BENTON COUNTY (KFSM) — Travis Scott was arrested on Saturday night (May 13) after his concert at the Walmart AMP, a jailer with the Benton County Detention Center said.
Scott was booked in the jail at 11:14 p.m. and released at 11:26 p.m.
Scott encouraged people to rush the stage and bypass the security protocols to ensure safety, Keith Foster with the Rogers Police Department said.
Foster said several people were injured during the rush, including an employee from the security company hired to help monitor and control the crowd and a member of the police department. They were treated at the AMP by members of the Rogers Fire Department and Mercy Medical.
He is facing charges of endangering a minor, disorderly conduct and inciting a riot.
Scott is a rapper, recording artist and producer.

Didn’t the Beatles have trouble with this 50 years ago? Let the artists perform. The man did nothing but engage the audience.

Check your calendar. It’s not 50 years ago. Behavior today is far different today. Many police only carried ‘billy clubs’ today they have Glocks. He encouraged bypassing security protocols in place. People were injured he is responsible.

Just proves the mentality of people who go to rap concerts that they would upon encouragement rush the stage in a state of irresponsibility.
