Things may have gotten a little bit out of hand for Webbie in a Baton Rouge hotel room today (July 5). According to TMZ, the 31-year-old rapper was arrested after a 25-year-old woman told police that he “choked her, hit her and refused to let her leave the room for more than two hours.”
The unidentified woman reportedly had visible bruising around her neck and face and was transported to a nearby hospital. According to reports, the Trill Entertainment artist was arrested but “complained of some medical issue,” so he was taken to a hospital as well. After being cleared by doctors, he was then taken to jail.
The rapper (whose real name is Webster Gradney, Jr.) was charged with three felony counts of second degree battery, false imprisonment, and domestic abuse by strangulation.
This isn’t the first time that he has been accused to assaulting a woman. Back in 2012, he was arrested for battery and robbery after allegedly kicking a woman down a flight of stairs, according to TMZ.
Since being locked up, his fans have already started a campaign to free him. See a few tweets below.
