Rick Ross Arrested

What happened

Rick Ross was arrested in Miami Beach on Thursday on domestic-violence-related charges. He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on one felony battery-by-strangulation count and one misdemeanor battery count. The case stems from an alleged Aug. 28 incident at Ross’s Star Island home involving a woman police described as his girlfriend and housemate. Police said the woman described being slapped, grabbed by her hoodie and ponytail, slammed into a wall, and left with injuries. Ross’s attorneys said he is wrongfully accused, pleaded not guilty, and noted she waited a month to file a police report. His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 22.
