A man was arrested for impersonating a police officer in order to gain entry to a Megan Thee Stallion concert.
Trayvone Lil Darus Stevenson was charged with impersonating a public servant on Friday after attempting to sneak into the AT&T Block Party concert at the NCAA March Madness Music Festival in Houston, where the “Savage” rapper was the headliner.
The 28-year-old man allegedly wore a “Police K-9” vest and “identified himself to event security as a police officer for the purpose of getting into a live music event associated with the Final Four college basketball weekend,” according to court documents obtained by ABC13 Houston.
Stevenson, who has no prior record, works as a barber in Houston and has no law enforcement experience. He appeared in court on Monday after spending the weekend in Harris County Jail and was released after posting a $20,000 bond.
“Megan Thee Stallion is a fantastic draw, a big draw, especially here in Houston,” prosecutor Mathew Jackson said during Monday’s hearing. “You cannot go to a concert venue and impersonate an officer.”
Megan’s sold-out show at Discovery Green was part of the NCAA March Madness Music Festival, and it was her first performance of the year. The three-day free event also included Lil Nas X, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban.
