Young Scooter‘s death resulted from a foot chase with police after a hoax call, and the person who dialed 911 has now been arrested.
Demetria Spence, better known as Baddies contestant Demi Blanco, was arrested by Atlanta police on Tuesday (April 1) and charged with transmitting a false public alarm that caused “serious bodily harm or death.”

Spence, 31, confessed earlier on Tuesday to making the fabricated 911 call that led police to Scooter’s home in Atlanta over claims of gunshots, violence against a woman and child endangerment.
Speaking on Instagram Live, Spence admitted to making the call but claimed that she was the one being assaulted — not a woman at Scooter’s house, as she had told the operator.

It is not known what Spence’s motive behind the call was.
An autopsy confirmed that Young Scooter (real name Kenneth Bailey) died from an injury to his leg caused when he was attempting to jump a fence while fleeing the police.
“Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss,” the report reads. “This injury was not a gunshot wound.”
The autopsy contradicts conspiracy theories that had begun to circulate online that the 39-year-old rapper had been fatally shot by cops.

Prior to its release, Scooter’s friend and collaborator Young Thug fueled this rumor by writing on social media: “Autopsy came back street got shot,” referring to Scooter by his nickname.
Thugger also hit out at Atlanta police detective Marissa Viverito, calling her the “biggest liar in the DA office.”
