Rapper iHeartMemphis arrested for burglary after fleeing from cops in Florida

Rapper iHeartMemphis has been arrested again, this time facing multiple charges including burglary and fleeing from police.

.....

The rapper, whose real name is Richard Maurice Colbert, was taken into custody on February 18, just days after being released over a separate incident involving alleged threats and obstruction of police.

According to reports, officers responded to his neighbourhood in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was accused of blocking a roadway using traffic cones, foliage, and cinder blocks. When asked to remove the obstructions, police say he refused and attempted to flee.

Authorities allege Colbert ran from officers, jumping fences, entering backyards, and attempting to access several homes before he was eventually tracked down and detained at a nearby residence. He was later taken to a hospital for treatment of a leg injury before being booked.

He has been charged with three felony counts of burglary, along with misdemeanour offences for obstructing a public roadway and resisting officers without violence. An additional charge relates to earlier alleged written threats to k!ll.

Colbert has pleaded not guilty to all charges and requested a trial. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on April 14.
