"Benzino"
Scott, co-owner of The Source, has pleaded innocent to
to 9 charges levied against him by the Miami Beach Police
Department. Benzino was arrested after officers allegedly
caught him speeding.
Benzino will
be arraigned October 1st, before Circuit Judge Gill Freeman.
As we reported after The Source Awards, Benzino was arrested
after he and passenger Curtis Williams were arrested.
Scott allegedly got into an altercation with a motorcycle
officer and assaulted the officer. Benzino has publicly
denied the charges and instead claims that the police
officers were engaging in what is known as "profiling,"
and pulled him over simply because he is a black male
and was driving a Ferrari.
Scott faces
four felonies, including battery on a police officer,
and five misdemeanors, including reckless driving for
allegedly weaving in and out of traffic while going 64
mph in a 30 mph zone.
