Miami corrections officials say Nikita Dragun wasn\u2019t held in men\u2019s jail after arrest YouTube: Nikita DragunOfficials at the Miami-Dade corrections facility have denied claims that transgender influencer Nikita Dragun was held in a men\u2019s unit after reports sparked backlash online. Transgender YouTube star and model Nikita Dragun was reportedly arrested on the weekend of November 5 after appearing nude at the Goodtime Hotel pool in Miami, Florida. Dragun was charged with felony battery on a police officer, misdemeanor disorderly conduct, and misdemeanor battery after allegedly throwing water on an officer and security guards before being detained on a $5,000 bond. At the time of writing, Dragun has been released from jail \u2014 but reports state that the influencer was referred to by he\/him pronouns in a police report and was allegedly placed in a men\u2019s ward, according to a recorded conversation between Dragun and Judge Mindy Glazer during her hearing. In the conversation, Nikita asked Judge Glazer if she \u201chas to stay here in the men\u2019s unit still.\u201d Judge Glazer replied that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t make the rules\u201d at the facility but encouraged Dragun to ask a bondsman for separate accommodations. However, the Miami-Dade Corrections facility is denying any claims of placing Dragun in a men\u2019s unit as per reports from NBC 6 South Florida. Nikita Dragun was not held in men\u2019s unit, says Miami-Dade corrections facility \u201cInmate Dragun never made it beyond the booking process prior to release; therefore, she was never placed in a men\u2019s unit,\u201d spokesperson Juan Diasgranados stated. \u201cAll inmates undergoing our intake process remain in an open seating area, in the presence of correctional staff.\u201d Diasgranados also claimed that Dragun was placed in a separate holding cell due to her \u201chigh profile status\u201d as an influencer on top of purportedly being escorted by an LGBTQ officer during her stay. Thus far, Dragun has not released a statement speaking on her arrest, which has sparked a debate online regarding her purported treatment at the Miami-Dade correctional center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
