\nMIAMI (CBSMiami) \u2013 The Miami Police Department announced Saturday the arrest of rapper Polo G and others following an overnight traffic stop. Police said an officer initiated a traffic stop at the intersection of South Biscayne Boulevard and S.E.1 Street at approximately 12:30 a.m. Rapper Polo G, whose real name is Taurus Bartlett,22, along with others is facing charges following his arrest. Cell phone video captured by his mother shows more than 30 police cars. Bartlett\u2019s mother, Stacia Mac, was not happy, saying police pulled over Polo G and her younger son, whom she said police would not let her approach. \u201cMy son Polo G came from his afterparty at Allure and basically they stopped them because they were driving while black. Let\u2019s keep in mind they were driving in a licensed vehicle with security and a driver. He wasn\u2019t even the person driving,\u201d she said. According to a police report, the car Bartlett was in was pulled over. The report said the officer and Bartlett ended up in a struggle on the ground and while the officer was trying to handcuff him Bartlett struck him multiple times. \u201cThis is ridiculous. And the only crime they committed is being black and successful,\u201d said the mom. Bartlett\u2019s mom went on to tweet: \u201cNone of these charges would be possible if the police did not make contact with my son Polo G!!! He was NOT the driver. He was a PASSENGER in a professionally licensed vehicle with security. He was moving smart and correctly. What more could he have done?\u201d The city of Miami Police Department has initiated a review of this incident, which will include an examination of all camera footage Police said Polo G is facing: \u2022 Battery on a Police Officer \u2022 Threats to a Public Servant \u2022 Resisting Officer with Violence to His Person \u2022 Resisting Officer without Violence to His Person \u2022 Criminal Mischief Others arrested in the incident face one or more of the following charges: \u2022 Driving While License Suspended \u2022 No Valid Driver\u2019s License \u2022 Resisting Officer without Violence to His Person \u2022 Disorderly Conduct \/ Breach of Peace The documents say Bartlett was aggressive as he resisted arrest in downtown Miami. One of the officers said he had ordered him and all the passengers in the car he was traveling in to get out of the vehicle to pat them down for firearms, saying he suspected they carried weapons because they heard a passenger claim the vehicle was bulletproof. Police spokesman Michael Vega said it also was investigating several threats received against personnel and facilities in response to the rapper\u2019s arrest. The Chicago-based artist had just released his newest album \u201cHall of Fame\u201d on Friday. His single \u201cRapstar\u201d debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April. His mother and manager said on Instagram that Polo G and his younger brother were riding in a car with security after an album release party. Mom posted a message on Facebook saying she had bonded out Polo G and other people who were arrested in the same traffic stop. Jail records did not list an attorney for the rapper.<\/p>\n
