What We Know About Travis Scott's Juneteenth Arrest in Miami
Someone enjoyed their Juneteenth night a little too much — all that raging that Travis Scott raps about in his music may have finally gotten him in trouble.
On Thursday, the “UTOPIA” rapper was arrested and booked into a Miami jail on charges of trespassing property after being given a warning and disorderly intoxication according to the Miami Beach Police Department.
Local authorities are claiming that the incident occurred early Thursday morning after they were called about a disturbance, claiming that people were fighting on a yacht at the Miami Beach marina. When they arrived at the scene, Scott was allegedly seen standing on the dock, screaming at the people on the yacht.
More from WSVN:
Scott was reportedly getting off a charter boat when the owner of the boat, who did not want to press any charges, requested him to leave. Officers noted that Scott initially complied by sitting down but repeatedly stood up, disregarding their commands. Authorities said officers detected a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.
An officer told Scott to leave the dock, warning arrest if he returned. Scott left the property but continued to yell. About five minutes later, Scott ignored the demands of the police officers and caused further disturbances.
Allegedly, Scott left and then came back again to continue yelling and screaming at the people on the yacht, according to WSVN.
As a result, Scott was arrested at 1:44 a.m. and booked into jail at 4:35 a.m. He posted bonded nearly four hours later, $500 for trespassing and $150 for disorderly intoxication.
Although he had a long night, the Houston rapper seems to be unbothered by the arrest. Shortly after being released from jail, Scott tweeted, “Lol” from his X account.
The “UTOPIA” artist also took to Instagram, to show again that the whole ordeal was not a big deal to him.
