Travis Scott has been arrested in Miami on suspicion of disorderly intoxication and trespassing over an argument on a boat.<\/p>\n
The American rapper was detained by police at Miami Beach Marina at around 01:45 local time on Thursday, according to official records.<\/p>\n
An arrest report from Miami Beach Police Department seen by BBC Newsbeat says officers were called to reports of people fighting on a yacht.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old was detained under his real name, Jacques Bermon Webster, according to the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department’s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Police were called to reports of a disturbance on a yacht and saw Travis Scott shouting at people on the vessel.<\/p>\n
Officers say they spoke to the rapper and could “sense a strong smell of alcohol” on his breath.<\/p>\n
According to the report they told him to leave the dock, which he did, but he “walked backwards, yelling obscenities to the occupants of the vessel”. <\/p>\n
Scott then left the area, but was seen by officers five minutes later returning and attempting to head back to the yacht, according to the report.<\/p>\n
When challenged he “disregarded officers’ commands” and became “erratic”, shouting and disturbing local residents, according to police.<\/p>\n
Following his arrest, the report says the defendant later admitted that he had been drinking alcohol, stating: “It’s Miami.”<\/p>\n
“Mr Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,” his legal representative Bradford Cohen said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
