Polo’s mother and manager, Stacia Mac posted a video on Instagram recounting the moments leading to her sons’ arrests. Mac explained that they were riding the car with security after the album release party for Polo’s latest album “Hall of Fame.”
She also went on to say that the police “made it difficult for her to check on her children.” Mac said that her two sons were heading to the after-party when the incident occurred.
“My kids called me in a frenzy saying the police are behind them, 20 cars behind them,” Mac said. She also added, “They refused to let me speak to my minor son, who is 16-years-old. They stopped them because they were driving while Black.”
The Miami Police department has not responded to these claims as of yet.
