Oneal turned himself in after investigators gave the public stern instructions to identify the man seen in a video shared to Instagram.

“If you are the person in the video, or person taking the video, the smart thing to do now:  1. Walk into any police station unarmed and speak to investigators. 2. Make it a lesson learned and move forward from there,”  the tweet read.
