Puerto Rican reggaeton star Jhayco was arrested early Tuesday near West Miami after deputies allegedly found cocaine and cannabis in his car during a traffic stop, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said.

According to the arrest report, just before 3 a.m. a deputy spotted a red Corvette driven by the 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jesus Manuel Nieves Cortes, going 5 mph on SW 8 Street. As it approached SW 69 Avenue, the car came to a complete stop, the report said.

After not moving for a minute, the report said the deputy activated the patrol's lights and siren, and initiated a traffic stop.

The deputy wrote in the report that when approaching the car, there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from it and the driver had white powder on his pants and on his nose.
