Hannibal Buress was arrested in Miami on Saturday on charges of disorderly intoxication, People reported.

“Am I under arrest? For what?” the 34-year-old yelled in the video. “Explain what I’m detained for... What I am detained for?”
One officer replied that he was being arrested for trespassing.
First @MiamiPD said they arrested @HannibalBuress for "trespassing." Now they say "disorderly intoxication." Sounds more like "being a loud black guy" to me. https://t.co/evvTtp25Lk#ArtBaselpic.twitter.com/CFlh4WAjlb
