Travis Scott is trying to move past his June arrest by requesting that a judge dismiss his trespassing case, arguing that the marina lacked proper "No Trespassing" signs. His lawyer, Bradford Cohen, filed a motion on Tuesday, stating that Scott cannot be found guilty of trespassing after a heated night involving yacht staff in Miami a couple of months ago.
Scott's legal team argues that there were no visible signs at the marina warning against trespassing. While there were signs on nearby private property, they claim those don't apply to Scott’s presence at the marina itself. Additionally, they argue the case should be dismissed because Scott was technically arrested at the address of a private parking lot, not the Miami Beach Marina.
Scott was originally arrested on two charges in June after allegedly getting into an argument at the marina. Police claim they told him to leave, but he returned shortly after and became aggressive. He was charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication, though the latter charge has since been dropped.

The trespassing trial is scheduled for September, and it remains to be seen whether Scott’s motion to dismiss will be successful.
