Scott was escorted by police away from the yacht as he continued to yell obscenities at the people aboard, the news outlet reported, citing an arrest report. Scott left the marina, but returned about five minutes later and tried to get back on a boat.
That's when police tried to intercept him. They said the rapper became "erratic and belligerent" and then arrested him, TMZ reports. Throughout the incident, police said Scott allegedly smelled of alcohol.
TMZ reported that sources close to Scott said the incident is just a "minor charge."
Scott took to his Instagram Story on Thursday morning to post a screenshot of his mugshot, edited with headphones and sunglasses.
