Rich The Kid Pleads No Contest In Hotel Case That Stalled Bomb Threat Investigation

Rich The Kid agreed to plead no contest to the resisting arrest and trespassing charges in exchange for avoiding jail time with a sentence of time served for the 1 day he already spent in Miami-Dade County jail at the time of the arrest and a $1,000 fine. Rich’s lawyers Bradford Cohen and Saam Zangeneh say "We believed that if we proceeded to go to trial we would have been successful." "The offers leading up to the trial included a period of supervision. That being said our client is pleased with the outcome of time served and a fine to resolve the matter and looks forward to continued success." Rich was in town for Art Basel when cops were responding to a bomb threat at the South Beach hotel where he was staying. Instead of waiting for the investigation to clear, cops say Rich just barreled through police caution tape, and was eventually arrested for resisting arrest without violence, and trespass. He quipped to cops he'd "bond out in 20 minutes." Obviously, it took longer than that to square things with the law, but it's all over now.
