Travis Scott was charged with alleged disorderly intoxication, which was dropped today, and trespassing.

Earlier this year, a minor disagreement on a Miami yacht landed Travis Scott in jail. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing. Luckily, the hitmaker was released within hours, and on a private jet back to LA. Today, it was reported that the state of Florida has decided to move forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against him. He'll go to trial next month. On the upside, they dropped the disorderly intoxication charge.

Now, however, police bodycam footage from his arrest has been obtained by TMZ. In it, he argues with officers as they repeatedly question why he returned to the yacht despite being told to leave. Scott tells them that when they initially asked if he'd left anything behind, he was freaked out by all of the cops. For this reason, he says he forgot some of his belongings on board. He got heated, and eventually, they put handcuffs on him.

Travis Scott Taken Into Custody Over Yacht Dispute

 

Footage from his initial encounter with police has also been uncovered. It shows Scott jumping off the yacht to chat with an officer. When asked what happened, he simply explained that he had rented the yacht, and its owner kicked down the door just before midnight claiming he had to leave. From there, he says he told the owner it was "disrespectful" to have entered the room like that, and added that the owner's wife was "trippin." At the beginning of this clip, he says that there was a lady with a firearm "threatening," though it's unclear whether or not the owner's wife was who he was referring to.

While this run-in surely put a damper on the performer's good time, he seemed to get over it pretty quickly. He even dropped merch featuring his mugshot the very next day.
