Rapper Juvenile (whose real name is Terius Gray) was arrested Wednesday in Miami on battery and other charges for allegedly smashing a champagne bottle over a man's head and grabbing a police officer during a disturbance outside a comedy club, reports the Associated Press. In the midst of several fights, said police, Juvenile allegedly let his reputed victim, Jackson Saint Ange, have it on the head with a bottle of Moet champagne. (An unconscious Ange was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.) "He dissed him," Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss said. "The entire fight was about disrespect shown to the rap artist." Juvenile reportedly ran from police but was apprehended.
