While
Beyonce spent the weekend celebrating her pregnancy, her sister
Solange Knowles had an unfortunate run in with the law. “A police officer just pulled a weapon on me…I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort,” she Tweeted. “I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as a n offense.” Police say she became “abuse” after she wasn’t allowed into a club and “there was no mention of a gun.” [
E!]
Possibly important detail:
Solange was turned away because she was holding a 5-foot tall, inflatable banana. The “weapon” in question is a knife police threatened to pop it with. [
