environmental Resources.

Logan said back in February he was moving some of his businesses, including Maverick Clothing, to Dorado, Puerto Rico … which is near San Juan. Logan said on his podcast back then, “I thought it was more third-world than I suspected, so I went out there to scout it and I just fell in love with it.” Jake and Logan snagged a $10 million beachfront mansion.
