Ray J, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr, was apprehended by law enforcement officers after the LAPD received a call from someone inside the Beverly Wilshire Hotel claiming the singer was causing a commotion within the hotel's bar, reported TMZ online.
The staff at the hotel allegedly told Ray J to leave the bar but he refused and law enforcement were called soon after.
After officers were called to the scene, Ray J reportedly refused leave quietly and was restrained with handcuffs. Unfortunately, this did little to improve Ray J's mood as he proceeded to kick the window out of a law enforcement vehicle.
The statement, issued by the LAPD, claimed "After the uniform police officers took Mr Norwood into custody and placed him in the rear of a police vehicle, he became belligerent and used his feet to shatter the side window of the police vehicle."
Ray J is currently in custody and is being charged with trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest, and battery.
