He was involved in “a disturbance on a yacht” that resulted in fights, police said. Officers had seen Scott “standing on the dock, yelling at the occupants of the vessel” and ordered him to sit down.

Later on Thursday, Travis Scott even shared an edited photo of his mugshot on his Instagram story, wearing sunglasses and headphones.
