A former rapper and reality star cursed at
police and used racist language against an officer after he was arrested
last month, according to newly released body cam footage.
The video shows Raymond “Benzino” Scott screaming anti-Asian
slurs against one of the arresting officers as he was taken to jail for
allegedly missing a court date.
Officers with the Brookhaven Police Department arrested Scott
outside of his home on June 22. The rapper, producer and former cast
member on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta has had multiple run-ins with law
enforcement over the years.
Police noticed Scott’s car blocking traffic on Durden Road near
Blackburn Park around 11 a.m. and decided to approach, according to a
report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Scott drove away
and into a nearby apartment complex, but by then the officers had
performed a search on his license plate and discovered there was a
warrant for his arrest, police said.
