Tyler, The Creator was arrested last night for damaging sound equipment at a Christmas concert in Los Angeles club The Roxy.The club's bouncers called the police after the Odd Future rapper destroyed an electronic soundboard, reports The New York Times.
Tyler, The Creator was then driven to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and charged with felony vandalism. He was released on a $20,000 (£12,800) bond earlier today.
The young rapper recently said that he may be blamed for another Columbine, in reference to how Eminem and Marilyn Manson were accused by some of inspiring the Columbine High School shooting in 2009.
In June, Tyler, The Creator said that the Columbine shooters were "probably really cool people".
"I got into an argument because I said the Columbine [shooters] were probably really cool people," he said. "I was just saying they could have been really nice people, probably could have taken them to a game. I wasn't saying what they did was right."

Personally, I think he's disgusting. What I hate is how loads of people don't give a damn that he's a vile person just because he makes 'good' music. His attitude is one of the worst I've ever seen from an artist and frankly I'm not shocked he's been arrested for something.

Tyler the creator is a really cool rap artist, he and his group odd future are probably one of the best things to come out of hiphop in a long time.
