Streamer DeenTheGreat Arrested On Attempted Robbery Charges
DeenTheGreat, a well-known social media streamer and influencer boxer, was arrested on Wednesday, May 27, in Miami-Dade County. According to official jail records and police reports, he faces a felony charge of attempted robbery stemming from an alleged altercation involving a cellphone aboard a yacht.
The streamer, whose legal name is Shabazz, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center during the morning hours. Authorities have categorized the offense as robbery by sudden snatching or attempted strongarm robbery. As of Wednesday afternoon, court records indicated that bond had not yet been established.
The investigation was initiated following a complaint from a woman identified as Destiny Aleman, who accused Shabazz of attempting to forcibly take her cellphone during a dispute. Aleman reported to law enforcement that the confrontation intensified after several men allegedly approached her, despite instructions from Shabazz to avoid engagement.
Details of the Alleged Incident
According to the official police report, the incident occurred on a yacht, where investigators allege that Shabazz ordered Aleman to leave the vessel before grabbing her forearm in an attempt to seize her device. The report notes that the victim sustained a minor scratch during the struggle.
Law enforcement officials have since incorporated surveillance footage into their investigation. The owner of the yacht reportedly provided Ring camera video of the encounter, which police claim shows Shabazz instructing another individual to take the woman’s phone to prevent her from recording him. The footage allegedly captures physical contact between the parties as Aleman attempted to retain her property.
Police further stated that the video evidence appears to show Aleman falling into a defensive position on the ground before she was able to escape the confrontation.
