Ty Dolla $ign was arrested on his way to a concert in Atlanta yesterday for alleged possession of cocaine and marijuana — but he wasn’t the only celeb there. The body cam footage released by police reveals Skrillex was with him, too.
Offers apparently caught a whiff of weed, which led them straight to the vehicle and a drug dog was called in to investigate. The video footage below, obtained by TMZ, documents how the search and arrest all played out. Neither Skrillex or Ty had any illegal substances on them, but the vehicle was another story.
Ultimately, the video below shows the rapper being put in cuffs just hours before his headlining show. Skrillex was not taking into custody.
Ty’s attorney, Drew Findling, spoke to Channel 2 Action News: “He had no drugs on his person at all. Apparently, there was a small amount of some drug found in the car and they let five people walk away. And they let the international superstar go into custody.”
Ty Dolla $ign is out on a $6,000 bond and due back in court on September 20th.
