Police are currently searching for Tyler Reid Carmickle, age 23, wanted by Portland cops for being a coward who loves extorting and swatting minors for a living. He spent his online years renting ogus to try to impress minors he could groom, only to fail at it miserably. In one notable incident, after failing to extort a minor who goes by @rina on Telegram, Carmickle went on a three-week rant threatening to kill himself if Rina didn't take him back.

Tyler Reid Carmickle is well known for putting Sharpies up his butt. If you scroll down, you can actually see an image of him doing it. He gained notoriety after sending minors videos of himself putting Sharpies up his butt in a pathetic attempt to impress them, which ultimately cucked him out.

What actually drove him to crash out and begin extorting and swatting minors was a relationship with a 15-year-old girl named Rina. At the time, Carmickle was 22 while dating the minor. Rina eventually realized how poor Kayce actually was and started seeing a threat actor who goes by Donnie, one of Kayce's rivals.

This rejection devastated Kayce. He watched his underage girlfriend leave him for another man with more money, and all Kayce could do was sit in the cuck chair. The humiliation reached a point where he grew tired of sitting in that metaphorical chair and attempted to extort the 15-year-old girl, launching his pattern of criminal behavior against minors.

The Sharpie thing (yeah, seriously)

When this degenerate got raided for swatting minors using his personal phone number, cops discovered child pornography and pictures of Sharpies in his butt that he had been sending to minors. This pathetic loser somehow managed to sink even lower than anyone imagined.

Actually extorting/swatting minors

Carmickle currently faces two separate court cases for extorting and swatting minors. The first case involves a 15-year-old girl named Rina, whom he dated when he was 22 years old. The second case involves a 13-year-old girl named Lina, whom he similarly targeted while posing as a teenager online.

Case summary

Suspect: Tyler Reid Carmickle, 23, currently evading Portland police after fleeing his workplace at Portland Marina.

Origin of crimes: Carmickle's criminal behavior began following his humiliation over the rejection by 15-year-old Rina, whom he dated when he was 22. After Rina left him for a rival with more money, Carmickle attempted to extort her, launching his pattern of targeting minors.

Victims: He currently faces two separate court cases involving 15-year-old Rina (former girlfriend whose rejection triggered his criminal pattern) and 13-year-old Lina (additional minor he targeted while posing as a teenager online).

Criminal methods: Carmickle used Telegram to extort and swat minors, threatening to ruin their lives if they stopped communicating with him. He employed swatting (fake emergency calls to trigger armed police responses) as a weapon of control against underage victims.

Evidence discovered: During a police raid on his residence, authorities found child pornography, explicit images of Sharpies inserted in his butt (which he sent to minors), and evidence linking him to multiple swatting incidents.

Additional disturbing behavior: Carmickle spent years renting OGUs (online gaming usernames) in pathetic attempts to impress minors he sought to groom. After failing to extort Rina, he went on a three-week Telegram rant threatening suicide if she didn't take him back.
