comedian hannibal buress arrested in miami
Comedian Hannibal Buress was arrested in Miami over the weekend on a count of “disorderly intoxication” during an unclear interaction Buress had with police officers while in town for Art Basel (as captured on video below).
Initially asking the cop for an Uber (lol) is what ignited the arrest, according to TMZ. The cop’s refusal of the request, apparently, upset the comedian, according to speculation.
“The cop goes on to say Hannibal then went inside a bar, which the cop says he asked Hannibal to leave since he was too drunk. The two then made it outside, where the officer says Hannibal continued to hurl profanities at him and caused a crowd to form. The cop says he asked him to leave 5 times before cuffing him,” says TMZ.
At the time of the arrest police told Buress that he was being taken in for “trespassing”. To which Buress responded, “You know y’all goofy as fuck, right?” Wise words.
Was Buress doing too much? What do y’all think?
