Rod Wave allegedly had a child bottle full of lean when he was arrested in Atlanta final Friday. According to an arrest warrant obtained by Atlanta News First, officers claimed the bottle contained “1 fl oz of a purple liquid, which I suspected to be promethazine.” The discovery got here after police stopped the rapper, actual title Rodarius Green, for reportedly rushing at 45 mph in a 30 mph zone.

After following him into a close-by QuikTrip gasoline station, an officer knowledgeable him he was being arrested for reckless driving and allegedly observed “an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.” When requested if he had any weapons, Wave didn’t reply. During a pat down, the officer reportedly discovered a black .40 caliber Glock with a high-capacity journal. An additional search of the automobile uncovered Oxycodone tablets and two firearms, together with the suspected lean-filled child bottle.

Rod Wave’s legal professional, Drew Findling, referred to as the arrest unjust and politically motivated. “On November 7th, the same day Rodarius Green earned a Grammy nomination, he was unjustly profiled and unlawfully arrested in Atlanta,” he mentioned in an announcement to XXL. “The arresting officer belongs to the Atlanta Police Department’s controversial Crime Suppression Unit, a group known for its aggressive tactics and emphasis on high arrest numbers rather than genuine public safety. Mr. Green was targeted as part of this quota-driven approach.”

The 25-year-old artist was charged with reckless driving, possession of managed substances, and possession of a firearm or knife. His passenger, Jamond Byner, was additionally arrested. Both posted bond the next day, simply hours after Rod Wave earned his first Grammy nomination for “Sinners,” featured in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners movie.
