On December 7, 2017, comedian Hannibal Buress was arrested in Miami, Florida on one count of disorderly intoxication after a multifaceted incident with Miami Police Officer Luis Verne. Body camera footage released shortly after the arrest showed Buress taunting and mocking the officer and repeatedly demanding to know why he was being arrested.
According to Verne’s arrest report, however, the incident started much earlier. It alleges as follows: “While working a fixed post on NW 2 Avenue & NW 20 Terrace during Art Basel, the defendant, who had red bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from within his breath approached me and asked me to call him an Uber. I told the defendant I could not call him an Uber and he became angry and belligerent. I asked the defendant to leave the premises and the defendant instead walked inside the venue located on 2000 NW 2nd Avenue. I then walked inside the venue and told the defendant he had to leave due to him being highly intoxicated. Once outside, the defendant stood by the front gate and continued yelling profanities, I then again asked him to leave the area about five times. A crowd began to gather and vehicular traffic slowed as they watched the defendant yelling and being disorderly. Defendant arrested.
Buress later stated, “I asked the [officer] to call me an Uber, and he said, “No.” He told me to leave the street. I go into this bar to get a phone charger for an Uber. He follows me into the bar, and told me I’m too drunk to go inside. […] ‘If I can’t be on the street, where do you want me to be?’ I ask him. I was in a state of trying to get home. […] I don’t really believe I was at fault.” (He left out a few things.) The case was later dismissed.

I used to like and respect this guy
This punk laughs like someone who is emotionally unstable.
Sorry but Hannibal was being a soy boy on this . All he had to do is shut his mouth and listen to the cop for about 4-5 minutes .
Instead he just repeats himself a million times . “Am I Under arrest ?â€
“What is the charge ? “Ect ect …. he was only being detained ..not arrested ,
There are times with police when it’s in your favor to swallow your pride and just be calm
This is one of those times , you got the money …so who gives a shit what petty offense the cop is trying to cite you on .u
Quit being a bitch Hannibal . Man the fuck up and this would have been wrapped up in 10 minutes tops
Cmon Hannibal. You had them coppers in the beginning. You should've just went with the cops flow and not argue. You had so many people filming. Those cops probably would've let you go.
Lesson here is to just go with the pigs flow. Eventually the porkers will let you go. Be easy
Lmaoo love him 😂😂
Idk, I just enjoyed the Wu Tang! Anyone else?
Hannibal has a VERY serious drinking problem and I hope he has gotten help since this was filmed.
"We out here" – the mantra of the fucking dope.
You can watch him be this stupid and more in his chat with Sam Harris.
Wheres Blannibal?
Well i no longer respect this guy.
Honestly, while Hannibal was being really dumb, this was still kind of a stupid arrest. Who here would honestly consider that kind of behavior as "threatening to themselves or the public"?
you are under arrest for being stupid… in other words drunk and disorderly conduct
You can hear the other cops before he ends the audio “yea want a spanking? Cause she’s a lil tease†hahahahahahaha
Cops trash
This is truly sad. Not because he got detained or arrested or what ever. The sad thing is lots of Americans ego and mentality. Btw I love you Hannibal AND Eric Andre 🙂
Quick shout out to Christina Applegate
Bird Up!
Never thought I see someone bad at being arrested, almost as bad as his comedy….. ALMOST
7:56 it was way to early to be that drunk !!!
Drunk in public thats the charge
Coward cops are the reason our country is falling apart. Somebody tell “Sherlock†that not leaving when someone asks you to is NOT a detain-able offense. POS
He’s dangerous to society
Bro kinda sound like 50 cent here and there😂😂😂😂
I mean what moron ass cops, don't read him his rights, won't tell him what he's being arrested for and than has the nerve to ignore his questions! You're a public servant!!!
Hannibal is an idiot.
Hannibal def gets the W on this. Anything that made him look at all dumb was bc he was drunk asf and trynna have fun with the cops. Shit was unnecessary and he was expressing that by showing them how little he cared
Bruh how are people taking the cops side? Hannibal drunk asf and he still shutting them bitches down
