Singer Kelis Arrested After Making Racial Slurs to Police

By Ayanna Guyhto

Perhaps someone stole her "Milkshake"---because for some reason singer Kelis decided to go on a rampage, hurling verbal obscenities and racial slurs at two prostitutes in a popular section of Miami Beach, Florida. The major problem with this scenario? The "prostitutes" were actually undercover police officers, working in a covert police operation.

AN EPISODE OF "MIAMI VICE"

The singer, who is 27 years old apparently began screaming the obscenities at the two women as they walked along a major street in South Beach's popular nightclub district around 4:30 a.m. But the tirade did not cease there. Kelis (also known as Kelis Rogers-Jones) allegedly rushed for the undercover officers, and had to be held back by friends she was with. The singer calmed down for a while, but then started back up again. She again rushed the two and was arrested-all the while resisting the arrest.

The entire incident might have transpired in a different way, had Rogers-Jones not charged towards the officers. But according to witnesses, the singer's conduct drew a lot of attention. And soon a crowd formed. People began to block the sidewalks. And as a result, some people were pushed into the busy street, which in turn blocked traffic. In addition to the melee, a firearm was recovered by police from someone at the scene. There are no reports on who the firearm belonged to, or even if it had anything to do with the incident.

KELIS THE TROUBLEMAKER?

Kelis Roger-Jones is most noted for her presence in the hip-hop community. Married to rapper Nas in 2005, she has been musically linked to a number of artists including Foxy Brown, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Busta Rhymes, and Lil' Kim, amongst others.

Her "Caught Out There" single, which soared to popularity with her top-volume screamed lyrics of "I hate-you so much right now!" earned her a saucy title in R&B/hip-hop circles. But in the case of the undercover officers, it is still unclear as to what specifically set off the young singer's outbursts in the street.

Kelis was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence. Shortly after her arrest, she was released from the Miami-Dade county jail on $1,500 bail. There is no indication whether or not Kelis Rogers-Jones has obtained or hired a lawyer to represent her. When the singer's publicist, Tracy Nguyen was contacted about the incident, she failed to comment.

Maybe she was pissed because they were "working" her corner?

    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.
