Rick Ross is in police custody in Miami-Dade County after being arrested on battery charges. The rapper was arrested Thursday morning on charges of felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery. He is currently behind bars at the Miami-Dade County jail and posed for a booking photo.
The Rick Ross arrested news comes with limited details about what led to the arrest. He is being held on a $5,000 bond for the battery by strangulation charge and a $1,000 bond for the battery charge. Online records indicate both charges are related to domestic violence. Last week, his ex-girlfriend posted photos showing alleged injuries she says she suffered at his hands, though it is unclear whether that incident is connected to this arrest.
Ross is scheduled to be arraigned on October 22. Representatives for the rapper and the Miami Beach Police Department have not commented. The case remains under investigation.
