Travis Scott was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing early Thursday morning in the Miami area.
The rapper, born Jacques Webster, was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 4:35 a.m. Thursday on the charges of trespassing after a warning and disorderly intoxication, according to the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Scott’s bail was set at a combined $650, and he was apparently released hours after his intake, as he tweeted simply at 8:45 a.m. EST, “Lol.”
While no other details about the arrest were released at press time, Fox 7 News in Miami reporter Sheldon Fox reported that Scott was on a chartered boat in the Miami Harbor at the time of his arrest.
Miami Beach Police told Fox that Scott “was drunk, causing a disturbance and asked to leave multiple times,” and when Scott refused, he was arrested on the two charges.
Reps for Scott did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment. Sources familiar with the situation told Rolling Stone that there was no physical altercation involved in the incident, and the matter was closed after Scott posted bail, since it was “a minor incidentakin to receiving a ticketwith no injuries.”
Scott’s arrest comes a month after the family of Ezra Blount, thenine-year-old killedin thecrowd crush at Travis Scott’s Astroworldfestival, settled the last outstanding wrongful death lawsuit tied to the 2021 tragedy; Scott was not criminally charged for the Houston crowd crush that killed 10 people and injured hundreds more.
