A man who pretended to be a police officer in order to enter a Megan Thee Stallion concert was detained.
Trayvone Lil Darus Stevenson was arrested for impersonating a public official as he attempted to enter the AT&T Block Party concert, which was the featured act at the NCAA March Madness Music Festival in Houston on Friday, while it was taking place. The rapper “Savage” was performing at the event.
The 28-year-old man allegedly used 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 acquired by ABC13 Houston.
Stevenson, who has no prior record, is actually a barber in Houston and has no background in law enforcement. After spending the weekend in Harris County Jail, he faced a judge on Monday and was released after posting a $20,000 bond.
“Megan Thee Stallion is a fantastic draw, big draw, especially here in Houston, but this is still a felony case,” prosecutor Mathew Jackson said during Monday’s hearing. “You cannot go and impersonate an officer to get into a concert venue.”
Megan’s sold-out performance at Discovery Green was part of the NCAA March Madness Music Festival, her first concert of the year. The free, three-day event also featured Lil Nas X, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban.
