R&B singer Jacquees was arrested Sunday night in Broward County, Florida, and booked into the Broward County Main Jail on charges of DUI, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer without violence, according to jail records reported by NBC 6 South Florida.
The 31-year-old artist, whose legal name is Rodriguez Jacquees Broadnax, faces those three counts after the Sunday night arrest. NBC 6 reported he was expected to appear in bond court later Monday. Full details on what led to the stop and the alleged interactions with officers have not been released. Authorities and local coverage describe it as a developing story.
Jail records list the charges as DUI, resisting an officer without violence, and battery on an officer, firefighter or EMT. Early reports circulating from the booking information indicated a $0 bond listing with no immediate release date shown at the time. Hollywood, Florida, in Broward County, has been cited as the area of the arrest in multiple accounts matching the jail data.
NBC 6 noted it is seeking additional information on the circumstances. No police narrative, arrest affidavit details, blood-alcohol results, or description of the alleged resistance and battery has been made public yet. An arrest is not a conviction. The allegations remain unproven.
Social media accounts, including one popular rap and culture outlet, shared the booking information and graphics. Those posts generally tracked the core jail-record facts while noting that incident specifics were not yet public.
Jacquees rose with smooth R&B hits including the 2016 track “B.E.D.” and 2018’s “You.” He has placed multiple songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and is from Georgia. The singer has maintained an active career with releases, collaborations, and performances.
This is not Jacquees’ first brush with Florida police. In 2018, Miami Beach officers arrested him after a traffic stop involving a Lamborghini and no seat belt; charges of failure to obey an officer and disorderly conduct were later dropped after officers did not fully appear in court. Separate 2018 Atlanta-area cases involved speeding and related traffic and drug-possession allegations. In 2023, he was arrested in Gwinnett County, Georgia, on simple battery and obstruction charges stemming from an alleged bar altercation; he was released on bond.
Those earlier matters are separate from the current Broward County case.
Police have not released a detailed account of the traffic stop, any signs of impairment, or how the alleged battery and resistance occurred. No public statement from Jacquees or his representatives has surfaced in the initial reporting. Bond status and any further court developments were pending his Monday appearance.
The case is early. More information could emerge from court proceedings or if authorities release the full arrest report. For now, the confirmed facts rest on Broward County jail records as reported by local news.
