Rapper Rich the Kid was arrested on December 11 in Miami Beach after he was accused of trespassing on a property labeled by the police in "do not cross" tape. The 31-year-old rapper was then taken into custody during a police investigation at 17th Street and Collins Avenue.
The police had cordoned an area off the block with the "do not cross" tape after bomb threats at the SLS Hotel in South Beach, where the rapper was also allegedly staying.
When the rapper got to the area, he approached a stationed officer and informed them that he needed to get to his hotel. When the officer told him that he would be arrested upon crossing the tape, Dimitri Roger or Rich the Kid reportedly stated:
"I'll bond out in 20 minutes."
He then walked to the southeast corner of 17th Street and Collins Avenue and crossed the tape after walking away from the officers who told him not to. Rich the Kid then approached the building's rear, where he was confronted by the security staff, who informed him that the property was closed and nobody was allowed instead.
The rapper then allegedly said, "Stop me," hopped over the fence onto the property, and entered a building going through an active K9 sweep. According to the police, the rapper went to the driveway and hung around, where he was taken into custody.
