The arrest was recorded in Miami-Dade jail and court records. Rapper Rick Ross was arrested in Miami Beach on Thursday morning over domestic violence charges, including a felony charge of battery by strangulation.
CBS News Miami said it had requested Ross’s arrest report from the Miami Beach Police Department and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. Details about the incident that led to Ross’s arrest remain unclear. Authorities had not immediately disclosed when or where the alleged incident took place or what relationship Ross had with the alleged victim. The report could provide further details about the allegations.
The rapper’s bond has been set at a total of $6,000. Court records list a $5,000 bond for the felony battery by strangulation charge and a $1,000 bond for the misdemeanor battery charge. Ross’s arraignment is scheduled for October 22.
Both charges are listed as involving domestic violence, according to jail and court records cited by CBS News . Ross faces two charges in the case. These include one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor count of battery. The arraignment is a court hearing at which the charges against a defendant are formally addressed. The date is listed in court records. The case remains at the allegation stage. Ross’s lawyer has denied the claims, and the scheduled court proceedings will address the charges against him. The arrest and charges alone do not establish guilt.
