Rapper SpotemGottem arrested in Miami after allegedly using jet ski to try to get away from police

MIAMI – Rapper Nehemiah “SpotemGottem” Harden was trying to get away from police officers while riding an orange jet ski on Sunday in Miami, according to the Miami Police Department.

Officers accused Harden, 20, of Jacksonville, of risking people’s lives and property during the pursuit on Biscayne Bay that started near the Miami Marine Stadium in Virginia Key, according to the arrest form.

Harden is facing charges of fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer and reckless operation of a boat. Miami-Dade corrections records show he was out on bond for cases of aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of a firearm.

Last year, on July 15, the U.S. Marshals arrested Harden at the AC Hotel Miami Aventura and reported finding a gun on his bed. Detectives had accused him of being involved in the aggravated assault on June 20 during an argument with a parking attendant over an $80 parking fee in Miami Beach.
