Rapper Travis Scott, 33, was arrested and booked for disorderly intoxication and trespassing after causing a drunken disturbance on a Miami Beach yacht. The incident occurred early Thursday morning, and the “Sicko Mode” rapper was taken into custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Incident Details
According to the affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com, Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was arrested at the Miami Beach Marina around 1:17 am. He was involved in a disturbance on a yacht that escalated into a fight. Police officers who arrived at the scene found Scott standing by the dock, yelling at the vessel’s occupants.
Police Interaction
Attempts to defuse the situation by asking Scott to sit down were unsuccessful, as he repeatedly ignored police orders and continued to stand up. Officers noted a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Sergeant Lemus warned Scott to leave the dock or face arrest. Despite this, Scott continued to yell obscenities and disturb the peace.
Arrest and Booking
Scott eventually left but returned five minutes later, causing further chaos. His behavior disturbed the marina occupants and nearby residents, leading to his arrest. He was taken to the Miami-Dade corrections facility and booked for two misdemeanors around 4:35 am. When questioned, Scott admitted to drinking, saying, “it’s Miami.”
Bail and Aftermath
Scott submitted a $650 bond, covering $500 for the trespassing charge and $150 for disorderly intoxication. A source familiar with the situation described the incident as non-physical and akin to receiving a ticket, with no injuries reported. Scott was quickly bailed out and is already home.
