Rod Wave has been released on bond following a Fulton County, Georgia arrest.
As first reported by USA Today, Wave was arrested on Tuesday, May 20 on multiple charges, including aggravated assault and tampering with evidence. The arrest, per initial reports, stems from an incident alleged to have occurred on April 21, although exact circumstances were not immediately clear.
Online arrest records confirm that the charges are in connection with an alleged incident on April 21. As of this writing, local law enforcement agencies do not appear to have elaborated on the nature of this incident, at least not publicly.
The full list of charges, according to jail records viewed by Complex, are: aggravated assault, possession of firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies, pointing or aiming gun or pistol at another, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property – second degree, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers – misdemeanor, tampering with evidence – felony, possession of firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies, simple assault, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property – second degree, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers – misdemeanor, tampering with evidence – felony, and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Complex has reached out to Rod Wave’s reps for comment, as well as to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
In April of last year, Bradford Cohen and Mark Rankin, attorneys for Wave, disputed his arrest that month in Florida. As TMZ reported at the time, the attorneys said that the then-current charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon was incorrect, as Wave “is not a convicted felon and has never been a convicted felon.”
