LOS ANGELES – Newly released audio from the Los Angeles Police Department reveals that the woman accused of discharging a firearm near Rihanna’s residence during an alleged home invasion attempt insisted on selecting music for her arresting officers during a high-speed pursuit through the city. Sources indicate the suspect, identified as 33-year-old Jameelah Williams, repeatedly threatened to 'switch to country' if her demands for a specific R&B playlist were not met.

“She was surprisingly particular,” stated Officer Darren Finch, a 15-year veteran of the force. “At one point, she yelled something about ‘the bass drop not hitting right’ over the loudspeaker. We were trying to de-escalate, but also, you know, chase her.” The pursuit, which reportedly spanned multiple freeways and several residential neighborhoods, was punctuated by Williams’s critiques of the LAPD’s musical taste.

According to dispatch recordings obtained by Hambry, Williams’s demands escalated to include specific track orders and requests for officers to 'really feel the vibe' of certain songs. “We had to pull out the old iPod Shuffle from evidence just to keep her from swerving into a bus lane,” admitted LAPD spokesperson Lt. Brenda Harrison. “It’s a new level of engagement for us.”

Williams was eventually apprehended after reportedly pulling over to complain about a sudden genre shift to 80s synth-pop. Officers noted she seemed more upset about the music than the impending charges.
