On Monday (Nov. 8), social media star, Nikita Dragun was arrested at the Miami Beach hotel, and charged with four counts including battery on an officer and disorderly conduct. Per the arrest report, police arrived at the Good Times Hotel at 601 Washington Avenue after receiving complaints of a woman “causing a disturbance and walking around the pool area naked”.
