Megan Thee Stallion show.As per a report shared by the regional outlet KHOU 11 (via Complex), the 28-year-old fan, named Trayvone Lil Darus Stevenson, was arrested after impersonating a police officer at one of the rapper’s headline shows.The set was at a March Madness Music Festival-launching show on Friday (March 31), which took place in Houston.According to reports, Stevenson was wearing a vest that read “Police K-9” when he was arrested at the venue.

He later faced a felony charge of impersonating a public servant.In a separate report, shared on Monday (April 3) by KTRK, the fan was released after being granted a $20,000 (£16,045) bond by Harris Country Judge, Danilo Lacayo.Following the settlement, a prosecutor named Mathew Jackson made a statement to the local outlet, reminding fans of the consequences involved when impersonating a public servant. “Megan Thee Stallion is a fantastic draw, big draw, especially here in Houston, but this is still a felony case,” he said. “You cannot go and impersonate an officer to get into a concert venue.”Last year, members of the entertainment world came forward in support of Megan Thee Stallion, after a jury found Tory Lanez guilty of shooting her in July 2020.After a nine-day trial, Lanez was found guilty of all three charges against him – one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, one count of carrying a concealed, loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and one charge of discharging a firearm with gross negligence.He faced more than 20 years in prison and the possibility of being deported back to his native Canada.
