Rapper Rick Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts, appeared in court after being arrested on charges of felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery. He voluntarily turned himself in to Miami Beach police and was released on a $5,000 bond. The charges relate to an alleged domestic violence incident on August 28, where the accuser claimed Ross assaulted her and restricted her breathing. The accuser, who had been in a relationship with Ross for a year, provided photos of her injuries. Ross’s attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, and the judge ordered him to stay away from the accuser. Ross is known for his music career, including his debut album “Port of Miami” and founding Maybach Music Group.
