New Jersey rapper arrested at England’s World Cup game in Miami
New Jersey rapper Tommie Lee was arrested at England’s World Cup game over the weekend.
The star of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta was one of six people detained at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, on July 11th.
According to TMZ, Lee was arrested for allegedly sneaking into the stadium to watch the England versus Norway game in the World Cup quarter-final match-up.
A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrest report claims that she was taken into custody for not having a ticket to the game, despite being inside the stadium.
Lee was hit with a third-degree felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event, pleading not guilty.
CBS Miami reports that Lee went to the 100-level seating area after managing to enter through the southeast gate. She was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released on July 12th on a $1,000 bond.
Lee took to social media following her arrest to address the incident in posts to her 5.3 million Instagram followers.
“Had ah escort and all smh,” she wrote alongside videos inside the stadium. “Sad I spent my money and didn’t even get to see the game all because of a cops EGO sad. A escort they gave me y’all should be tired for me I can’t even stomach this false narrative they keep freely giving me it’s sick and will be dealt with the proper way.”
In the end, England won 2-1 in extra time to advance to the semi-final, where they face Argentina at the Atlanta Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 15th.
The winner will face either Spain or France in the World Cup final, which is scheduled to take place on July 19th.
