Princess Bell “nearly” struck a man, who was working as a security guard at Taboo Miami by G5ive, and who told police officers that he was “in fear for his life,” according to the police arrest report.

A woman who worked as a manager at the club at 331 NW 170 St. told police officers that Bell had been terminated over “bizarre” behavior and conflicts with employees, and she was at the club to pickup her belongings, according to police.

Bell allegedly “began to run inside throughout the club ... throwing items, and using excessive profanity, disrupting the normal flow of business,” so security “escorted her outside,” and she returned with the pole, according to the police report.

After leaving the club, a police officer reported Bell was walking towards a Shell gas station at Northwest Seventh Avenue and 171st Street, when she ignored orders to stop and ran, according to the arrest report.

North Miami Beach police officers chased Bell and arrested her shortly after 11:50 p.m. at the westbound ramp of State Road 826, but there was a struggle, according to the report.

Bell “refused to stand up and continued to push her bodyweight onto the ground,” and she also refused to identify herself before providing her sister’s name, according to the police arrest report.

Police officers asked Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel and Jackson Memorial Hospital West to care for Bell before taking her to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to the arrest report.

Miami-Dade corrections booked her shortly after 5:10 a.m. on Tuesday. She faced seven charges: Aggravated battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, providing a false name or ID after arrest, and four counts of resisting arrest without violence.

Records show corrections held her without bond on both out-of-state and out-of-county fugitive warrants.
