Published | Updated

"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" star Rafi Gavron -- who played the gay singer in Michael Cera's band -- is going for some kind of arrest record ... because TMZ has learned, he was recently arrested TWICE in 12 hours.

We're told Gavron was first arrested by LAPD around noon Dec 15 for DUI. He was released 12 hours later and immediately arrested again on suspicion of domestic violence.

Law enforcement sources say Gavron was accused of striking a girl in the face and stomach, then taking off in the girl's car.

The domestic violence incident supposedly happened BEFORE the DUI arrest, but cops weren't able to immediately locate him ... until he ended up in the slammer for drunk driving. When the jail door opened, Gavron was busted again.

In all, Gavron's been charged with 4 felonies ... dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, false imprisonment by violence, domestic violence and unlawful taking of a car. The City Attorney will decide whether to charge him with DUI.

Calls to the actor's reps weren't returned.

Published | Updated

Rising R&B star B Smyth -- who's worked with industry titans like Future and 2 Chainz -- has some serious balls, 'cause he told a police officer he was going to BANG HIS WIFE during a traffic stop ... this according an arrest report obtained by TMZ.

According to the documents, the 21-year-old "Leggo" singer was pulled over in Coral Springs, FL on Sunday for tailgating -- and when police started their traffic stop ... Smyth got a little heated.

Cops say B (real name Brandon Smith) refused to accept his traffic citations, claiming he was only pulled over because he's black.

The report says Brandon then WENT OFF on the officers at the scene ... cussing them out ... and (this is a real quote from the report) "stated that he was going to sleep with one of the officers wives."

Classy.

B still could've gotten away with a ticket at that point ... but he refused to leave the gas station where he was stopped, and eventually police hauled him in for trespassing.

We reached out to B -- so far, no word back.

Police were dispatched 2 separate times to Evans' home yesterday -- both times for loudly arguing with her boyfriend outside ... according to reports.

Cops say Jenelle's BF told them the MTV star locked him out of the house during an argument ... but he agreed to go for a walk and cool off -- so officers left.

Shortly after, they were dispatched again ... and reportedly found her boyfriend had climbed in the house through a window -- which caused Jenelle to lock herself inside the bathroom.

Police handled the situation before attempting to leave -- but Janelle started yelling cuss words outside the house ... and when she refused to stop they took her into custody for "breach of the peace."

Worst part ... Janelle is still on probation -- meaning she could be facing additional jail time if convicted.

Janelle was only in jail for about an hour.

Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin is a wanted man ... again ... TMZ has learned, another bench warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Scantlin was scheduled to appear in court Thursday for a progress report in his ongoing coke possession case, but he failed to show up. A judge then issued a bench warrant for his arrest Friday.

Similar bench warrants have been issued for the singer over the last year in the same case.

Erin refused to submit a blood alcohol test ... and her bail was set at $100K.

George Zimmerman LEAVING FLORIDA I'm Done Standing My Ground!

Published | Updated

WARNING TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA: George Zimmerman is leaving the Sunshine State for good, TMZ has learned ... and he might be heading for your neck of the woods.

As we reported, George has had about enough of Florida, primarily because he feels like he's become a sitting duck for the media and law enforcement to prey on him.

We're told he would have moved a lot sooner, but the domestic violence incident with his GF last month -- the one with the shotgun -- kept him on lockdown within State lines ... literally. He had to get an ankle monitor.

But now that his GF has recanted her claims and the charges have been dropped, Zimmerman's a free man once again ... a free man who can legally pack heat again ... and he's planning to make the big move in the next couple weeks.

As for where Zimmerman is headed -- he's not saying ... because he's still afraid for his safety after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

George Zimmerman Wins Again Domestic Violence Charges DROPPED

Published | Updated

George Zimmerman's just won a big round in the "She-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" game -- his ex-girlfriend wants him back so badly, she's recanted her claim of domestic violence and the case has been dropped.

Zimmerman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery ... after GF Samantha Schiebe claimed he pulled a shotgun on her and pushed her out of their house.

But Samantha has had a change of heart ... she wants George back, and the State Attorney for Seminole County says Samantha now says she lied about the encounter and refuses to cooperate ... hence, there's no way to successfully prosecute him.

But there's still something blocking these lovebirds from reuniting -- a restraining order, which Samantha's lawyer is now trying to get lifted.

Bottom line ... because she's fickle, George is out of a pickle.
