Nikita Dragun is a free woman again.
Following her arrest in Miami, Nikita Dragun has been released from prison and was let go without having to pay any bail.
Nikita Dragun leaves prison without paying bail
At the time of her arrest, Nikita Dragun was placed in a men’s prison cell in Miami. This was met with much criticism after many feared for the safety of the beauty influencer.
In footage obtained by Local 10, Nikita Dragun was heard asking the judge if she has to stay in the men’s prison cell during her prison time. As shared by NPR, the judge noted that she doesn’t make the rules.
However, the beauty influencer was recently released from prison after spending nearly a day in confinement. She is expected to appear in court on the 7th of December.
Behind the beauty influencer’s arrest
Thus far, Nikita Dragun is reported to have been galavanting naked in a swimming pool at a hotel she was staying at. At the time, she was confronted by employees to stop doing that and she reportedly splashed them with water.
Later, police were called to the hotel as staff told Nikita Dragun that she would need to leave the hotel if she continued to disturb the other hotel guests. When police arrived, the influencer threw an open bottle at them, wetting them with water.
It is unclear what charges Nikita Dragun is facing as she is only scheduled to appear in court this December. However, a representative did share a little insight into her release from prison.
“This decision made by the Miami-Dade County corrections department directly violates their protocol, which mandates that transgender inmates are classified and housed based on safety needs and gender identity. Nikita has been released and is now safe.”
Presently, it is common for transgender individuals to be placed in a male prison in the United States. This comes as many corrections departments place individuals in certain facilities based on the gender they were assigned at birth.
