Statement on Tyler, The Creator’s Arrest lyrics
by Tyler, The Creator
The Austin Police Department arrested Tyler Gregory Okonma, AKA, Tyler the Creator, B/M (D.O.B: 03-06-1991) on Saturday, March 15, 2014 without incident. Okonma has been charged with Riot-Class A Misdemeanor, and has a bond of $25,000. The charge stems from an incident that occurred on Thursday March 13, 2014, at a local entertainment venue where the subject encouraged behavior causing an immediate danger and injury to persons. Specifically, the subject encouraged a large crowd on more than one occasion to force themselves past venue employees controlling access at the venue which was already at full capacity.
Regardless of the size of a crowd, the encouragement of unruly and unlawful behavior is against the law and cannot be tolerated.
