Singer from Ke Personajes arrested after hitting a police officer in Entre Ríos
Emanuel Noir, vocalist and leader of the band Ke Personajes, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday in Concepción del Uruguay, province of Entre Ríos, after assaulting a police officer who attempted to prevent him from entering a casino that was closed.
According to elargentinodiario.com.ar, the incident occurred at approximately 5:45 a.m. The musician hit the uniformed officer, who was 40 years old, causing injuries to his face. At the time of the incident, Noir was accompanied by his friend Nicolás Gómez, 29 years old, who was also arrested, although the reasons for his charges were not disclosed.
According to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, the singer appeared agitated and violent in the presence of the officers who approached the scene. The auxiliary prosecutor on duty, Juan Pablo Gile, ordered Noir's transfer to the custody facility at the First Police Station. He was formally charged with resisting authority and assault.
Noir, born in Entre Ríos in 1989, gained prominence as vocalist of Ke Personajes. In various interviews throughout his career, he publicly disclosed difficulties in his childhood and adolescence, episodes of depression and substance abuse problems.
The arrest took place just days after it became known that Ke Personajes was selected as one of the bands to entertain the pre-match event of the Copa Sudamericana final alongside Boca Juniors club—a practice that Conmebol has maintained for several years, bringing a musical group representing each finalist. Official confirmation had not yet arrived when the arrest took place, and any decision in this regard was contingent upon the development of the legal proceedings.
