Sheldon Norcross, a YouTuber who appeared in Reckless Ben’s videos about the Bricks & Minifigs LEGO dispute, has raised nearly $20,000 through a GoFundMe campaign as he prepares to take legal action against the American Fork Police Department. The fundraiser, launched in June, had collected $19,375 from 491 donations at the time of writing, putting it just short of its $20,000 goal. Norcross says the money will help cover legal costs linked to his March 2026 arrest in Utah. The case gained attention after body-camera footage of the arrest was later shared by YouTuber Benjamin Schneider, better known online as Reckless Ben.

Sheldon Norcross says fundraiser will support legal fight over March 2026 arrest
On the GoFundMe page, Sheldon Norcross said he, Tyler and Sierra are seeking support as they move forward with possible legal action stemming from their encounter with the American Fork Police Department.
In his message, Norcross said they had spoken with an experienced civil rights attorney and were informed that their rights may have been violated. He added that a prominent civil rights lawyer was in the process of being retained and that legal action could involve significant costs.
“Hi everyone-Sheldon from the Lego video here. My friends Tyler, Sierra, and I are asking for your support as we prepare to pursue legal action arising from our encounter with the American Fork Police Department.”
He also explained that donations would help pay for legal fees, court costs, expert witnesses, investigations, document retrieval and other expenses connected to the case.
The arrest became widely discussed after Reckless Ben included body-camera footage in his videos covering his ongoing dispute with Bricks & Minifigs and individuals connected to the company’s Keizer, Oregon franchise. Those videos showed several interactions between police officers, Schneider and members of his group, including Norcross.
