Rick Ross was released on bond from a Miami-Dade jail on Thursday after surrendering to Miami Beach police over an alleged domestic incident at his Star Island home. The 50-year-old rapper, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II, faces one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanour count of battery, both listed as involving domestic violence.
Ross was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 6.10am on 1 October. His lawyer, Bradley Horenstein, has denied the allegations, saying that they are false. The woman told investigators the alleged incident took place on 28 August, according to the arrest affidavit, and it was reported to police on 29 September.
