Her Milkshake Brings All the Cops to the (Jail)Yard

Singer Kelis was arrested early Friday morning in Miami Beach after screaming racial obscenities at two female police officers who were posing as prostitutes. Damn. She's bossy!

The officers were working an undercover operation in South Beach, when cops say Kelis started screaming racial slurs at the women. She continued screaming and rushed toward them, and had to be restrained by friends, a police report said. According to the report, Kelis' "actions caused people walking by to stop and form a crowd. The sidewalk was blocked by the disturbance, causing people to walk in the street and causing traffic to stop."

Kelis, the wife of rapper Nas, was charged with two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and for resisting arrest.

A rep for Kelis had no comment.

When I first read the headline "Kelis arrested" I thought it had been for her horrible hairstyle or lack of talent...

I understand that she did NOT know that they were cops and considered them to be real prostitutes.

But this even makes the incident more bizarre:

1. Why does she go to an area where prostitution happens?
2. Why does she start confronting them and simply walk away to a more "celebrity-appropriate" enviroment?

Kelis Arrested Outside Miami Club

Singer Accused Of Harassing Undercover Cops Posing As Hookers

(AP) Kelis was charged early Friday with trying to disrupt an undercover police operation by screaming racial profanities and rushing toward two female officers posing as prostitutes, authorities said.

Kelis Rogers-Jones, 27, was detained at 4:30 a.m. and charged with the two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence, a Miami Beach police arrest report said.

The singer was released on $1,500 bond hours later, Miami-Dade County jail spokeswoman Janelle Hall said.

Kelis' publicist, Tracy Nguyen, wouldn't comment on the arrest, and it wasn't immediately clear if the singer had a lawyer.

The arrest report said the officers were posing as prostitutes along a main avenue in the South Beach nightclub district when Kelis started screaming racial profanities at them. She then rushed toward them and had to be restrained by her friends, the report said.

Kelis calmed down for a few seconds, but then started shouting at the officers and charged them again, the report said. She resisted arrest while being handcuffed.

who cares...
she is...well....i have no opinion on her...

novella · 02-03-2007

I'm not sure what to say about this...

Ungaro Kitty · 02-03-2007

She wasn't charged with a hate crime?

VainJane · 02-03-2007

Makes sense....Rushing up to someone and screaming at them could be considered assault, even if she didn't touch them. If she did what the article described then her actions could make someone fear for their life and thus she can be arrested.

Considering that the article said the fake hookers were just standing there, I gotta wonder if Kelis does this kind of thing often

Either way, she sounds like she's got issues.

Agreed but I also suspect she -might have- consumed -certain substances- in that Club that bring out bad behaviour...

What is the race of the cops?

She's a bit mad.

That haircolour is no good on her.

Retro · 02-03-2007

The cops must be white, that's why the article doesn't make mention of the cops' races.

Diorling · 02-03-2007

Maybe she was afraid of losing business?

Her milkshake dont bring the boys to the yard anymore. That song was the hottest...in 2003

That's what I think too... As a woman of color, she should really think twice about so hypocritical and firing racial slurs at someone else.
