Singer Kelis is a free woman. The R&B songbird is free and clear after a Miami judge on Thursday tossed out charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest stemming from her arrest last year for allegedly interfering with a Miami Beach police operation.
In a statement, Kelis said she was "thrilled that justice prevailed in the end," chalked up the arrest to "racial profiling" and vows to sue the police.
Back in March of 2007, Kelis Rogers-Jones, was taken into custody after authorities claimed she disrupted an investigation by running toward two female undercover officers posing as prostitutes on South Beach and shouted racial epithets at them.
Kelis, who was with her rapper-husband, Nas, at the time, was booked on one count of disorderly conduct and another count of resisting arrest without violence. Nas was not charged.
