At that time, he was issued a warrant for violation of conditions of release and charged with resisting arrest.
West, a Maryland native, was also at the center of a case in 2020 when he got into a fight with a friend after the two were kicked out of MGM.
The case gained attention after a Prince George’s County police officer recorded and allegedly posted a video of West in handcuffs after the fight.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The Virginia House of Delegates unanimously re-elected Don Scott into another term as Speaker on Wednesday.
Scott was elected the first Black Speaker in Virginia’s 406-year history back in 2024, and his re-election on Wednesday, Jan. 14 marks the first time a Virginia Speaker has served back to back terms since Speaker Howell in 2018, per a release.
“When I first picked up this gavel, I said I wasn’t holding it for myself,” Scott said after the vote. “That remains true today. I hold it for the next generation – for the next Virginian who will live in a better Commonwealth than the one we know today because of the work we do in this chamber. For the people who may never know our names, but whose lives will be shaped by the choices we make here. That is the responsibility of this House.”
This re-election comes before the General Assembly is about to start a new legislative session.
