Rich the Kidwas arrested early on Monday morning in Miami.
PEOPLE has confirmed that the rapper (whose real name is Dimitri Roger), 31, was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida for allegedly resisting an officer without violence and for trespassing on property after receiving a warning.
According to a Miami-Dade Police Department arrest report, multiple officers were on the scene due to a bomb threat where a perimeter was taped off and Roger “approached the tape and stated he needed to get to his hotel.”
An officer then advised him not to cross the tape because of an ongoing investigation and doing so would result in his arrest.
Roger reportedly told the police, “I’ll bond out in 20 minutes,” and walked away.
The affidavit claims that the “Plug Walk” musician went under police tape while he was told he couldn’t do so, walking away from officers and then “went to the rear of the property” where security staff also said he couldn’t be there.
Roger then allegedly told security to “stop him” and “jumped the fence onto the property,” where he entered the hotel building during a K-9 unit sweep.
The police claim the artist was ordered to leave, but he continued to “linger.”
He was then taken into custody without incident and transported to the Miami Beach Police Department for processing.
