Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Wednesday night in Palm Beach County, Florida, for failure to appear in court after a traffic violation, authorities said.
The “Gooba” rapper — born Daniel Hernandez — was taken into custody around 9 p.m. local time by police. According to public West Palm Beach County records, he was released on a bond of $2,000 just after midnight Thursday.
According to a statement from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, deputies “observed a vehicle commit a moving traffic infraction. They also observed that the vehicle did not have a license tag.” Police then stopped Hernandez and found that he also had a “suspended driver’s license and active traffic warrant in [WPBC] for [failure to appear].”
“He was subsequently arrested and transported to the PBC jail with no additional charges,” the statement continued. “Traffic citations were issued for today’s violations.”
