RICK ROSS Arrested in Miami on Domestic Violence Charges — Pleads Not Guilty
Rick Ross Arrested For Battery In Miami, Released On $5,000 Bail
American rapper Rick Ross, real name William Leonard Roberts II, was arrested early Thursday morning, October 1st, in Miami on domestic violence-related charges.
According to Miami-Dade County jail records and reports by USA TODAY and CNN, the 50-year-old "Hustlin'" rapper was booked around 6:10 AM at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on one count of felony battery by strangulation and one count of misdemeanor battery.
The arrest comes days after his ex-girlfriend, Miami-based model and content creator Jazzma Kendrick, accused him on Instagram of physically assaulting her. Kendrick posted photos on September 26 showing an injured lip, writing "the day Rick busted my lip and the day I left." She reported the alleged August 28 incident to Miami Beach Police on September 29.
At a bond hearing on Thursday, Judge Mindy Glazer set bail at $5,000 and issued a stay-away order barring Ross from contacting Kendrick directly or through social media. His arraignment is scheduled for October 22.
Ross has pleaded not guilty. In a statement through his attorney Steve Sadow, he said: "William Roberts II is being wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend whose true motivations are unclear. Mr. Roberts is innocent."
The rapper has since been released from custody. The case is still ongoing.
