In the footage, the โ€œUTOPIAโ€ singer is seen walking off a yacht and arguing with several cops for a couple of minutes. He expressed being afraid because there were โ€œ50 of yaโ€™llโ€ surrounding him as he continued to speak with the officers.

At one point, when Scott attempts to walk away, the officers around him begin to rush him, throw his hands behind his back, and put him in a pair of handcuffs.

In June, local authorities claimed that the incident occurred the morning after Juneteenth when they were called about a disturbance occurring on a yacht at the Miami Beach marina. When they arrived at the scene, Scott was allegedly seen standing on the dock, screaming at the people on the yacht.

According to the Miami Beach Police Department, Scott was getting off a charter boat when the owner of the vessel requested him to leave. Officers allegedly detected a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.

When an officer allegedly told Scott to leave the dock, saying that heโ€™d be arrested if he didnโ€™t, the Houston MC left but continued to yell.

But just minutes later he returned and continued to argue with the people on the yacht. As a result, Scott was arrested at 1:44 a.m. and booked into jail at 4:35 a.m. He posted bonded nearly four hours later, $500 for trespassing and $150 for disorderly intoxication.
