Friday, October 2, 2026 - Rick Ross was arrested on domestic violence charges in Miami-Dade on Thursday, October 1.
Ross, 50, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts, was
booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 6:10 a.m. on
charges of battery and battery by strangulation, records show. Both charges are
listed as involving domestic violence.
He was arrested by Miami Beach Police.
The arrest comes days after his ex-girlfriend Jazzma
Kendrick took to Instagram to publicly accuse him of physically abusing her.
Last weekend, Kendrick posted an Instagram Story, sharing a
DM from a fan who told her, “I’m seeing what Rick is seeing your (sic) so
gorgeous.”
Kendrick responded, “He saw a punching bag.” She also shared
photos showing an injured and swollen lip.
It’s unclear whether Ross’ arrest stems from the accusations
made by Kendrick or from another lady.
Per TMZ, citing sources, the woman told police that Ross
questioned her about lying to him and then slapped her in the face. He later
accused her of being involved in a relationship, she said, and “every time she
denied it, he struck her.”
The woman gave police photos of her alleged injuries, per
the report.
Bond was set at $5,000 on the battery by strangulation
charge and $1,000 on the battery charge, for a total of $6,000.
