Travis Scott has dodged one of two charges after being arrested in June in Miami Beach, Florida, for disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after yelling at people on a yacht.
The 33-year-old rapper — born Jacques Bermon Webster — didn’t appear in court on Thursday, but his attorney was on hand when prosecutors officially dropped the disorderly intoxication charge against Webster, TMZ reported.
However, it’s not all good news for Scott because the prosecution is still looking to charge the rapper with a misdemeanor trespassing charge, the outlet noted.
On June 20, Scott was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in the early morning hours with his bonds set at $500 and $150, before he was released, as previously reported.
Police said when they arrived at Miami Beach marina, officers saw Scott yelling at occupants of a vessel and that they smelled a strong scent of “alcohol coming from the defendant’s breath,” NBC News noted.

At first, Scott complied with officers when they instructed him to sit down, but then he got up and continued. Police then instructed him to leave the area or risk being arrested. He left, but while walking away, he yelled “obscenities to the occupants of the vessel,” a Miami Beach Police arrest affidavit read.
However, a short time later, he returned to the marina and headed back to the yacht, before officers caught up with him.
Scott is reported as speaking to one sergeant and “becoming erratic” and “disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing public disturbance,” the arrest affidavit added, before he was taken into custody.

“Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,” his legal rep Bradford Cohen told NBC News. “There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”
Later, Scott took to X and wrote about his arrest, noting his European tour was still on. The rapper also posted on his Instagram story about the arrest, including a picture of his mugshot and a second post using his mugshot, but edited to include him wearing headphones and sunglasses.
Scott shares two children with “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner: Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2. The two are no longer together.
The rapper’s trial for the misdemeanor trespassing charge is set now for September.
