Judge Says She Has ‘No Idea’ Who Rick Ross Is When Lawyer Asks for Expedited Release After His Arrest
Rozay was booked in Miami Beach on Oct. 1 and has been released from custody.
On October 1, rapper Rick Ross, whose real name is William Roberts, was arrested in Miami Beach and charged with domestic battery. During a remote arraignment, Ross' attorney, Bradley Horenstein, requested an expedited release for his client due to his celebrity status. When Judge Mindy Glazer was asked who Ross was, she admitted to having no prior knowledge of him but assured that he would be treated fairly during the legal process.
Horenstein then requested an expedited release, pointing out that Ross was dressed in a red jumpsuit. Judge Glazer responded by acknowledging Ross as a person to be treated equally under the law. The case has sparked a mix of reactions, with Ross' rival 50 Cent joking about the judge's lack of familiarity with the rapper and Ross' attorneys denying the allegations, stating that his ex-girlfriend filed the complaint months after the incident in question. Ross has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has posted bond, being released from custody.
