Nye County Sheriff\'s Department Ties Granzier and Jacob Sweep The Area 51 raid may have been essentially canceled (at least to some extent), but some strange things are still afoot in Nevada. Ties Granzier, a YouTube star, and Govert Charles Wilhelmus Jacob Sweep, both from the Netherlands, were arrested near Area 51 on September 10. A satirical Storm Area 51 event was going to be held there in just about a week’s time, but that event has now transformed into an Area 51 Celebration in downtown Las Vegas. Meanwhile, a local Alienstock event of some sort is still happening.The YouTube Star & Friend Were Arrested on the Nevada National Security Site with a Drone & Cameras in Their Car Tie Granzier Sweep and Granzier were arrested on the Nevada National Security Site (near Area 51) in Nye County, 8 News Now reported. The Nye County Sheriff’s Office said they had parked near a gate about three miles onto the property. They had cameras, a phone, and a drone in their car. Sweep and Granzier told police that they were there to look at the facility and they had read and understood the “No Trespassing” signs, but drove onto the property anyway. Sweep is 21 and Granzier is 20. Both are from the Netherlands, Fox 5 Vegas reported.
