Rick Ross was arrested in Miami on the morning of October 1 on a felony charge of battery by strangulation, CBS reports.
The rapper also faces one count of misdemeanour battery. Both charges relate to domestic violence, according to CBS.
Miami Beach police booked Ross at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. The department did not immediately respond to requests for further details or an arrest report.
Ross' arraignment is scheduled for October 22. Pitchfork has also contacted Ross' lawyer by email for comment.
The arrest follows public accusations of physical abuse made by Ross' ex-girlfriend, Jazzma Kendrick, which People reported on Sunday. Ross has issued no response to those allegations, and it remains unclear whether they are connected to his arrest.
Ross has not publicly addressed the charges. His October 22 arraignment will determine the next steps in the case.
