A TikTok influencer known as HSTikkyTokky has been spared from repaying the full cost of a private jet chartered by police to return him to the UK, after he avoided court for nearly a year following a serious car crash.
The Crash and International Evasion
Harrison Sullivan, the 24-year-old fitness influencer behind the HSTikkyTokky account, was handed a suspended custodial sentence last November. This followed a high-speed crash in his McLaren in Virginia Water, Surrey, in March 2024.
After the incident, Sullivan failed to appear in court for 12 months. During this time, he travelled to Dubai, Thailand, and Spain, all while continuing to produce social media content. He was eventually detained in Spain in August 2025 for unrelated matters.
The Controversial £15,000 Private Jet Flight
To repatriate him, Surrey Police spent approximately £15,000 on a chartered private flight. At a hearing at Staines Magistrates’ Court, the total costs to Surrey Police and the Crown Prosecution Service for bringing Sullivan back were revealed to be £28,350.27.
However, District Judge Julie Cooper ruled she would not order Sullivan to repay the full flight cost. She stated the use of a private jet was "not necessary or proportionate". The court heard the decision followed a risk assessment by the National Extradition Unit, though details were not disclosed.
Prosecutor Kane Alexander argued there were concerns Sullivan, as a recognisable fitness influencer, could be identified by the public on a commercial flight. Judge Cooper countered this, suggesting a first-class ticket could have mitigated the issue. "It seems that Mr Sullivan travels around on planes with impunity without too much risk to himself," she remarked.
Courtroom Arguments and Final Ruling
Defence solicitor Shalin Sood told the judge her client was "surprised by the private jet" and had been compliant in custody. She argued that while Sullivan evaded custody, chartering a jet was unnecessary, quipping: "It’s not rocket science trying to locate where Mr Sullivan is, judge – he livestreams everyday."
Judge Cooper ordered Sullivan to pay £9,270 in prosecution costs and £8,050.27 in police costs, totalling £17,320.27. She gave him six months to pay, rejecting claims about his inconsistent £2,000-a-week income by referencing his properties in the United Arab Emirates.
Sentencing and Documentary Appearance
Sullivan had previously pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance. His sentence includes a one-year suspended custodial sentence, a two-year driving ban, an electronic tag for three months, 300 hours of unpaid work, and 30 days of rehabilitation.
The court heard witnesses saw his supercar going "extremely fast", with data showing he was travelling at 71mph in a 40mph zone at the moment of impact.
Separately, the influencer is reportedly set to feature in a Louis Theroux documentary for Netflix exploring online misogyny. A viral clip shows Theroux reciting a past statement from Sullivan where he said: "Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer – I’m all those things."
