A video of Ovi's arrest in Miami has been released.

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) in Miami released the video of the arrest of Cuban singer Ovidio Crespo, known as Ovi.

The FHP released footage of the rapper's arrest, during which two officers had to forcibly remove him from the car while a third pointed a gun at him.

The recording also shows the fact that motivated the arrest: Ovi was driving his car when he pointed his firearm at another driver.

"He was involved in a traffic confrontation and pointed a firearm at another driver. He is facing several charges for felonies," the agency said on its X account.

The Cuban was located on Wednesday while driving a Lamborghini truck in Doral, where he resides. Agents found a SIG Sauer pistol on his belt and two generic Percocet pills (a semi-synthetic narcotic analgesic) in the vehicle.

According to the arrest report, which Local 10 had access to, the incident for which he was arrested occurred on Monday shortly after 12:45 pm.

The victim, Venezuelan model Giussepe Benignini, was driving on Southwest Eighth Street under Florida's Turnpike, in West Miami-Dade, when Ovi's McLaren cut him off. Benignini honked his horn, and the other responded by aiming a gun out of the window.

The model recorded everything with her cell phone. She recognized the singer and his car and identified him through Instagram.

This Wednesday, Ovi appeared in court accused of possession of controlled substances, verbal assault with a firearm, and public display of a firearm.

Judge Mindy Glazer set a bail of $6,500 and issued a restraining order against the Venezuelan. He will not be able to communicate with him in person or electronically.

"I'm driving and I see a car, a McLaren, cutting me off. I honk the horn because it almost hit me, and when I honk, he stops and pulls out a gun. [...] I thought he was going to shoot me," the victim recounted.

Until the last hour of the morning this Wednesday, Ovi was at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

On the same day of the incident, he shared a post on his social media in which he appeared happy in his colorful McLaren.

This fact adds to other similar incidents involving the Cuban singer in recent years in the United States, where he has been arrested several times.

In 2021, he had a confrontation with another singer and also displayed a weapon in public.
