Travis Scott arrested for 'causing a disturbance while drunk and trespassing'
Rapper Travis Scott has been arrested for "disorderly intoxication and trespassing", police in the US have said.
Scott, who has two children with Kylie Jenner, was arrested for causing a "disturbance" on a charter boat at the Miami Beach Marina, where he "was drunk, and asked to leave multiple times", the Miami Beach Police Department said.
Officers were called to the marina at 12.44 am on Thursday morning to reports of a disturbance, according to official records.
The 10-time Grammy Award nominee was reportedly getting off a charter boat when the owner of the boat asked him to leave, 7News Miami said on its website.
The force said officers found Scott, arguably one of the biggest hip-hop acts in the world, "standing by the dock yelling at the vessel occupants", and while he complied with their instructions to begin with, he then ignored them, NBC, Sky's US partner, said.
Officers could sense "a strong smell of alcohol coming from the defendant's breath", records showed.
Though he agreed to leave the dock after being threatened with arrest, he did not go quietly.
As he walked to the boardwalk, Scott "walked backwards yelling obscenities to the occupants of the vessel", police said.
He left the marina, but returned five minutes later and was seen by officers walking back toward the vessel.
Scott spoke to a sergeant he had spoken to earlier and began yelling once again - "becoming erratic" and "disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing a public disturbance", court documents said.
The 33-year-old musician was arrested at 1.17am and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 4.35 am on a charge of alleged disorderly intoxication as well as trespassing property after warning.
He submitted a $650 (£512) bond - $500 (£394) for the trespass charge and $150 (£118) for disorderly intoxication, the Daily Mail said.

Scott, real name Jacques Bermon Webster II, has achieved four number-one hits on the US charts and is known for his energetic live shows and successful albums, including Astroworld.
He has two children with the socialite and media personality, Kylie Jenner, but the pair are no longer together.
His European tour, titled Circus Maximus, is due to start in The Netherlands next Friday and he is scheduled to play Manchester's Co-Op Live venue on 13 July.
In 2021, 10 fans died in a crowd surge at his Astroworld festival in Houston, Texas, where he was born.
He did not face criminal charges over their deaths but remains involved in civil cases alleging that organisers were at fault.
Last year he scored his first UK number one album with Utopia, which has been streamed more than 50 billion times globally, NME said.
