Singer Paulina Rubio faces charges in Miami after authorities said she refused to comply with police officers during a traffic accident.
According to an arrest report, Rubio's BMW collided with another car Saturday near Miami's Little Havana.
When asked to get out of her car, Rubio allegedly refused, cursed at an officer and said she was nervous.
The arrest report states that she said: “...That’s why people don’t like you because all of you Miami cops are abusive."

The officer continued to ask her to get off the phone, get out of the car and onto the sidewalk, and she was told twice that if she didn’t comply, she would be arrested, the report said.
The officer placed Rubio in handcuffs. The report states that Rubio screamed for help and threatened to call her attorney.
After she got into the patrol car, she continued to yell, the report said.
“You’re going to regret this! I’m calling my attorney. You are a liar,” the report quoted her as saying.
Police said that more than an hour later, Rubio calmed down and apologized. She is charged with refusing to obey a lawful command, obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct.
The report states that Rubio wasn't taken into custody because she needed to breastfeed her baby. She will have to appear in court.
Rubio’s agent couldn’t immediately be contacted, and it wasn’t immediately known who her attorney was.
