WEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - South Florida rapper and radio personality Trick Daddy has bonded out of jail, hours after, according to The Miami Herald, he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and cocaine possession.
According to the arrest report, the Herald reported, a Miami-Dade Police officer responded to a report of a driver in a dark colored Range Rover hitting stop signs and running red lights near Southwest 128th Avenue and 42nd Street in Southwest Miami-Dade, at around 3:20 a.m., Saturday.
The report goes on to state, according to the Herald, that when the officer approached the driver’s side of the SUV, the driver appeared to be asleep, and after waking up, he admitted to having about five drinks at a club hours earlier.
The Herald reported the driver could not successfully complete a field sobriety test, and that after being taken to a police station, police found cocaine inside a dollar bill while the rapper was putting his belongings in a plastic bag.
Trick Daddy, born Maurice Samuel Young in Liberty City, is well-known for his music, but he recently took his talents from the studio to the kitchen, opening Sunday’s Eatery in Miami Gardens in September 2019.
The soul food spot’s general manager, Sharrod Robinson, told 7News described the 45-year-old as a nice person who was responsible for employing everyone at the restaurant.
“Well, Trick is my brother, my partner, and we here fully support him,” said Robinson. “We’re here at the restaurant, where he’s staffed over 20 people, and we’re rooting for him, we’re praying for him, and everything will be all right.”
The rapper and entrepreneur also hosts 99 JAMZ’s “The Trick N’ Trina Morning Show.”
Trick Daddy was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at around 7:30 a.m., the Herald reported. He is being charged with cocaine possession. That DUI charge was for an outstanding warrant.
Saturday afternoon, he posted a Facebook Live video revealing he had bonded out. The video shows him at what appears to be a video shoot.
