Miami Beach, Florida – Rapper Travis Scott was taken into custody early Thursday on charges of disorderly intoxication after an incident on a yacht in Miami Beach. The 33-year-old musician, known for hits like “goosebumps”, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center around 4:30 a.m. The charges included disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after warning.
According to a Miami Beach Police arrest affidavit, authorities responded to a call at the Miami Beach Marina reporting a disturbance on a yacht where Scott was allegedly yelling at individuals on board. Upon arrival, officers found Scott standing by the dock, yelling at the occupants of the vessel. Despite initially cooperating with police, Scott later disobeyed their commands. The complainant expressed a desire for Scott to leave the vessel, prompting his arrest.
Officers noted the strong smell of alcohol coming from Scott’s breath during the encounter. He eventually agreed to leave the dock after facing the threat of arrest, although he continued to exhibit disruptive behavior. Scott left the marina but returned shortly after, prompting further engagement with law enforcement. The rapper was taken into custody at 1:17 a.m.
A representative for Scott mentioned that no physical altercations took place and attributed the incident to a rowdy party atmosphere. Scott posted bail of $650 and was released from jail the same morning. Following his release, Scott shared a modified version of his mugshot on his social media platform.
Scott, who shares two children with Kylie Jenner, is set to embark on a European tour called Circus Maximus, beginning in The Netherlands the following week. The circumstances surrounding his arrest raise questions about the impact on his upcoming performances and public image.
