PLANTATION, Fla. — Rapper iHeartMemphis, whose real name is Richard Maurice Colbert, was detained again in South Florida Tuesday night.
Just last week, he was arrested following a SWAT response at his home in Plantation.
This time, Plantation police say officers responded to the 8600 block of Gatehouse Road after receiving reports that Colbert was causing a disturbance.
When officers attempted to detain him, police say he fled on foot, running through the neighborhood and entering several private homes.
A perimeter was set up near Jacaranda Country Club as Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted with their helicopter and K-9 units.
Eventually, the rapper was taken into custody near Mahogany Way in Plantation.
Police say at the time officers first saw him, Colbert was using a cellphone and posting on social media, which violates the conditions of his release stemming from last week’s arrest.
Video from that prior incident shows Colbert after he barricaded himself inside his home for hours, and he even live-streamed the moment he was taken into custody.
The rapper is best known for his 2015 hit song “Hit the Quan.”
