A high-speed misunderstanding where the artist allegedly panicked, but the situation was resolved quickly with minimal disruption.
Insiders suggest the 'blue raspberry' weed packages might be a weird flex or a code, but the real tea is the felony fleeing charge that could mess with his tour schedule.
Arrested Friday morning, Oct 23, 2026, in DeSoto County, FL. Charges include felony fleeing, speeding 113 mph in a 60 mph zone, and possession of marijuana.
Speeding is bad, but fleeing felony-level cops is worse. Bryant Myers just turned a traffic stop into a headline-making legal mess.
Puerto Rican rap star Bryant Myers is in hot water after a high-speed chase in Florida ended with him in handcuffs. TMZ reports that Myers was arrested Friday morning, October 23, 2026, by the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office for allegedly trying to elude police. The incident escalated quickly when deputies spotted Myers driving a vehicle that was clocked at a staggering 113 mph in a 60 mph zone.
That’s not just speeding; that’s reckless endangerment with a felony attached. According to the Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Myers didn’t pull over immediately. Instead, he allegedly drove approximately seven miles from where deputies first observed him before finally stopping.
Video footage of the incident captures the moment the car flies by police, followed by the driver eventually putting his hands out of the window, climbing out, and placing his hands behind his head. It’s a classic scene of realization, but for Myers, the damage was already done. He was booked into the DeSoto County jail on four distinct charges.
The charges are serious. Myers faces one felony count of fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer. In addition to the felony, he was hit with two misdemeanors: possession of marijuana less than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The fourth charge is operating a vehicle exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 mph. The specific details of the drug possession have added a layer of absurdity to the drama. Deputies claimed they found "two 'blue raspberry' marijuana packages" in his pocket, along with an open bag of marijuana in the SUV's center console.
Blue raspberry? Really? For those who don’t know, Bryant Myers—real name Bryan Robert Rohena Pérez—is a major player in the Latin trap and reggaeton scene.
He gained significant traction after being featured on Maluma’s 2016 hit "Cuatro Babys," which rocketed to No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. He’s also known for his solo track "Esclava," which made him a star in his hometown of Loma Alta, Puerto Rico. This arrest comes as a shock to fans who know him for his smooth flows, not his reckless driving.
With a felony charge hanging over his head, the question now is how this will impact his career trajectory and upcoming appearances. The receipts are in, and they don’t look pretty.
