Rod Was Previously Arrested On 14 Charges
That is the second time Rod Wave has been arrested this 12 months. Back in May, authorities hit him with 14 charges after an incident on April 21, they usually booked him into Fulton County Jail.
“The fees included: Aggravated assault, two counts of possession of a firearm or knife… pointing or aiming a gun or pistol at one other, two counts of reckless conduct, two counts of criminal damage to property within the 2nd degree, two counts of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, two counts of felony tampering with evidence, easy assault, and conspiracy to commit a felony.”
On the time, Rod’s lawyers denied his involvement in aggravated assault or tampering with evidence. But he turned himself in and was released on bond shortly after, in accordance with Complex. Per TMZ, the incident stemmed from a reported dispute at his Atlanta home. The dispute reportedly involved a “disagreement along with his realtors and other associates.”
