AceShowbiz - Nikita Dragun has got her freedom back. It was unveiled that the transgender YouTuber has been released from jail after she was placed in a male cell following her arrest.
Revealing the news was Nikita's rep, Jack Ketsoyan of Full Scope Public Relations. Jack told Page Six that the beauty influence, whose real name is Nikita Nguyen, "has been released and is now safe." The rep added, "Thank you for respecting her privacy during this time."
Prior to that, Jack divulged, "The situation with Nikita, who is legally female, being placed in a men's unit of a Florida jail is extremely disturbing and dangerous." The rep added, "This decision made by the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department directly violates their protocol, which mandates that transgender inmates are classified and housed based on safety needs and gender identity."
Nikita was taken into custody on Monday, November 7 at luxury The Goodtime Hotel after "walking around naked by a swimming pool and dousing a police officer with water," TMZ reported. She got busted after police responded to a report of a person being "extremely disorderly" and "causing a disturbance" at the hotel.
Nikita, who looks disturbed in her mugshot, was arrested for felony battery on a police officer, misdemeanor disorderly conduct and misdemeanor battery. She was booked at Miami-Dade County's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,000 bond.
Detailing the arrest, an eyewitness told Deux Moi, "Nikita Dragun was arrested at a hotel in Miami last night as I was having dinner there. It was a pretty formal restaurant, maybe 1/4 full and 6.30ish so right at dinner time." The tipster further noted that the Internet personality only wore "two small pink towels draped around her."
"Male hotel security guard tells her she needs to put clothes on and leave. She says she has clothes on," the informant added. "He tries again and calmly asks her to leave, she throws an entire cocktail drink on him."
As one security guard wasn't enough, "another female security guard [came] up." The insider continued sharing, "And they have to physically grab her and escort her outside while she's screaming, 'I'm being nice I'm being nice!!!' "
About 30 minutes later, according to the alleged eyewitness, Nikita was "being taken back inside the hotel towards the elevator," this time wearing what appeared to be "the clothes she wore all day, and she's in handcuffs with a police officer, still refusing to go in the elevator and is screaming at everyone."
"When they finally got her inside the elevator, the Restaurant/hotel staff were really shaken up and apologized to everyone," so said the source. "When she was still wearing the towels she tried to go up to the restaurant bar and order another drink and was refused. For sure very intoxicated."
