Miami Beach police arrested rapper Rick Ross on Friday morning, according to CBS News. The 50-year-old musician faces one felony charge of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor charge of battery, both classified as domestic violence offenses. Ross was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 6:10 a.m. and has retained attorney Bradley Horenstein.
His arraignment is set for October 22, with a $5,000 bond for the felony charge and a $1,000 bond for the misdemeanor. The alleged victim remains unnamed, and details surrounding the incident are not publicly available. This follows accusations from Ross's former girlfriend, model Jazzma Kendrick, who alleged physical abuse in an Instagram post last weekend.
Kendrick stated she had been a "punching bag" for Ross and shared images of a bruised and busted lip. In a follow-up post, she emphasized her well-being, noting that she has time to process the incident and start healing.
