Obviously the narrative is a bit murky – but we have video of Tinsley interacting with police at the scene and we have a better understanding of what may have happened here.
Witnesses say Boyd allegedly hit a Corvette with his Escalade… with both drivers pulling over to assess the damage. However, we’re told that when the other driver spied BT’s state of mind… they thought something was wrong and called the police for safety – you know the rest.
According to records obtained by TMZ … Boyd was booked around 9:30 p.m. and was released about an hour later after posting bail.
This fallout comes 4 months after Boyd was the target of a lawsuit related to allegations from a 2018 lawsuit in which former Crystal Garden bandmate James Frost-Winn claimed BT sexually harassed him. DMB announced that Boyd was no longer with the group amid the allegations.
Boyd denied the allegations in the 2018 lawsuit and said he planned to defend himself in court… but later reached an out-of-court settlement with James in June 2019. The drama resurfaced in February when Boyd was sued again for violating a mutual non-disparagement in the agreement regarding your social media activity.
We tried to contact Boyd… but had no luck.
