James Ross, formerly known as ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ winner Tyra Sanchez, has been arrested again in Florida. The star was arrested on 6 July in Starke after publicly protesting his latest arrest in May for allegedly attempting to resist arrest in the wake of a car accident. “We’ve arrested James William Ross.
He came out and was in his little outfit, and he had the police sign, hanging it up and showing and dancing,” the Chief of Police, Jeff Johnson, told Entertainment Weekly. “He was in a little G-string with a black bra on.
It still was within the ‘freedom of speech’ category. The problem we had was it was in an intersection within a construction zone, but it wasn’t really causing a traffic problem.” READ MORE: Drag Race winner Tyra Sanchez arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot police The officer added that it became an issue after Ross “went home” and came back with “a big old dildo” strapped on under his tights. “He comes back out on the road and starts shaking it,” he continued, “and that’s when people started stopping and cussing at him, and causing a traffic problem.
It was bad from there on.” Johnson stated that Ross will be booked on one charge of breach of peace. After winning season two of ‘Drag Race’ in 2010, Ross retired his drag persona in March 2020 and announced his desire to distance himself from the show.
