RuPaul's Drag Racce star Tyra Sanchez has reportedly been arrested in Florida for assault and threatening a police officer.

The star, whose real name is James Ross and is also known as King Tyra, won the 2010 series of the popular drag competition, instantly giving a major boost to her profile and career.

However she has got into trouble with the law since, as in 2020 she was reportedly arrested in Atlanta for vandalism, having allegedly spray-painted the building she lived in.

The star was again arrested in May and charged with resisting or obstructing an officer without violence, and an assault on an officer.

According to an arrest report seen by TMZ, Sanchez was in a minor car accident with another driver, and when officers arrived on the scene they allege she began shouting at them.

The report goes on to say that the officer tried to calm her down, but when she wasn't complying they tried to handcuff her, when she allegedly threatened to shoot the officer.

They then say Sanchez tried to reach into her car, with the officer getting her into a bear hug and deploying a tazer - but Sanchez still escaped on foot, and was arrested a short distance away.
