The Cuban reggaeton artist Yosvani Sierra Hernández, known artistically as "Chocolate MC", was arrested on Thursday morning after an altercation related to domestic violence in a residential building in downtown Miami, United States.
According to Telemundo 51, the incident occurred in apartment 2207 of the building located at 1500 NE Miami Place, around 6:40 a.m. According to the police report, the victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, stated that she was home alone when Hernández entered the apartment accompanied by another woman.
The relationship between the victim and the accused had been defined as polyamorous for the past year and a half, but tensions culminated in a physical confrontation.
Details of the altercation
The police report indicates that what started as a verbal argument quickly escalated into a physical altercation. According to the victim, the singer raised his voice in an intimidating manner while she was sitting on the sofa.
As she tried to get up, the so-called "King of the Repairmen" grabbed her firmly by the arms, leaving visible marks. The confrontation left the woman with bruises on her arms, forearms, and forehead.
After the altercation, the victim experienced dizziness and sought help in the building's lobby, where she was assisted by rescue personnel. Although paramedics offered to take her to a hospital, the woman declined medical attention.
Arrest of Chocolate MC
The officers arrived at the scene and, after several failed attempts to contact Hernández in the apartment, received assistance from the building manager and the maintenance team to gain access to the location.
Upon entering, they found the artist asleep in a room. After several attempts to communicate, he woke up, complied with the orders, and was taken into custody.
The musician was transferred to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGKCC) at 12:30 p.m. on the same day, where he faces a charge of domestic violence. The established bail is $1,000, but it had not been paid at the time of his arrest.
