Rapper Rod Wave faces more than a dozen charges, some involving a gun, after turning himself in
The rapper known as Rod Wave faces more than a dozen charges, some involving a gun, after he turned himself in to sheriff’s officials in Georgia on Tuesday.Wave, whose real name is Rodarius Green, voluntarily surrendered to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on warrants stemming from an April 21 police call in the Atlanta suburb of Milton, police there said.A police report obtained by the AP describes officers finding luxury cars with bullet holes in them and signs of a break-in at the home in one of Georgia’s most exclusive communities last month.But it does not explain why authorities are now accusing the rapper of several crimes.“There is no truth to these charges,” the rapper’s lawyers Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg said in a statement to The Associated Press.“Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes,” they said.
“How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible.This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr.
Green.”On April 21, Milton police responded to a home in the town north of Atlanta after a 911 report described “a possible domestic disturbance,” police said in a statement.A neighbor had heard yelling and screaming, and saw a woman crying, officers wrote in their initial report.Officers determined that the call was related to a previously unreported burglary and the discharge of a firearm at the location, police said.
They later obtained arrest warrants for Green, who lived there.The charges include aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit a felony, criminal damage to property and pointing or aiming a gun at someone, Fulton County Jail records show.He’s also accused of tampering with evidence — a felony — and obstruction of law officers.An initial police report obtained by the AP describes what officers found at the home when they arrived April 21.
