Prosecutors have dropped a disorderly intoxication charge against comedian Hannibal Buress.
Buress, 34, was drunk during a Dec. 9th encounter with an officer on a Wynwood street corner, prosecutors say. But the charge has been dropped because they can't prove he "endangered the safety or another person or of property," as the law requires, according to a closeout memo released Thursday by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
According to the memo, Buress approached the officer and requested that the officer call him an Uber. Buress became "angry and belligerent" when the officer told him to leave, the memo said.
The officer's body camera captured part of the encounter.
"Hey, what's up. It's me, Hannibal Buress. This cop is stupid as f--k," Buress said to the officer in the video.
"I'm under arrest right now for calling him a b--ch-ass n---er," he continued.
Buress was booked into jail and later released.
