• Rapper Travis Scott was arrested by Miami Beach police on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and public intoxication.
• Scott posted his $650 bond, which means he will be released later Thursday, Miami-Dade County jail records show.
• Scott was previously embroiled in lawsuits concerning people who were killed or injured in a crowd crush at his 2021 Astroworld Festival in Houston. Attendees were packed so tightly that many couldn’t breathe or move their arms. The final lawsuit was settled last month.

Rapper Travis Scott was arrested by Miami Beach police early Thursday on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and public intoxication.

Miami Beach police confirmed the arrest, but did not immediately provide any details. Scott, 33, posted his $650 bond, which means he will be released later Thursday, Miami-Dade County jail records show.

His publicists, Jamie Sward and Alexandra Baker, did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment, and jail records don’t list an attorney for Scott. His agent, David Stromberg, didn’t immediately respond to a message sent to his LinkedIn account.

Scott, who is one of the biggest names in hip-hop and whose birth name is Jacques Webster, has more than 100 songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 and put out four singles that topped the chart: “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts,” and “Franchise.”

Ten people were killed in a crowd surge at Scott’s 2021 performance at his Astroworld Festival in Houston. Attendees were packed so tightly that many couldn’t breathe or move their arms. Those killed, who ranged in age from 9 to 27, died from compression asphyxia, which an expert likened to being crushed by a car.

Lawyers for the victims alleged in lawsuits that the deaths and hundreds of injuries at the concert were caused by negligent planning and a lack of concern over capacity and safety at the event.

Scott, promoter Live Nation, and the others who were sued have denied these claims, saying safety was their No. 1 concern. They said what happened could not have been foreseen.

The final lawsuit was settled last month.

After a police investigation, a grand jury declined to indict Scott, along with five others connected to the festival.

Marine biologists completely flipped the script on a prevailing theory about the series of shark attacks in Florida’s Panhandle that injured three people on June 7.

Many believed the sharks had been attracted to a large number of orcas that were spotted on June 4 about 75 miles south of the June 7 shark attacks. 

One bull shark was believed to have bitten three people over a 90-minute span along two beaches less than five miles apart, the sheriff’s office in Walton County, Florida, told USA Today. 

But marine biologist Jesús Erick Higuera-Rivas doesn’t think it was the same shark.

“That doesn’t make any sense,” Higuera-Rivas told Live Science.

Higuera-Rivas studies orca behavior at the Pelagic Protection and Conservation Civil Association in Mexico, including how they interact with other aquatic species. 

He told Live Science that the orcas had likely been in the region the entire time, but they were recently noticed because summer tourism brings an influx of people to the area.

The same thing could be said for what he believes are “unconnected attacks,” Live Science reported. 

Essentially, the more beach activity along the shores where bull sharks typically feed, the higher the likelihood of a shark bite, according to Higuera-Rivas. 

His thinking was backed by Gavin Naylor, a shark expert from the University of Florida, who told Live Science that Florida’s hot, dry weather is likely a major factor.

Naylor, who is the shark research director at the University of Florida, said that orca and shark confrontations typically happen far offshore, giving sharks a chance to hide or escape. 

Bull sharks were likely chasing bait fish that swam closer to the shores than usual because of the heat, which impacts the freshwater output from the estuaries.

“When there’s less estuarine output, then the saltwater can come closer to the shore than it would normally do, and that brings with it the plankton, and the bait fish that eat them,” Naylor told Live Science. 

And those little bait fish attract aggressive bull sharks that bit a teenage girl’s hand off, caused severe trauma to a woman’s midsection and gave another teenager a flesh wound last Friday.

All three victims survived, but the teenager lost her left hand, and doctors amputated her right leg. The 45-year-old woman’s arm needed to be amputated as well.

They were bitten by a shark, or sharks, along a four-mile stretch of beaches in Walton County, Florida, over 90 minutes starting around 1:20 p.m. on June 7.

“The View” co-hosts criticized a new Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in classrooms across the state and took aim at Christians supporting former President Trump. 

“They want to post this in schools, I say post it at Mar-a-Lago and put a picture of Stormy Daniels right next to it,” co-host Joy Behar said. “He [Trump] has broken 11 commandments, and there’s a wait list. I mean, this guy has gone above and beyond and yet these so-called Christians are going to vote for him.”

Under the legislation, H.B. 71, a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” is required in all public classrooms, from kindergartens to state-funded universities.

“This bothers me to no end, because I grew up, and you were allowed to believe how you believed. It wasn’t really stuff you discussed with other people. You had your beliefs, you had your religious thing, and if you weren’t religious, nobody knew,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “I don’t understand why you’re telling me you’re concerned about children learning things. One of the things that you don’t seem to understand is, I have the same respect for my child that I have for yours. I’m not asking you to believe what I believe. I’m not asking your kid to believe what I believe. Public school is public school.”

“If you want your child to have a religious education, send them to a religious school. There’s nothing stopping you. Get out of my pocket, get out of my body and get out of my school,” Goldberg added, clarifying that she had no issues with religion. 

She said Louisiana was playing a “very dangerous game.” 

Co-host Sunny Hostin warned that Gov. Jeff Landry was hoping the Supreme Court would side with him and overturn previous rulings on similar laws it found unconstitutional. The Republican said he “can’t wait to be sued.”

“I think what he is banking on is this reactive, very partisan Supreme Court will overturn precedent and say, now, this is okay. And we should be very afraid of that because we’re now in upside-down world where you have a precedent from this century saying you cannot do that anywhere,” Hostin said.

Hostin warned that everyone should be “scared.”

Co-host Sara Haines also said the law was concerning.

“This would be concerning because, unlike abortion, which was decided as a right to privacy and became a precedent over time, this is literally the establishment cause of the First Amendment, it is why this country was born, to allow for that religious freedom,” she said. “This would be concerning for me.”
