MIAMI -- Comedian Hannibal Buress was arrested Saturday night, CBS Miami reports. Police said he was arrested for disorderly intoxication.
Buress approached a police officer, who described the comedian as having "red blood shot eyes and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage," and asked the officer to call him an Uber, according to an arrest report.
After being told by the officer that he couldn't call an Uber, Buress became angry and belligerent. He was asked to leave the premises but instead Buress walked inside a venue.
