According to TMZ, singer Mark Morrison, known for his hit song “Return of the Mack”, was arrested on a battery charge in Florida after reportedly getting into a physical altercation with the general manager of a high-end restaurant.
The police report states that Morrison entered Le Bar à Vin in Palm Beach on Saturday evening and became aggressive towards the manager, yelling and using profanity. It appears that Morrison was unhappy about an event he had been planning with the venue the day before.
Witnesses reported that the situation escalated to the point where Morrison allegedly pushed the manager in the upper body. The manager, Nicola Lavacca, did not retaliate. Another witness intervened and separated the two, urging Morrison to leave the premises. Subsequently, Morrison was arrested by the police for simple battery.
In a photo obtained by TMZ, Morrison is shown in handcuffs wearing a black shirt, khaki shorts, and bright yellow shoes. He later took a mugshot in a blue jumpsuit, appearing visibly displeased. Morrison was released on Sunday morning after posting a $1,000 bond.
TMZ attempted to contact Morrison’s representative for a statement but has not received a response at this time.
