R&B singer Jacquees, whose legal name is Rodriguez Jacquees Broadnax, was arrested Sunday night in Broward County, Florida, and booked into the Broward County Jail on three charges: driving under the influence, resisting an officer without violence, and battery on an officer, firefighter, or EMT, according to jail records and NBC6 Miami. He was expected to appear in bond court Monday. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Jacquees, the Georgia-born singer behind “B.E.D.” and “You,” spent Sunday night in a Florida jail cell, and the details of how he got there are still thin.
What We Know About the Arrest
According to Broward County jail records, the 31-year-old artist was booked on three charges:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Resisting an officer without violence
- Battery on an officer, firefighter, or EMT
Jacquees was being held at the Broward County Jail and had not been granted bond as of the latest reports. He was expected to have a bond hearing Monday. His legal representatives have not publicly commented on the charges.
Authorities have not yet released details about the circumstances of the arrest, including where it happened, what led to the stop, or what occurred between Jacquees and the officer, firefighter, or EMT named in the battery charge. Local outlets are monitoring the case for updates.
Prior Legal History
This is not Jacquees’ first run-in with the law. In 2018, he was arrested twice: once in Miami, following a traffic stop, and once in Atlanta, after he was reportedly caught driving 116 mph.
In 2023, he was accused of choking a woman and biting her hand during an alleged altercation near the Mall of Georgia. He was charged with simple battery and obstruction and later secured bond. The reporting available does not detail how that case was resolved.
What Happens Next
Everything hinges on Jacquees’ court appearance. His bond hearing will determine whether he’s released while the case moves forward, and it may also bring the first official account of what happened Sunday night.
