Video: Hannibal Buress arrested in Miami after a confrontation with police
I don’t want to believe this is some weird act of Karma, but it’s quite funny.
Comedian Hannibal Buress, who is more popularly known for putting Bill Cosby in jail has himself ended in jail.
The video below shows the famous comedian after he was cuffed at around 2 AM Sunday, challenging Miami cops to justify the detention, repeatedly asking them to explain what probable cause they had.
Buress refused to get in the police car and after a standoff that lasted several minutes he was pushed inside the patrol unit.
Cops told him he was arrested for trespassing but a jail official told TMZ the arrest was for “disorderly intoxication.”
Buress was released at around 6 AM after posting a $500 bond.
However, Hannibal Buress seemed like he was trying to do the right thing before getting busted for disorderly intoxication … ’cause he asked a cop to order him a ride home.
The arresting officer said Hannibal approached him with blood shot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath, and then asked the cop to call him an Uber. The officer says he refused, which caused Hannibal to become angry and belligerent.

The cop went on to say Hannibal then went inside a bar, which the cop says he asked Hannibal to leave since he was too drunk. The two then made it outside, where the officer says Hannibal continued to hurl profanities at him and caused a crowd to form.
The cop says he asked him to leave 5 times before cuffing him.
