Rapper Fivio Foreign has been arrested after a brief chase with police on foot.
Reports say Fivio, real name Maxie Ryles III, left his 2018 Mercedes Benz running in a no-parking zone as he went into the nearby Citibank.
Capt. Ricky Mirkovic said an officer, Sgt. Howard Ginsburg then asked to see the rapper’s driver’s license as he approached the vehicle. Fivio asked whether he was getting a ticket before walking away.

The sergeant stayed with the running vehicle as another officer tracked him down a block away. The officer asked the rapper several times to stop so they could speak to him, adding that he “acknowledged but ignored him and continued to walk away.”
The officer said he then grabbed him the parking garage as a loaded .25-caliber handgun fell from the rapper’s waistband. A scuffle took place and backup officers eventually managed to get him into handcuffs and arrest him. One officer was taken to hospital for a minor injury.
Fivio was slapped with several charges, including weapons possession, having a defaced firearm and resisting arrest. He was sent to Bergen County Jail.
