This exclusive body cam footage shows the chaotic scene amidst which R&B singer Jacquees -- real name Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax -- was arrested on March 23, 2018 in Miami Beach, Florida. Brief side note: if you haven't heard of Jacquees, rest assured that a few other people have. His hit song "At The Club" has a solid 110 million views on YouTube, and B.E.D. isn't far behind at 93 million. Also of note, the title sequence incorrectly identifies Broadnax as a rapper. Explanation of why it wasn't fixed is in a public post on Patreon.
Back to business: the 23-year-old singer was taken into custody in the area of Ocean Drive and 8th Street on charges of failure to obey a police officer and disorderly conduct / breach of the peace.
According to the arrest report, the singer was spotted by an officer driving a black Lamborghini without wearing a seatbelt. When the officer ordered him to pull over, Jacquees... well... didn't.
“The defendant did not obey my command and instead kept driving the vehicle at a low rate of speed with heavy traffic still northbound on Ocean Drive,” the officer wrote. Broadnax then asked why he was being pulled over and the officer informed him about the seat belt infraction.
“He was then asked again to pull over and to provide me with his driver’s license,” the officer wrote. “The defendant once again refused to obey a lawful command from this officer.”
Ultimately, the artist stopped his [rented] Lambo and “abruptly opened the door and exited." At that point the officer told Broadnax to move to the sidewalk, “but he refused to comply." Instead he gave the officer a taste of his own medicine by commanding the officer to not touch him.
Thing is, that doesn't work.
As can be seen in the video, "a large crowd, including the defendant’s friends and pedestrians” gathered around and “additional officers had to be requested in emergency mode due to the large crowd gathering and the defendant still not complying." Broadnax was taken into custody.
The report continued, “It should be noted that the defendant’s actions disrupted the peace and quiet and public morals of bystanders on a busy spring break day on ocean drive in Miami Beach." [Another side note: Morals and spring break in Miami? I thought the whole point was... never mind.]
After all of that craziness, ultimately only one of the seven arresting officers showed up in court for a scheduled hearing, prompting prosecutors to drop all charges against the singer.
