Travis Scott could have avoided his arrest in Miami last week if he hadn’t left some things behind on the yacht where the incident took place… TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … the rapper had been kicked off the yacht when he told his driver to return to the marina last Thursday morning.
We’re told Travis realized he had left his bag and phone on the yacht and turned around to retrieve the items.
Our sources say that when Travis returned to the dock, he asked for a police escort to get his things off the boat.
Remember, he already had a heated argument on the yacht, so we’re told he was trying to avoid further conflict – but his request to the cops increased the tension, because the sergeant had already warned him to stay away when he had initially left.
The decision to return led Travis to arrest for disorderly intoxication and trespassing.
A Miami Beach Police spokesperson told TMZ that they will respect the judicial process and allow it to take its course accordingly.
Remember, the whole ordeal started when Travis got into an argument with one of the yacht’s owners. According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, officers say he was shouting obscenities at people on board as they began to escort him off the boat.
When he returned, they decided to handcuff him and take him to the police station to be marked.
Travis quickly posted bail and was released – and his staff downplayed the incident as a “minor charge.”
TS clearly wasn’t worried about the arrest – posting memes of his photo beforehand quickly returning to Los Angeles.
