🚨 Rick Ross Reportedly Arrested in Miami Beach on Domestic Violence Charges
MIAMI BEACH — Rapper Rick Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts, has reportedly been arrested in Miami Beach on allegations related to domestic violence.
According to the information provided, the 50-year-old rapper was booked into Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early Thursday morning. He reportedly faces one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor battery charge, with both charges classified as domestic violence offenses.
Court information reportedly lists his total bond at $6,000. Ross has retained private attorney Bradley Horenstein, according to the reported court records.
An arraignment is scheduled for October 22.
The allegations come after Ross’s former girlfriend, Jazzma Kendrick, previously claimed that the rapper had put his hands on her. The reported arrest appears to bring renewed attention to those allegations.
It is important to note that these are allegations only. An arrest or criminal charge does not establish guilt, and Ross is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty in court.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding the reported arrest and the allegations may emerge as the legal proceedings continue.
