KELIS - KELIS ARRESTED AFTER SIDEWALK SCUFFLE

US R&B singer Kelis has been charged with disorderly conduct after being arrested in Florida during the early hours of Friday morning local time.

The 27-year-old, since released on bail, was detained when she repeatedly charged at two undercover police officers who were talking to a group of men that included her husband, rapper Nas.

As a crowd of onlookers gathered in the nightspot venue of Miami Beach, the singer, whose full name is Kelis Rogers-Jones, shouted racial profanities at the policewomen before being restrained by friends.

The police report adds that Kelis, best known for 2005 effort Milkshake, then resisted arrest while being handcuffed.

According to reports, the two female police officers were posing as prostitutes.

Kelis' publicist Tracy Nguyen would not comment on the arrest.
