Following the recent news of Diddy’s arrest for assault, Rick Ross has found himself in trouble with the Georgia Police Department for the second time this month. The ‘Hustlin’ star and self-made member of ‘the untouchable Maybach Music Empire’ (his words), has been arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
The original incident, in which Ross allegedly pistol-whipped a man working at one of his homes before preventing him from leaving, occurred on June 7th at a residence on Highway 279 in Fayetteville, south of Atlanta. It has been reported that Ross, 39, has a home there previously owned by former boxer Evander Holyfield.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Jim Joyner, a supervisor with the United States Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force claimed that Mr. Ross was arrested along with another man believed to be his bodyguard. The Fayette County sheriffâs office identified the bodyguard as Nadrian Lateef James, 42. He was also charged with kidnapping and aggravated battery.
The rapper has recently faced a misdemeanour marijuana charge following an arrest in Georgia earlier this month on June 10th. Ross (real name William Leonard Roberts) was pulled over in the Atlanta Metro area on a window tint violation, when the officer reportedly smelled and located marijuana in his Bentley.
