Travis Scott Arrested in Miami Beach

(ReliableNews.org) – Jacques Bermon Webster II is better known as rapper Travis Scott. The music arrest is currently embroiled in multiple lawsuits related to the Astroworld Festival crowd crush that killed 10 people in 2021. Scott was also recently arrested in Miami, Florida.

On June 20, police arrested Scott at the Miami Beach Marina. The rapper was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing. Officers said they arrived at the marina while responding to a call about a fight on one of the boats. They encountered the rapper when they arrived on the scene.

The police report stated that Scott was arguing with the occupants of one of the yachts. They said he smelled like alcohol but listened to officers at first. The individual told the rapper to get away from their boat. Police escorted Scott away from the boat but he began yelling obscenities at the people.

The officers claim Scott said that if he had to get into a car that was waiting for him then he was “gonna catch a fade.” The rapper then left the scene but he returned 5 minutes later. Law enforcement officers saw Scott start walking toward the yacht again but they were able to intercept him. At that point, they claim he acted belligerently and was taken into custody.

Scott allegedly admitted to the police that he was drinking, telling them, “It’s Miami.”

Bradford Cohen, Scott’s lawyer, said the rapper was “briefly detained due to a misunderstanding.” The attorney said there wasn’t a physical altercation and thanked Miami police “for working with [them] towards a swift and amicable resolution.”

On the same day of his arrest, Scott shared his mugshot on social media. It had been edited and showed him with sunglasses and headphones on. The rapper is set to go on tour in less than a week. His Circus Maximus tour begins in the Netherlands.
