An Uber driver caught in a jaw-dropping viral video for allegedly pointing a gun at rising Miami rapper Bomb Ass Krissy… real name Krissy Celess… has officially been arrested. The wild footage set social media ablaze, but police body cam footage reveals a much calmer scene during her takedown.
Jennifer Benitez, the woman at the center of the storm, was taken into custody on May 17 in Port St. Lucie, Florida, after officers discovered she had outstanding warrants. The video shows police ordering her out of her car… she complies without resistance, lying face-down on the pavement as officers cuff her.
Despite the chaotic scene depicted in the viral clip, the arrest was surprisingly drama-free. Benitez remained silent as officers searched her and questioned her, choosing to invoke her right to remain silent. Before being placed in the squad car, she calmly requested her phone, purse, and keys. Benitez is now facing serious charges, including aggravated assault with a firearm.
The incident exploded online after Krissy Celess posted the original video, which showed her Uber driver yelling at her to exit the vehicle while frantically talking to 911. Tensions escalated when the driver reportedly accused Krissy of harassment and allegedly brandished what looked like a firearm, pointing it directly at the artist.
In the video, a visibly shaken Celess exited the car, warning the driver she’d “go viral” for her outrageous behavior… and she wasn’t wrong. The clip quickly gained traction across social platforms, prompting public outrage and calls for justice.
Now, with Jennifer Benitez in custody, authorities are taking the next steps in what has become one of the most talked-about ride-share incidents of the year.
