Musician Trey Songz Arrested at Chiefs Game After Fighting with Police on Video

Singer Trey Songz was arrested and charged with trespassing, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer at Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

TMZ Sports posted video of the altercation, in which Songz connects with a punch and puts the officer in a headlock. Witnesses say Songz was acting in self-defense because the officer "went after him" after the singer asked a group of fans to stop heckling him.

The Kansas City police department released a statement refuting those claims. In the statement on the arrest, police say Songz refused to comply with health mandates from the state health department, namely about mask-wearing. When he was approached by security in an attempt to get him to comply with orders, Songz refused and then would not leave after he was ejected from the stadium.

Songz was placed onto a hold overnight and released Monday morning. 

Songz was previously charged with felony assault of a Detroit police officer in 2016. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of disturbing the peace as part of a plea deal and was sentenced to probation.

The officer and a photographer who was involved later sued the singer.
