American rapper, Rick Ross, has been arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of battery by strangulation and battery in an alleged domestic violence incident.
Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts, was arrested by Miami Beach police early Thursday and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Centre at 6:10am, according to Miami-Dade jail and court records.
The 50-year-old rapper faces one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor count of battery, with both charges classified as domestic violence, CBS News Miami reported.
According to an arrest affidavit cited by The U.S. Sun, a woman who had been in a relationship with Ross for about a year told police that the rapper became enraged after discovering she had been tagged in an Instagram photograph.
