Some fans would do anything to meet Megan Thee Stallion – including face felony charges for impersonating an officer. This past weekend, local barber Trayvone Lil Darus Stevenson did just that, dressing as a member of the K-9 unit last Friday (March 31) to catch the rap diva’s first performance of the year at the AT&T Block Party. According to ABC 13, the man successfully gained admission into the concert by telling the administration on-site that he was working as security for the sold-out event.
While he surely felt great about making it into the venue, Stevenson was ultimately arrested around 8 PM, before the object of his desire even began her performance. It seems the 28-year-old spent his weekend at the Harris County Jail. Now, he’s facing charges of impersonating a public servant. Attorneys working on the case claim that the accused “has no qualifications as any type of law enforcement officer.” It’s also worth noting that the barber didn’t bring a dog with him to the AT&T Block Party, despite choosing to dress in a K-9 unit vest.

Yesterday (April 3), Stevenson was granted a $15,000 bond by the judge presiding over his antics, KHOU reported. Because he has no previous record, he was able to bond out following his hearing, court records reveal. Despite the relatively quick release, Prosecutor Mathew Jackson made it abundantly clear that “this is still a felony case,” and what the Houstonian hairstylist attempted to pull off is a serious breach of the law. “Megan Thee Stallion is a fantastic draw, big draw, especially here in Houston, but this is still a felony case. You cannot go and impersonate an officer to get into a concert venue,” he insisted.
The 28-year-old hasn’t responded to the situation herself, which is completely understandable seeing as she had the most jam-packed weekend we’ve seen in a minute. Aside from performing in her hometown for the first time in years, Thee Stallion also threw the first pitch at an Astros game in a curve-hugging all-white outfit a few days ago. On top of that, she also linked up with Shania Twain at the annual Country Music Awards, which you can read all about here. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.
