Rapper Trick Daddy arrested at Miami strip club
MIAMI (AP) -- Rapper Trick Daddy was arrested after a fight at a strip club early Tuesday, authorities said.
The rapper, whose real name is Maurice Young, was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest, according to the police report.
Authorities responded to a fight at Tootsie's Cabaret just after 1 a.m. and found Young, who smelled of alcohol, cursing and "threatening staff at the club," the report said. Police repeatedly asked Young to leave the club, but he refused.
When they tried to handcuff him, he also refused and started moving his arms around, according to the report.
He was taken to a hospital where he was treated for injuries from the fight and later transported to Miami-Dade County jail. The rapper's mug shot shows a bloody nose and cheek.
He bonded out for $1,500, a jail spokeswoman said.
It was not immediately known if Young had legal representation. His label, Slip-N-Slide Records, declined comment.
A Miami native, Trick Daddy's albums include "Thug Matrimony:Married to the Streets" and "Back by Thug Demand."
