Upon seeing police, McElrath ran back and tried to get into the McLaren. Officers immediately placed McElrath in handcuffs and held the 21-year-old Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Farrelle Cozart, at tazer point.

The rapper had "bloodshot watery droopy eyes and mush mouth," the police report said. The report goes on to say he had a cup filled with a syrupy liquid known as "sizzurp," which is also known as "lean" or "purple drank." The liquid is a mixture of codeine-based prescription cough syrup, soda and Jolly Ranchers.
